Bolt-on Hood Deflectors not for Mojave Gladiator—WHY?

[starrskream]

FYI its not gonna deflect anything

lol maybe, maybe not. if it deflects one rock it paid for itself.
In theory these things can, might or should change how the wind passes over the windshield while driving. If only a small bit. Hard to say with out some wind tunnel testing LOL. I still catch ALL THE BUGS while driving. "but it looks really cool!" It did deflect some cash out of my pocket, so there's that... HAHAHAH

The Mopar deflector attaches to the bottom edge of the hood using existing holes. No reason for it not to work on any year or model. Download the installation instructions and compare it to your hood. It might look a bit odd in front of the scoop on the Mojave hood.

It will deflect the wind so the Jeep will go faster

But from an official Mall Crawler who had a bug deflector on my JKU, it did push the bugs away from my windshield when I drove fast.

Deflects from the middle of the windshield to the upper part.

What's the return policy?

I’d have to look it up, but I’ve returned stuff to both Extreme Terrain and Quadratec before. Both have the deflector.

I don't understand why anyone would drill holes in their hood, just for looks on a bug deflector.

The bolt on deflector doesn’t actually require any drilling. It’s for looks And uses double sided tape like yours.

I’ve got a 2025 Mojave with 600 miles on it. Driving home from work yesterday, I took a pebble right under my rear view mirror and it sounded like a .38! Thankfully after cleaning the windshield, no damage done. If the MOPAR deflector I ordered fits, I think it would’ve stopped that from happening. I’m only speculating, but it’s worth a try for me. If nothing else, it gives me a false peace of mind.

What’s the verdict RMansfield? Any luck in your search?

I just ordered MOPAR 82215367AB. According to 3 different Jeep parts counters, it’s supposed to work with my VIN. I’ll update this thread if it works or not!

Hope it does, I just input my VIN said it does not fit. I have a 23 Mojave

I’ll certainly update this thread with what I find out and pics.

As discussed, below are pics of the MOPAR deflector on my ‘25 Mojave. It fits well and looks decent I think. I bought it at Quadratec:

I had this one on my JKU, although it looks bolt on, it wasn't - all adhesive Here's how it would look on our JT's:

FORMFIT HOOD PROTECTORS

Looks good. I don’t think it will fit the Mojave though. Unless someone’s tried it. That hump changes things.
