Here's my .02
Let's start at the beginning. Packaging arrived much like one would expect from the "no ducks given" service sector.

Hood spacing was 3/16" ( battery died in the calipers, excuse the primitive measuring devices).

Install is Barney enough, noticed contact with the paint at the bottom of the leading edge and added the supplied bumpers to the under side of the hood (just the two over the headlights. Center section doesn't have the clearance).

Next point of contact was the bug shield hitting the upper valence of the grill. I was able to adjust it so it barely cleared, but with the slight "wave" in both the valence and bug shield, contact is still likely. So, i added some clear Vinyl wrap to the back edge. Will most likly do the same with the leading edge of the hood, in the future. We'll see how it works out. All in all about 20 minutes of "hard" labor. No issues with the hood closing, i run the bump stops kind of high to help with rattles and such, so dropping it to close is normal for me. Hope this helps someone.

has anyone with the deflectors had issues with frequent cracks/chips in the windshield? in comparison to before installing it? i've went through 2 windshields in a month this winter in PA-both caused by road salt. already have concerns with paint chips on the hood and now the windshield. after reading this thread, i'm wondering if a deflector would help. thoughts?

I just put mine on, but doubt anything large enough to crack the windscreen would be affected by the change in the slip stream.

Can you post a side shot of the hood and fender with the hood closed? I like to see how far up the hood is from the fender. Mine may have had a mold issue. Mine was tight all the way across the grill. Thanks for the informative post.

It looks off in the pic, do to the angle and in truth the hood may be a "c hair" taller (feels it when i ran my hand over it). If it was noticeable, i would of added a fender shim.

Not sure if these are better. It's not perfect, but i don't think the body lines are any worse then factory tolerances on these station wagons.

Looking right above headlight I can see it's up a tad.. Looks far better than expected. You would have seen the edge of the hood how mine fit. I now know that it can fit. Thanks

Hello Everyone,
My 4Runner got into an accident, some front end damage and I have been trying to get the OEM Toyota hood deflector (PN: PT427-89100) to replace the one I had on my 4Runner, does anyone know if someplace has it in stock? I have search all over the internet and there seems that no one has it in stock. Is Toyota not making them anymore? It would be grateful if someone can provide any help in this.
