    I never liked the looks of them and thought it would make scrubbing the hood hard. Getting old scrubbing bugs off too though. Do they work?

    Yea they help a lot especially in places like Fla and TX. I didnt like them at first but my co-driver said Id be surprised how much they help so I put one on it and he was right- I was surprised.

    My truck has a bug screen behind the grill and whenever it comes time for a wash the guys open up the hood and pressure wash it from the inside out

    Oh I thought you were talking about the one that sits on top of the hood to knock bugs off the windshield. Sorry. The one on the radiator does good as well, keeps it from getting clogged with bugs.

    I guess I meant one mounted on the hood to cut down on bugs on the windshield
