EGR SUP571 Hood Deflector

Product Information

The SUP571 is a Hood Deflector designed for use on vehicles. It helps to deflect wind, bugs, and debris away from the hood of the vehicle, protecting it from potential damage. The Hood Deflector is made in the USA and comes with installation instructions.

Product Usage Instructions

1. Clean the hood of the vehicle using soap and water. Dry thoroughly.
2. Trial fit the Hood Deflector centrally onto the hood. Use a non-permanent marker to mark the positions of the two center slots and the four outer holes in the Hood Deflector.
3. Remove the Hood Deflector and clean the hood lip using a clean dry cloth and soap and water.
4. Adhere to the medium abrasive-resistant tape strips over the hood lip. Apply the tape so that approximately half of each strip is adhered to the top side and half is adhered to the underside of the hood.
5. Install the two Fixed Clips by aligning them with the previously marked holes in the hood. Insert the Screw Plugs through the rectangular holes of the Fixed Clips into the hood. While pushing the Screw Plug down against the Fixed Clip, insert the two self-tapping screws into the Screw Plugs. Put the hood seal back into position.
6. Loosely secure the Hood Deflector to the top of the Fixed Clips using fiber washers and small screws. Ensure that the Hood Deflector is centralized on the hood, then fully tighten the screws.
7. Clean the hood lip again using soap and water. Adhere to the medium abrasive-resistant tape strips over the hood lip as done in step 4.
8. Slide the four metal Push-on clips over the abrasive-resistant tape on the hood edge at the four previously marked outer positions.
9. Secure the Hood Deflector further by installing the Metal Wing Clips using fiber washers and small screws.
10. Clean the top of the hood underneath each yellow location sticker using the alcohol wipe provided.
11. Allow the hood to dry and then peel the adhesive backing from the bumps. Adhere the six bumps to the hood directly underneath each sticker as shown in the image.
12. Peel off and discard the six yellow bumps on location stickers when complete.

Note: It is important to ensure that the clips rest over the abrasive- resistant tape and do not come in contact with the hood paintwork to avoid permanent paint damage. No power tools are required for the installation process.
Cleaning Notes: To clean the Hood Deflector and hood, use soap and water. Wipe off any residue with a dry clean cloth. The Hood Deflector should be cleaned periodically to maintain its appearance and functionality.

Tools Required

Cleaning Notes

• Spray with a firm water spray to remove any loose dirt.
• Wash with water, detergent, and a soft cloth or sponge.
• Do not use petroleum-based solvents or abrasives.

INSTALLATION

1. Wash the hood with a mild soap and water solution, then dry thoroughly. Open the hood. Trial fit the Hood Deflector centrally onto the hood. With a non-permanent marker, mark the positions of the two center slots in the Hood Deflector and where they correspond with the hood and the rivets on the underside of the hood. Mark the positions of the four outer holes in the Hood Deflector and where they correspond with the hood. Remove the Hood Deflector.
2. Clean the two noted areas with an alcohol prep pad provided. Wipe off any residue with a dry clean cloth. Adhere to the medium abrasive-resistant tape strips over the hood lip. Apply tape so approximately half of each strip is adhered to the top side and half is adhered to the underside of the hood.
3. At the previously noted scrivet locations carefully remove the scrivets attaching the hood seal and discard.
4. Fit the nut insert into the square hole on top of the two Fixed Clip. Install the two Fixed Clips by aligning them with the previously noted holes in the hood. Insert the Screw Plugs through the rectangular holes of the Fixed Clips into the hood. While pushing the Screw Plug down against the Fixed Clip insert the two self-tapping screws into the Screw Plugs. Put the hood seal back into position.
   • IMPORTANT: Ensure the clips rest over the abrasive-resistant tape and do not come in contact with hood paintwork. Failure to do this may result in permanent paint damage.
   • IMPORTANT: Thumb pressure must be maintained on the Fixed Clips to prevent the screw plug from rotating.
5. Fit the Hood Deflector centrally onto the hood and loosely secure it to the top of the Fixed Clips using fiber washers and small screws. Do not fully tighten yet. Ensure the Hood Deflector is centralized on the hood then fully tighten screws.
6. Clean the four noted areas on the hood with the alcohol prep pad provided. Wipe off any residue with a dry clean cloth. Adhere to the medium abrasive-resistant tape strips over the hood lip. Apply tape so approximately half of each strip is adhered to the topside and half is adhered to the underside of the hood.
7. Fit the nut insert into the square hole of the Push-on clip. Slide the four metal Push-on clips over the abrasive-resistant tape on the hood edge at the four previously noted outer positions.
   • IMPORTANT: Ensure the clips rest over the abrasive-resistant tape and do not come in contact with hood paintwork. Failure to do this may result in permanent paint damage.
8. Firmly secure the Hood Deflector to the top of the Metal Wing Clips using fiber washers and small screws.
9. Note the six bumpon positions which are indicated by the yellow bumpon location stickers on the top of the hood deflector. Clean the top of the hood with the alcohol wipe directly underneath each yellow location sticker. Allow to dry and peel the adhesive backing from the bumpons and adhere the six bumpons to the hood directly underneath each sticker as shown in the image. Peel off and discard the six yellow bumps on location stickers when complete.
   • TO REMOVE: Reverse the above procedures.
