I had some tools in my hand and the other hand on the hood to close it and slammed the hoot shut and my hand went through the bug basher

Those damn things are expensive too, $60 for a new one.

Was it a old one? because it should be able to take that abuse. If it's newer warranty time. Still sucks sorry you broke it.

The body shop put it on when they fixed the front end. Don't know if it was new or not.

A body shop putting on used parts? Hmmm. I would check with them. It hasn't been a year has it?

Sometimes when the weather sucks you just gotta give'r. Glad everything worked out. I'd chuck those deflectors and not look back. They do more harm then good and IMO look bad on any and every car.

Yeah, gravel chips on front of the hood are so much better!
