Material : PlasticYour Jeep Wrangler JK bug shield gives your car reliable protection from small debris and creepy crawlers while you're on the road. It's strategically positioned over the hood so it can effectively deflect insects or rocks from your windshield. Because of its intended function, your bug shield can get dirty in no time. Too much dirt will make it look neglected and cause it to wear out prematurely. To keep your bug shield looking fresh and new, check out these following maintenance tips:
Prevent dirt from building up over your bug shield by simply cleaning it regularly. Use mild car soap and a soft lint-free cloth or chamois for washing. Scrub dead bugs off using a soft-bristled brush to prevent abrasions. Don't forget to hose off the area between your bug shield and hood to flush out any debris or bugs that got stuck in there.
A Jeep Wrangler JK bug shield is either made from ABS or acrylic. Whichever material yours is made of, keep in mind that there are certain chemicals present in cleaners that can potentially harm the material of your bug shield. One classic example of a chemical that's detrimental to most plastic is ammonia. Steer clear of ammonia-based cleaners and solvents to prevent damaging your bug shield's surface. You should also read the cleaning instructions that came with your bug shield to see if there are additional guides on how to clean it.
Your car's hood constantly vibrates after you turn on the engine. This vibration can cause the bug shield's bolts to gradually loosen after some time. To avoid safety hazards, routinely check if the bolts of your bug shield are still fastened snugly and tighten them if they're not.
If you see cracks or broken parts on your bug shield, fix them immediately to avoid any accidents. The last thing you want is a broken bug shield flying towards your windshield while you're on the highway. Simply apply a bit of solvent cement on the broken parts, and you're good to go.
A dead bug splattered on your Jeep Wrangler JK is a nasty sight, and cleaning it off is even nastier especially with its acidic juices that can harm your vehicle's paint. Fortunately, getting your Jeep a bug shield helps you reduce this problem. The main purpose of your Jeep Wrangler JK bug shield is to keep small debris and insects away from your vehicle while you're on the road. Aside from this, it's also a quick and easy way to customize your front end. Luckily, you don't need to visit a professional just to have a bug shield mounted on your car. Check out these simple ways to make your bug shield installation hassle-free:
Tip #1: Wash your car first.
Like every other exterior accessory, a bug shield also requires a clean surface to adhere to. So, start off its installation by cleaning your car thoroughly. Make sure you remove any dirt and grime especially on the mounting area. You should also wipe the surface with some rubbing alcohol to clean off dirt or oil residue completely. After cleaning the surface carefully, dry it off before you start sticking your bug shield on. This is not a task that you should overlook; keep in mind that the adhesive on your bug shield won't stick on a wet or dirty surface.
Tip #2: Mark placement lines over your hood.
It's a good idea to pre-fit your bug shield over your hood before the actual installation. Put it over your car and take the proper measurements to ensure that you'll be installing it over the right area. After you've made sure that it's positioned exactly where you want it, draw placement lines on each side of the hood. These placement lines will help you determine where you should stick your bug shield on, making the installation process a lot easier.
Tip #3: Tighten up the bolts properly.
During installation, ensure that you tighten the bolts securely to keep your bug shield from coming loose while you're driving. Your bug shield may also break if you tighten up the bolts too much, so make sure that you apply just the right amount of torque.
