Hear in Montana they sand/gravel and spray de-icer to reduce the number of winter accidents. The down side de-icer is corrosive, sand and gravel sand blasts the body and glass exposing raw metal to the corrosive de-icer.
The majority of rock strikes come from being passed by faster traffic.
So far this winters and I need a new windshield. 4 rock spider cracks and the windshield is pitted badly enough that my view is now hazy and wipers are lacking in there proformance..
1)How would a bug catcher effect aero? Positive or negative?
The advertised function is to redirect the air flow above the windshield, reducing the number of bugs and sand/gravel that hit the windshield. If it proforms as advertised it should smooth my brick shape some what.
2)shape of bug catcher? The old school flat pice of plexiglass is not my intention, more like a 2nd generation contured.
.
3)Any negative Cd should be less than a new windshield annually.
Any suggestions or alternatives are welcome
