This video shows a detailed installation of the WeatherTech Stone & Bug Hood Deflector for the 5th generation Toyota 4Runner (2010-2020). I purchased this deflector locally from a WeatherTech distributor.
Product Website:
www.weathertech.com/toyota/20...
WeatherTech Distributors:
www.weathertechwholesale.com/...
Installation Steps:
1) Wash area of the vehicle where the hood deflector will be installed.
2) Install hood inserts into the correct locations under the hood.
3) Put the plastic washers onto the metal screws.
4) Hold the deflector up to the hood inserts and get the screws started into the holes.
5) While pushing the crease of the deflector into the crease of the hood, tighten the screws down.
6) Slowly lower the hood and make sure that it can be closed without too much force.
7) Install the 'bump on' pieces between the hood and the deflector if you choose to.
8) Please recycle your WeatherTech box and manual after installation.
WeatherTech notes that if the hood will not close after installation, the 'hood bumper' or 'bumper stop' may need to be adjusted. I did not have this issue but it was a snug fit when closing the hood.
Please don't hesitate to comment below if you have any questions or concerns about the installation process or where to purchase the item. I am more than happy to help.
Apologies for the audio quality as it was a windy day and I had to use high pass filters and alter the sound to make it somewhat bearable. I am also getting over a cold so you may hear me breathing heavily at times. Hopefully, this will be the first of many videos to come regarding my Toyota 4Runner and my huskies, Kodiak and Sadie. Please subscribe or like the video if you want more and please feel free to provide any suggestions for future videos.

if anyone is worried about sticking the bumpons to the hood, why not just stick em to the back side of the bug deflector instead?

I know this is an old video, but did the deflector run on the top of the front fascia? I’m returning an avs one for that reason.

What's your long term review of this? Does a lot of dust/dirt/rocks get inside it, possibly leaving scratches and paint chips? I'm looking into deflectors or paint protection film, but gathering pros/cons.

I hope to get a video done for a long term review but it may be a bit. No dust or dirt or leaves or anything like that gets stuck in mine. The only part I have noticed that rubs a little is on the top of the front bumper. It is scuffing a little but the deflector covers it. There is no rubbing or paint chipping on the hood at all. Just on the top of the bumper the deflector is rubbing because the fit is snug. I imagine with a little adjustment this can be avoided. Hope this helps.

Did you look at the low profile WeatherTech hood protector as well? if so, what made you decide to pick the one you did? I am trying to decide between the two. Thanks.
@4LOWeRUNNER
@4LOWeRUNNER 4 года назад
I did originally get that by accident but I didn't want anything that actually attached to the paint on the hood. The protector is just to protect the front edge of the hood while the deflector is meant to deflect stones and bugs away from the hood and windshield. The protector attaches by adhesive on top of the hood while the deflector attaches by screws under the hood. I preferred the look of the deflector also.

Nice - just received mine today for a 2019 4runner ORP. Do you think installing the bump-ons on the underside of the deflector itself - maybe just a couple of them? I can see it would take a lot to actually push it down onto the paint.
@4LOWeRUNNER
@4LOWeRUNNER 4 года назад
I wouldn't bother putting them on the hood but it is entirely up to you. That being said, I have noticed rubbing on the top of the grill, underneath the deflector, so maybe that is the place to put them but this may prevent the hood from closing. I'm going to look into seeing if maybe the hood can be adjusted a little to accommodate the deflector better.

Hi mike. I just installed this on my 2020 4Runner and noticed it being somewhat snug also. Have you made any adjustments or does it settle in. Thanks for the video.

It does settle in after some time. My hood is much easier to close than when I originally installed. Sorry for the delayed response.

The tire size I have currently is stock 265/70-17. It came with the Nitto Terra Grapplers. Planning to upgrade to 285/70-17 Nitto Ridge Grappler or Trail Grappler now that I just installed my stage 7 Icon suspension kit last week. Video soon to come.

Nice video, is the deflector rubbing against the hood and grill frame causing paint damage to the seam edges?
@4LOWeRUNNER

Yes it is rubbing a little bit on the top of the grill but is completely covered by the hood deflector itself. Will be noticeable if I remove deflector though.

I wish they made them to fit tight to the vehicle .. imo they look weird sticking way up so I decided to go with 3m vinyl protection instead . Good video tho
@4LOWeRUNNER
@4LOWeRUNNER 3 года назад
WeatherTech does make one that is tight to the vehicle. It is the hood protector. What I install in the video is the hood deflector. Check out www.weathertech.com/toyota/2020/4runner/hood-protector/

I don't find too many bugs on my windshield so I guess it's doing its job. Haven't had any further rocks or stones hit either.

@4LOWeRUNNER
@4LOWeRUNNER 4 года назад
It is supposed to help deflect small stones and bugs but I image it can't stop them all. I imagine it does do some deflecting but doubt it's really noticeable. I suppose in most cases it won't prevent a rock or stone from hitting your hood or windscreen but it may change the angle of it enough to prevent a chip from occurring.

I only watched this to see if this is the deflector that I want to buy. Little did I know that I would learn how to wash a 2020 Venture. I think a better title for this video should be, How to wash a 2020 Venture and install a Weather tech defector all in one day.

Yes, I should have done a lot more trimming. They will improve over time. Thank you for the feedback.
