Review on Auto Ventshade [AVS] Bugflector II / Hood Shield Dark Smoke 24139 2006 - 2012 Toyota Rav4 by Kevin Duhon

Revainrating 5 out of 5

So easy to install a monkey could put it on

Keep those rock chips off your hood! If you live in the salt belt (like Minnesota; whenever it snows .00001" MNDOT dumps 50 billion tons of salt and ground up Justin Bieber CD's on the road) this hood shield will help keep part of the hood looking new. Fits perfectly on my 2012 RAV4. So easy to install a monkey could put it on. Well, maybe not a monkey that suffered a massive head injury due to roller skating in front of a cement truck, but even I installed this hood shield in under 10 minutes. TECH TIP: the little plastic screws/clips/push in fasteners that come with the shield do push right in. Don't be an idiot (like me) and try to actually screw them in- just push! And I also didn't install the 4 little rubber circle stick on thingies because I can't possibly see this shield flexing that much. Maybe if you modded your RAV4 to go 200mph (ho-boy would I like to see that) then the shield may come in contact with the hood. A highly recommended accessory for your RAV4!

Pros
  • Good fit, easy assembly
Cons
  • The hood shield is not effective in preventing all bugs and debris from hitting the windshield while driving
