Ordered Lund Aeroskin II Hood Protector - Received Something Different/New

[nunucello]

Used my Ford Points to order the "Lund Aeroskin II Hood Protector" from my Ford Dealer.

What I received is different - it is Textured (not smoke) but does not have the rise on the protector.

The Part # for the Aeroskin II does not even show up in Ford Dealer Parts computer system.
What I received does fit the Maverick. It's shaped like the smoke one - but mine is textured without the rise.

Only thing I can guess is maybe the Aeroskin II Hood Protector on the Ford website is discontinued or was changed for the maverick ?
Or Ford ran out of stock of the Aeroskin II Hood Protector - and this is the current substitute ? I really have no idea and and guessing in the dark.

Not sure about the part number, but on another thread the aeroskin smoke gray was listed with part number ending with 900A???

When you type in part # VNZ6Z-16C900-C (for the Aeroskin II) on the Ford website it shows up the Aeroskin Smoke deflector btw.

Not surprised about the screw up. I ordered the horizontal bed net and got the vertical one in the bag labeled for the horizontal. Also, I ordered the hood deflector and it was lost in transit. Hopefully my WeatherTech deflector arrives!

I have heard rumors that the Aeroskin II was discontinued because it was causing a large amount of hood flex/vibration at higher speeds. No idea if thats true, but it is not sold on the ford accessory site anymore.

Arghhh! Now I want to replace my original one with this one.

Because of the texture or ?

I have the original textured one that has the bump. I would rather not have the bump, while keeping the textured look.

Makes sense, how is your hood shake currently ?

I ordered the textured with Ford embl‘em and got the smoke without an emblem. I think they should credit some points back.

I wanted the bump, causes wind deflection to help prevent rocks hitting the windshield.
Already waiting on a replacement windshield due to a rock hitting it and cracking it 12 days after buying the truck, before putting the Aeroskin 2 on.

I fixed the hood shake by doing this:

I had that flexing problem, when I used their hood deflector on my 1st Maverick

Did you have the flat one or the one with the bump?
