Bugs, bugs, and more bugs. There is no escape from these little creatures. It gets worse when they end up splattered all over your truck when you are driving down the freeway. Whether we like it or not, the miniature road kill does happen… and sometimes, very frequently. Despite the tragic fate of the bugs, your truck can also suffer from unfortunate outcome due to bug residue sticking to the surface of your panels. Splattered bugs on vehicle surfaces are known to cause chemical reactions that can damage the finish of the paint. We can reduce this kind of occurrence by installing accessories like the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 bug shield. Here are a few tips for installing a bug shield to your truck.
Tip #1: Cracked areas on your old bug shield may be a sign that it needs to be replaced.
Your old bug shield has already aged due to long-term exposure to elements. In the process, it wears out the quality of the panel’s material. This can lead to cracks, scratches, discoloration, and distortion. If these symptoms are already manifesting on your bug shield, you might want to consider getting a replacement.
Tip #2: Pick the bug shield specifically designed for the year model and trim of your Silverado.
There is a wide variety of bug shields available in the market. When picking one for your truck, always make sure that it is specifically designed for the year, model, and trim of your Silverado. Truck hoods have different lines as trucks evolve into newer models. You don’t want to end up installing a bug shield only to find out that it does not follow the shape of your hood because it is suited to an older truck model.
Tip #3: Make sure to clean the surface of the hood before mounting the new bug shield.
Before you mount your replacement bug shield, make sure that the hood is clean and dry. This ensures that the panel will be attached properly to your hood.
