I have noticed that my windshield gets alot of bugs when driving. Does anyone have the air deflector and does it reduce the number of splattered bugs on the winsheild?

I haven't got the air deflector although I must agree about the bugs. I have even gone so far as to follow other cars to a rest stop or gas station just to see if they were picking the same amount of bugs as my E. No way, my E is a bug magnet on the Freeway. Very strange . :roll:

I had a Suzuki Sidekick years ago and it was such a bug magnet! So far it's been too cold for bugs here!

It's because the windshield is at such an upright angle. When I drove a civic, I had virtually no bug impact on the windshield. Don't know about the air deflector, though, 'cause I got the bare bones EX and have been slowly adding to it.
