Review on Smoke Color 20043 AVS Hood Shield Carflector Low Profile Fits 2013-2017 Chevrolet Traverse by Alfonso Alexander

Revainrating 5 out of 5

2017 Traverse Good Fit

It fit great on the 2017 traverse. The holes line up perfect. The hardest part was pulling out the 4 plastic clips the factory uses to attach the rubber weatherstrip under the hood. Once i got those out it slid perfect into place between the weatherstrip and the hood. The 4 screws make their own thread into the hole so don't be surprised that there is none when you first get that stupid plastic clip out. Wish i has a trick for you to get those plastic things out, but there wasn't any technique i just bent and twisted them till the popped out. Read the directions, it tells you to rotate the hood stops those 1.25 turns counterclockwise. This was a little too much for me, the hood would not latch then. I landed up turning them maybe a little shy of 1 revolution counterclockwise. It looks nice, i have no idea why people said it was not centered or the holes did not line up on the travserse it seemed perfect to me.

Pros
  • Looks great on our traverse, went on easy would buy again
Cons
  • The hood shield may reduce the airflow around the engine, which can cause overheating and mechanical problems in the long run
