A word of caution - as I was reading through this forum about a pronounced hood shake, I found a post where Ford acknowledged that the hood air deflector may be a contributing factor. I'd be curious if someone with NO hood shake added a hood deflector and then started to experience hood shake, or vice versa.

I had the hood deflector ordered for my Maverick. Back ordered, I had to wait. I had approx 2300 miles on mine before they installed the deflector. It was installed on a Thursday evening and I drove the few miles hyome.
Friday morning I left for a long trip. I now have hood shake! Never before the deflector was added but I have it now.
It's a fact, no def;ector no hood shake. Deflector installed, bad hood shake at speed!

I have hoodshake ever since getting the deflector. I had 400 miles in without any hoodshake before i installed it.

What type of hood protection are you thinking about adding to your Maverick?
- Film
- Low provide deflector
-"Standard" height deflector

I'm thinking a low profile deflector.
I'm going to use vinyl carbon wrap for front of hood and lower panel of doors for protection. Had used it on my 2013 Kia soul.

Hood Deflector.jpg

Only bought two Ford products upon ordering: hood and window air deflectors. I do 50 miles of commute at 80 mph on the same freeway as a bunch of other commuters and delivery trucks kicking up rocks and debris, so the goal was to avoid some of those rocks and car parts from bouncing up to my hood and windshield. I like the way they break up the color as well.

Do you experience any hood shake after adding the hood deflector?

Just curious, if anyone knows is the hood shake happening with both types of the Aeroskin deflectors? Or is it only the textured one with the lip in the middle?

I have low profile smoked color one and do NOT have a hood shake issue at all. Can’t speak to the other type.

That's what I was wondering... Obviously just speculating, buy maybe it's a issue with the Textured deflector catching wind at high speeds?

I am wanting to use a deflector as well but have had zero luck finding one for the Mav.

I think I’ve searched all the normal locations on the net. Nada!
Should be able to order a smoked or textured from ford its an option I ordered on mine if I ever get it!!!

Can't comment on what the truck drove like before deflector as it was installed before I picked it up. To answer your question about hood shake, it's been an ongoing issue. This is my truck:

Just installed my hood deflector today

Got my deflector yesterday, still waiting for my VB XLT Hybrid. I'm glad to see a good photo of one installed. It looks great, just what I need up here in Maine. Question: Can I assume that I would want to install mine before I get the truck waxed, to ensure maximum adhesion?
