Replied by mlines on topic Re:2019 Jimny Bonnet Guards
"Honest Martin Sales" here.
We have one fitted to Gerald the Jimny, which is why I imported the first batch.
We did it for two reasons, bonnet protection and looks. The slab front of the new Jimny is always going to attract wildlife and stones. It certainly protects the bonnet edge and holds up the Jimny looks compared to the local pimped up ford rangers.
However, I don't think I can claim any improvement for the windscreen. Ours is insect holocaust. The only car I have had that's worse was a ford galaxy which, despite the raked bonnet and windscreen, must have had an airflow pattern than fed flying insects straight onto the glass.
