WTB: Hood Deflector for GD3

I purchased a Form Fit hood deflector a month and a half ago. I went through my first car wash (no touch car wash) since it was installed by Speedy Glass. I was going through the blower drying stage and the deflector blew off like it was held on with chewing gum. I inspected the installation and it looks like Speedy installed it properly. After looking at the design closer I see this product is made VERY poorly. The fasteners that are meant to hold the deflector to the mounts are very flimsy and not nearly strong enough. This item is very poor quality.

I notified Speedy Glass immediately and the manager had a look at it and was apologetic and told me he would do something for me like getting me a free replacement but he had to talk to Form Fit first. I left him my home number and my cell number. Later that evening there was a message on my phone from Speedy. The manager informed me that Form Fit will not warranty the deflector because I went through a car wash, and since Form Fit will not warranty it neither will Speedy. So I got ripped off for $115 for a deflector that lasted less than 90 days.

So to sum it up; Form Fit makes a lousy, poor quality product, Form Fit will search for any excuse to not honor a warranty, Don't get any work done at Speedy because they will not man-up and honor their warranty.

P.S. The bud deflector made very loud wind noise from day one, but I wasn't going to complain about that.

That's actually exactly what happened to me. I was in a hurry and ran through the automatic car wash, when I got to the dryer it took it right off. However, as soon as it happened, I remembered when i read the care instructions it warned not to go through automatic car washes with it installed. I'm guessing this is the reason, and also why they wouldn't warranty it for you. I had no other complaints about it and I loved the way it looked on the car so I'm still searching for a replacement. Thanks for the input though, I know that feeling of I threw my money away all too well!

I have one. I was taking mine off to clean my hood and one of the clips fell into my engine bay never to be found again. I have all of the parts except one clip. If you're trying to piece together a new one then this should be fine. Lmk
