Bug Deflector
The other day I bought a bug deflector for the new Ram, today I attempted to install, no drill type, has push in "plugs". Anyhow, after install, could not get the hood to close, seems that the rubber seal between hood and grill, with the bug deflector, are two thick to close. Anyone have this issue? Did you have to remove the seal? Not really looking to take the seal out but...
Thanks

Thanks for the input, the brand is Vent visor Bug deflector 2, no drill, attaches with four push/screw type. Instructions had no mention of the stock seal. Saturday I finally got around to taking the seal off and install the deflector, after install was able to close the hood but seemed a little loose also did not like the way it looked on the truck. Was going to delete this post but could not figure out the way to do.
Thanks again

For the guys that have the 4th gen bug deflector....
do you notice if you really get less bugs on the windshield, and does the deflector help keep the wipers from lifting off the glass at higher mph scenario`s..??.. or does it ONLY keep the bugs from hitting just the front leading edge of the hood. I`d like to put one on my truck, BUT, only if it will REALLY help deflect bugs from the windshield AND help keep the wipers more firmly planted on the windshield by actually deflecting wind from hitting the wipers and lifting off the glass. I`ve always seen issues with standard wipers lifting off the windshield @ 60mph and higher with both of my 4th gen trucks. I`m tired of spending big dollars for the snake oiled wipers, they stay put pretty good above 70mph, but they dont last any longer than the cheapo`s. So, if a bug deflector helps deflect turbulent windshield wiper issues, i`d buy one in a heartbeat.

No idea on the wipers, but maybe you should try the blade style - never had the issue you are describing. I'm on my 2nd set of Bosche blades, the ice is what really seems to kill the scrapers, but at least there is no frame to get froze up with ice. The main thing that the bug deflector does is to protect the leading edge of the hood from chips.
