Need advice - choosing bug deflector & window visors

[Sendit6.5]

I’m looking for a good bug shield/deflector that has the “SUPER DUTY” wording in it, for my 2022 F350. Is the Ford version the best product or is there something else better?

I’m also looking for some window visors and I’m wondering what the community brain trust recommends? I like the idea of the no-adhesive ones from Weathertech but there seem to be a LOT of complaints about the clips they use stretching out the weather stripping around the window. I’ve had the tape on window visors adhere to the clear coat (granted, it was after about 6 years of use) and it messed up the paint job. Still, I’m open to this attachment method if it’s better - I’ll just remove and replace them every 2-3 years to be safe. What do y’all recommend??

I have the Ford factory deflector. I had Granger install after I thought about driving the truck home 2,000 miles.
No issues. Goes through the carwash just fine. Pretty low profile.

I picked up in granger about 3 weeks ago, got 4500 miles under my belt, and the factory hood deflector is doing really well for me. It is well attached, well supported, and is keeping the hood as clean as it keeps the leading edge of the hood clean. Very happy with it.

How is the factory hood deflector attached? I'd prefer to not mess with adhesives

Screwed on with brackets attached to underside of the hood, kept from contacting the hood with several of those self adhesive clear rubber dots stuck to the hood between the hood and deflector.

I have the factory installed bug deflector and had the rain guards installed at the dealer upon delivery. Both are great!

My Ford factory deflector shatter coming out of the car wash. It was a touchless car wash but when I got to the blowers it flew right off. the owner came out and apologized. He said he has had many of these ford deflectors snapped because they’re so rigid and stiff. I got the weathertech one with no issues. It has a lot more give.

I’ve got the factory deflector as well and would definitely recommend. It matches the contours of the hood perfectly and blends in especially well with black appearance package trucks.

i know you have an aversion to adhesives but the 2 best items i have found is the low profile tape on rain deflectors by auto vent shade part #894061 in the smoke color NOT matte. also went with the factory stick on bug deflector same as drtwrm

This has been posted about in ad nauseam. A search will provide a lot of info.
The OEM hood protector that has fasteners and (not the tape on version) has worked great for me. Not a fan of the 3m tape on hood protectors at all. With the taped hood protector you can never clean the front of the hood behind the deflector. Spend the extra coin.
With the my Lithium Gray and BAP it’s a seamless blend.
Happy.

I ordered these side window shields from Weathertech very easy to install. Tremor a little dirty.

Just ordered the factory hood deflector, 20% off online till tomorrow. Never had one on my F-150 and I should have. Trying to protect the beast as much as possible. Had the bumpers poly wrapped a few months ago, I clearly remember what the F-150 bumpers looked like after years of being on the road.

I have the WeatherTech in channel visors. I won't be doing them on my 250. They scratch my window tint cause they catch a lot of dirt/dust plus they rattle in the channel after they stretch out the stripping.
