Default Hood bug deflector

Will the installation of a hood bug deflector change the way the wind flows over the Jeep so that I do not get wind blasted with just the two front windows down? Right now I have to partially roll down the back windows to alleviate the amount of air blasting in the front windows.

Maybe check this out...............search ebay

Jeep Top Wind Deflector Shield Fits the 07 08 Wrangler $51.70

Attaches to the windshelid header and diverts the wind up and over the jeep.
Can't vouch for how good it works.

Looks just like the hood deflector, just thinner.

My JK doesn't have the bug shield but my crawling buddies does.

NO!

Thats the answer. The 4 doors have so much interior room that just rolling down the front windows causses alot of wind buffeting. Buffeting is that really low bass like sound kind of like helicopter blades. We always have to crack our rear windows a few inches to help equalize the air pressure in the back. I can also tell you that the rain guards on the windows don't do a thing when there is a cross wind. So you can pretty much expect to have your hat blown off if your top is off and your windows are downor doors are off in a stiff crosswind.
Even if you just have the windows cracked front and rear just to get som fresh air it feels like some one is blasting your face with an air compressor.

But I don't care I knew what I was buying when I bought it.
