Summertime is Here: Time for a Bug Shield on Your Car

Cleaning bugs off the windshield after a long drive can cause frustration for even mild-mannered drivers. And with summer weather here, the number of airborne insects increases exponentially, creating even more muck splattered across the glass. Fortunately, a solution exists to prevent this situation from occurring in the first place.

A bug shield installed across the front of your hood can not only greatly reduce the number of bugs hitting your vehicle but also prevent rock chips in your paint. At Mobile Installation, we can fix you up with a bug shield to keep your vehicle in top shape all summer long.

Benefits to using a bug shield:

●        A bug shield directs air over the vehicle, causing insects to fly over the roof instead of into the windshield.

●        It directs debris and small rocks up over the vehicle, protecting your paint job.

●        It prevents chips at the front of the hood, acting as a physical barrier to damaging debris.

●        By directing air over the vehicle, it helps reduce drag, increasing potential fuel economy.

Choose From a Variety of Applications

Historically, bug shields were installed primarily on trucks and big rigs. Originally, bug shields were nothing more than a strip of flat plexiglass mounted to the hood. Advancements in engineering and aerodynamics have also been applied to many modern automotive accessories, including bug shields.

The days of unwieldy and unsightly strips of plastic at the nose of big trucks have given rise to sleek, molded, and aerodynamic polymer bug shields which contour the shape of the vehicle and come in a variety of shades and colors.

Here are a few advantages of modern bug shields:

●       Secure installation using existing holes or factory hardware

●       Strong and secure installation using 3M automotive tape where no other mounting options exist

●       Shields may be emblazoned with a stylish and bold pattern or picture overlays, such as American flag motif or camouflage

●       Advanced molding techniques make it possible to manufacture shields to fit perfectly along curves of your specific vehicle

●       High-impact materials offer superb protection against flying debris

Choose the Right Shield For Your Vehicle

While bug shields remain popular for trucks of all sizes, there is also wide availability for many SUVs, crossovers, and other passenger cars. Choosing the right one for your vehicle depends largely on your personal taste and what will look best. You can choose something low-profile and sleek to blend in naturally or something brash and bold to make a statement. Whatever your personal taste, there is a bug shield to suit your style.
