Guys,

I installed the bug deflector i bought from Handa and now the hood doesnt seem to close. Has anybody else experienced this ?

I installed the deflector 4 days ago and had exactly the same problem. I called the dealer and they said to bring it in Mon. so I tried 1 last time and it finally caught. Mon. the service dept tried it and it worked the next 6 times in a row with little effort. Go figure. Judy's husband.

Is it easy to install the bug shield? How long does it take to put it on? Any other problems of closing the hood?

Thanks :D

I just installed mine last night. It took about 40 min. I had no problems closing my hood. I personally think it looks pretty good, but the functionality of it is another question.
