Do you find this part needed for your vehicle?

what about the bugs above the deflector? that's why I never bought one...they would have to be in the line deflector right?

I think most bugs come in low. Usually because of the head lights. I installed a deflector after a trip to Az and it cut down on the amount of bugs on the windshield significantly.

There is no certain opinion on this point and you might here different stories. The idea behind bug deflectors is that by creating a stream of air upwards across the hood of your vehicle, the air will carry bugs past your windshield and protect it from being hit. Mounting a small, angled deflector on the front of your vehicle creates this airstream effect and sets up a defense against bug splatter. So it definitely should minimize the amount of bugs.
