Don't know if anyone else will encounter this, but at 40+ mph there is a "whistle" after installation. Maybe the Canadians like that, but I don't care for the extra noise, so I got out some tape & started taping off sections between the deflector edge & the hood to determine where the noise was coming from. After a little trial & error I discovered that the edge of the deflector from the Scion hood emblem to the edge of the headlights is the source.
Should be a simple fix. I've ordered some automotive weatherstripping, so I can remove the deflector add the weatherstripping under the "offending" edge & reinstall once the gap is sealed there should be no more "whistling".
In spite of this little aggravation I still love the way the deflector looks on the car & the noise should be simple to stop. Even if they only sell the deflector in Canada you'd think someone at Scion/Toyota would've figured this out & adjusted the deflector or included the weatherstripping or something.
