Hey guys, John here with RealTruck.com.
I'm gonna show you how to install the WeatherTech
Bug Shield onto this 2015 Chevy Silverado.
Okay guys, you can see we've got our WeatherTech
Bug Shield out of the box.
It comes with everything you need to get it
installed onto your truck.
Comes with, of course, the bug shield, which
is molded in this nice, sleek, stylish design.
Gives a nice OE kind of fit to your truck,
and really enhances your truck's style.
It's also made out of an aerospace composition,
which means it's gonna be very durable.
You're not gonna have to worry about this
thing getting busted up going down the road,
rocks, bugs hitting it.
It's designed to take that so they fly away
from your truck and not at your truck.
So, you have your bug shield, you have your
alcohol pads, your paint protectors, your
clips, and also your bump stops and screws
to attach your clips.
So there's only one thing left to do at this
point guys, and that's get this bug shield
on that truck.
One of the really nice things about this bug
shield is that it's a nice, no drill install
type of bug shield.
The only thing you need to actually install
is a Phillips screwdriver and a few minutes
of your time.
So what we're gonna do is we're gonna go ahead
and attach our clips to the bug shield.
And one of the other really neat things I
should point out before we attach these clips
to this bug shield is the fact that you can
either use these clips and attach the bug
shield, or you also have a tape on.
So if you don't have any way to attach the
clips, you can also tape these on as well.
So, let's put the clips onto the shield, and
get that ready to go.
Okay, what we're gonna do is to prep the truck.
We're gonna take our alcohol prep pad and
we're just gonna wipe down the whole front
of the truck, And then we're gonna take our
bug shield and we're actually gonna just set
it up here on the hood to get an idea of where
it's going to be going.
And so that way we can mark for our paint
protectors.
And we're just gonna use a grease pencil of
sorts and that allows for marking.
And then this marking actually can rub right
off so that this doesn't mark up the truck
or stay on there or anything.
So once we have that done, then what we're
gonna do is we're gonna grab our paint protectors,
and we're gonna put one on each side of the
truck.
So this is just a clear adhesive type of thing
that you're just put on here that protects
the paint so that way when you put the clip
on here it doesn't scratch it.
And since it's clear, it doesn't stand out
on your truck or anything like that, so that's
good.
And then, the next thing we're gonna do is
we're going to go ahead and peel back a couple
inches of our tape.
Okay, then we're going to go ahead and take
our bug shield and install it onto our truck.
What we're gonna do then is just set it up
on here where it's gonna go.
Push the clips on.
And if you did it right, you should be on
your paint protector strip.
And once that's done you can bring this down.
Okay, once you have your bug shield in place,
then what we're gonna do is we're gonna go
ahead and get a hold of that tape that we
peeled loose, make sure this is set we're
we want it to set and pull that tape off.
Just kind of give it a little push down to
attach it to the hood securely.
Do the one on the other side the same way,
same thing.
And just kind of rub across it to make sure
that it's all in place nicely.
Then what we're gonna do is we're gonna take
our bump stops.
And what these bump stops are for, is obviously
they're to stop bump, but the bump we're talking
about in particular is on our bug shield.
So that way this piece here doesn't slap the
hood and the fender and mess up your paint.
So we're just gonna put these right in behind
there, and then this will hit those and stop
it from slamming against your hood.
And we'll do the same thing for the other
side.
Okay guys, there you have it.
That's how quick, simple, and easy it is to
install this WeatherTech Bug Shield onto your
truck.
So, remember until next time, happy motoring.
