Just wondering, anyone who has the Lund SS unit, do you have the little squashing rubber grommets that go in your existing holes in your hood? Do you have a problem with them popping out? I opened my hood the other day and it was only held on by ONE grommet plug! I'd love to find a better way to mount this thing. I've remounted it and looked again this morning - two have popped out again (the ones on the ends).
I went to Lowe's and got a little bit larger well nuts than it came with. I haven't had a problem since.

Also went to Lowe's and got bigger well nuts no problems, but yeah she was a pin to install...to me longer to the bug shield than my exhaust!

Mine is a lund as well and I am beginning to get small rust spots on the front of it. They wipe off if I rub them hard while washing it. It has only been on my truck for maybe a month and a half. On top of that, since I put it on I have gotten 3 rock chips on my windshield. The first one sucked but three all in a short amount of time seems odd. When I am driving and it is raining I notice that the shield flicks water on my windshield. I think it is doing the same with rocks.

I've noticed this same phenomenon. I know this probably sounds dumb, but my comprehensive insurance covers broken windshields, but not repainting hoods for dozens of little rock chips... I should know - I put SIX windshields in my Ferd!
