Prevent stone chips and insect damage in style. This high-quality Crafter 17+ hood deflector protects your van’s hood from flying stones, dirt, salt, and insects, while giving it a rugged OEM+ look. The deflector is made of impact-resistant and UV-resistant ABS plastic, and its matte black texture ensures it blends perfectly with the original styling of the 2017+ VW Crafter and MAN TGE. Installation is simple and requires no drilling at all, thanks to the included double-sided tape or mounting kit. Whether you use your commercial vehicle daily for work, camper van conversions, or long trips across Europe, this hood protector is a smart investment in both protection and style.
The front of a delivery van takes a lot of abuse every day. Think of stone chips on the highway, insect remains in the summer, road salt in the winter, and dirt from construction sites or unpaved roads. The front of the hood is particularly susceptible to damage that can eventually lead to rust or dull spots in the paint. This Crafter / TGE '17+ hood deflector protects precisely that vulnerable part of the hood. Thanks to its clever design, airflow is directed upward, reducing the direct impact of dirt, small stones, and insects on the paint. In addition to protection, this hood guard instantly gives your Crafter or TGE a more rugged look that perfectly complements modern commercial vehicles, RVs, and adventure builds.
This hood protector was specially designed for the VW Crafter and MAN TGE models manufactured in 2017 or later. As a result, the hood deflector fits perfectly on the hood without a universal fit or unsightly gaps. The matte black textured finish provides a stylish OEM look, as if the deflector were factory-installed. Unlike cheap, universal bug shields, this version has a sleek and professional appearance. This makes it popular for both commercial vehicles and luxury camper conversions. The subtle texture of the ABS plastic also prevents scratches from becoming visible quickly and ensures it retains its appearance over the long term, even with intensive use or significant UV exposure.
The Kiedan Design hood deflector for the Crafter / TGE '17+ is made from high-quality ABS plastic. This material is known for its combination of flexibility, impact resistance, and durability. As a result, the deflector can withstand stone chips, temperature fluctuations, and the daily stresses of driving. In addition, the material is UV-resistant, preventing discoloration from sunlight. Cheaper hood guards can become brittle or turn gray over time, but this hood guard retains its deep matte black finish. Thanks to its sturdy construction, the hood deflector stays firmly in place, even during intensive use on highways or long vacation trips in a camper.
A major advantage of this Crafter / TGE '17+ bug shield is its easy installation. There’s no need to drill holes in the hood, so the original paint and bodywork remain completely intact. The hood deflector is attached using strong 3M tape or mounting adhesive. This ensures a secure and reliable attachment without the risk of rust forming from drill holes. Installation can be easily done at home with basic tools and takes relatively little time. For best results, it’s important to thoroughly degrease the hood beforehand so the tape can adhere properly. Thanks to the vehicle-specific fit, you can easily position the deflector in the right spot.
Whether you’re on the road every day for work or use your Crafter/TGE as a camper: a hood deflector is a practical upgrade that adds both protection and style. Commercial drivers benefit from reduced stone chips and a neater appearance for their vehicle, while camper builders often opt for the extra rugged look that’s popular in North America. There, hood protectors and bonnet guards have been a standard upgrade on large vans and pickups for years. In the Netherlands and Belgium, too, you’re seeing this trend more and more on VW Crafter camper vans, MAN TGE commercial vehicles, and off-grid builds. Combine this hood protector, for example, with a black grille, side bars, windshields, or LED lighting for a complete styling look.
While driving, the front of the hood constantly catches small stones, sand, road salt, and insects. This often causes minor damage to the paint, especially on highways. Although such damage may seem minor at first, it can eventually lead to corrosion or rust. This Crafter / TGE '17+ hood deflector helps significantly reduce the impact of dirt and stone chips. In addition, the hood protector offers extra protection against UV rays, helping the paint finish stay looking good longer. This is a major advantage, especially for heavily used commercial vehicles or RVs that spend a lot of time outdoors. A hood protector is therefore not just a styling accessory, but also a practical investment in maintaining your vehicle.
