Bug Banner

Curious if anyone out there has this, or know someone that has one. Video on website shows it deploys like a flag on both sides, no ladders needed.

Looks like a interesting idea to prevent squashed bugs on the cap.

What do you think of this idea? Considering for travel and storage to prevent sun damage as well.

Thanks!

Sorry, I don't have one and can not attest to it, but thanks for sharing this. My concern was it flapping around when moving, but after reviewing the videos on their website, it looks very solid. I may have to order one and try it out.

I emailed them yesterday about their warranty.....only 30 days on the whole thing. Not very impressive, and they cost $299. The idea looks good.

Jury is still out.

There is a thread on the forum about this as well that you may want to search. It included a video as well from someone who is using it.

It seems to come up with almost the exact same worded post and response each time. Curious. I'll respond the same. Ugly and pointless. A solution waiting for a non existent problem.

I wonder what it does for your mpg with a large fabric surface like that. It seems to me off-hand that its better to have a smooth surface to allow the wind to flow easier.

I just keep the front cap waxed good and the bugs pretty much wash right off. I also find that thing to be ugly.

Nu Finish and a damp drier sheet works really well
