Default LUND bug deflector vibrates

I installed the Lund Bugdeflector ll with the 3M tape. I have noticed a few new noises. I am getting what appears to be more wind noise on my windshield. I assume there is not much I can do about that. I also noticed when the car is a bit cold and running rougher , and I am braked at a light or stop sign , there is a noticeable vibration from the deflector. I can push down on the hood and it goes away. I also notice a vibration sound when I accellerate. I was thinking of putting rubberized electrical tape on the underside of the deflector- where it hits the front grill. Anyone have any ideas about this option- or any other option. Thanks

Take it off. That should fix it.





Just wait til it starts rubbing all your paint off. That's fun too.

Take a hair drier and run it accross the top of the visor for a couple min. Keep pushing on the top of the visor. The hair drier will acctivate the glue and force it to stick to the door. That should completly fix your vibration problem

I decided to take the plunge and I adjusted the rubber hood stopper mounts on the passenger side of the car( where I suspected the noise was coming from. I was successful in eliminating the vibration. I have to check the alignment in the morning light. I think I may have raised it up a little too much. I think that side of the hood is now visibly - slightly higher than the driver's side.
