Aeroskin Deflector Removal

[Jsb]

I would also comment... I have had my bronco for a year now... I got 2 stone chips the first month of ownership... one developed into a crack.. put the deflector on in ~month 2.. haven't had one since.

Very cool looking Dog!

I didn't love mine either, but I love it more than the chips in my windshield and front of the hood. Mine covered up a couple of hood nicks. If yours was installed by the PO, you may find some nicks when you remove it. I have had no issues since I installed it in August.

If working with isopropyl wear gloves. The alcohol will absorb through your skin. It’s not a good drunk, ask me how I know.

I wouldn't be surprised if you need to do some paint correction after. When I put mine on the adhesive promoter wipe or whatever it was made the paint cloudy and I had to use some polish on a few spots where I wiped it and the deflector didn't cover it. I've used the 3M tape with other things on other vehicles and never used whatever was on that wipe, it seemed pretty nasty.

Any one have experience or tips on removing the Aeroskin deflector? I bought mine with it already installed and don’t think i love the look.

Hi, I just removed mine and replaced last weekend, I strongly suggest using Hot water only in a bucket and micro fiber cloth. It will take time, remove using dental floss first, soak old adhesive attached to the paint over and over and scrub off with cloth. My faded some in California sun, so replaced, it has saved my windshield countless times

It did cause the painted bracket for the roof racks on the top of the windsheilds to flutter though, so I had to firm those up some.

How did you better secure these brackets? I noticed mine were loose but haven't looked into correcting it yet.

Appreciate the help. Thanks

Do as you will.. I don't have any tips on removal, but what i can say is the thought of putting a bug deflector on the front of my new bronco made my stomach turn, I've never liked them. And honestly thought the Aeroskin looked terrible on the hood. I gave it 3 months and decided if I didn't like it then i would remove it. Now i love it, I like the look even though i don't really even notice it anymore, But it keeps chips off my hood and a lot of bugs and rocks from hitting my windshield. I couldn't imagine not having it now.

Looks fine to me but to each their own. Good insurance against a cracked or broken windshield. But removal is what others posted, bare in mind that's serious stuff holding it on it won't be a walk in the park.

The only thing I didn't like about mine was the edge of the hood showing my Cactus Gray color below the deflector. I went to a local sign/wrap shop and they gave me a strip of satin black sign/vehicle wrap material. I cut it into a 1/2" strip and was able to wrap the front/bottom edge of the hood even after the Aeroskin deflector was installed. Easy, cheap (free) and removable/replaceable. It has been on there a year with no chips or peeling.

I can’t take the credit for the fix — see this post:
