The Jeep windshield is like a bug magnet! I've started using Deep Woods Off, and it, well, doesn't help one bit! I think I need more DEET!

I actually, all kidding aside, installed one of those gas station bug tubs and window washer on the wall next to where I park the JT. It bugged me at 1st.

Pun intended? lol. That is a good idea. I only had issues driving on county roads at night. When we drove up to the U.P. a few weeks back, holy lord.......you would think I single handedly solved the rural bug problem.

Think the bugs are bad wait 3 / 4 years when replace windshield just for wear - Sandblasted from sand and salt. So gradual until your wipers only last one season - Its a Jeep Thing

Thanks. 1-2 more photos outside would be great. Looks good even though that photo is a little dark.

Can anyone who's installed one of these comment as to whether or not they actually help to any noticeable degree? Or are they just a glorified hood decoration?

Well I’ve been driving with mine for a week.
Seems if any bugs hit, its on the very top or edge of the glass. So aero wise it is moving
the air current a little higher. Keeps the splats out of my direct field of view.
