Can WeatherTech Bug Deflector # WT50152 for 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe Go Through Automatic Car Wash  

Question:

Helpful Expert Reply:

My contact at WeatherTech advised that in general it is best to avoid the fully automatic brush-type car washes that make contact with their bug deflectors. The nature of automated car wash facilities varies quite a bit (there are no-touch types, large rotary brush types and also the hanging-strip type) and so it is tough to make a blanket statement.

Their Bug Shield # WT50152 that fits your 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe can be installed in two ways, with either 3M automotive tape or under-the-hood fasteners. Its installation using the fasteners will naturally be stronger than when installed with tape.

WeatherTech suggested using the self-wash type of car wash or the good old fashioned hose-and-driveway technique to avoid the potential risk of damage.
