:like:

I would have done the same but my wife gets dealer cost on Weathertech, so I settled for the AlloyCover. I've not seen a better tonneau than what Lomax offers.
🙂
I purchased the “Stance”. I wanted to have the fully open and well supported option.

I installed one of these deflectors on my 99 F150 and it was supposed to keep bugs off the windshield, that was BS. A friend ask if it worked and kept bugs off the wdshield and I said No, it keeps bugs off the front of the hood behind the deflector. I left it on the 150 for about 10 to 12 years and then pitched it. The front of the hood still looked real good. 😆

This is the 2022 WeatherTech Bug Deflector on my 2024 Lariat. It is raised and fastened on, not the glued on one. I don't like the glued ones because the adhesive tape has openings and IMO salt and grime could hide under those over time, and I would rather not glue anything to the paint. I liked this one the best because you do not have to glue any posts to the hood. It has rubber buttons that glue to the deflector. It has a close fit but you still can wash underneath it. I bought it from WeatherTech. They label it the 2022 and It fits the 2024 perfect. I like to avoid Amazon because WeatherTech makes more profit and it is the same $105.00 total price with shipping as Amazon. Bezos is rich enough.

I think most of the real deflector type of hood guards went off the market after they caused hood shake problems on the early Mavericks. These problems were soon corrected (by Ford), but most of those products never returned to market. Now what's most often available is the close fitting leading edge bug and stone guard that protects the paint it covers but, deflects nothing.

This is true- I have the original Lund and am looking to use plastic dip to give it some texture- Tired of the shiny sheen -

Too bad they stopped making it. I like that one the best. It has no rumble. The pads are connected to deflector rather than the hood. And you can clean under it. It is 1/2 inch gap off the hood.

I do not see any for my 2024 Lariat that do not use tape to install, continue to look, not even for a 2022 on the weather tech site or amazon? Any insight and or model #. Thanks. Chris
