Mercedes Sprinter W901/902/903/904/905 1995–2006 Hood Deflector 2000-2006 (EuroCap)

Description

EuroCap hood deflector (“bug shield”) — a black polycarbonate trim for the front edge of the hood of Mercedes Sprinter W901–W905 2000–2006, i.e. the “old” Sprinter after the 2000 update (including 903). It reduces the risk of chips from small stones and diverts part of the airflow with insects away from the windshield; the kit includes the deflector and a mounting kit.

Which Mercedes Sprinter the deflector fits

The deflector is made for the Sprinter 2000–2006 hood. For early vehicles 1995–2000, the hood and front end shape is different, and a separate product is needed for them. 2006 is a transitional year: that year both the old body 901–905 and the new 906 were produced, so for 2006 vehicles compare the front end with the product photo.

The designations 208, 313, 316, or 413 are engine and weight modifications, not the body: use the production year and the front end shape as your guide.

Material and комплектation

• manufacturer — EuroCap, Turkey;
• material — polycarbonate;
• color — black;
• installation type — clips or screws;
• in the kit — hood deflector and a mounting kit.

A transparent protective film is tightly applied to the deflector. It may have scratches from transportation, but under the film the surface is new — it is removed after installation.

How to install the bug shield on a Sprinter hood

You don’t need to glue the deflector: it is attached with clips or screws from the mounting kit. The job is usually done on your own.

1. wash and dry the front edge of the hood so that no sand remains under the fasteners;
2. attach the fasteners to the deflector according to the instructions included in the kit;
3. position the deflector centered on the hood and secure it;
4. check that the hood closes freely and remove the protective film.

After the first few hundred kilometers, it’s worth making sure the fasteners are holding tight.

How to care for the hood deflector

The deflector is washed together with the car using car shampoo and a soft sponge. Abrasive pastes and stiff brushes leave dull marks on polycarbonate, so it’s better not to use them. At a touchless car wash, do not aim the jet at close range into the mounting points, and in winter sweep snow off the hood carefully without prying up the edge of the trim. The deflector does not provide full protection from chips — it reduces their risk on the front edge of the hood.
