Post MPC Bug Shield

I had an MPC wrap bug shield put on my truck. I like the fact that there were no holes drilled. I don't really like those little clear stick-on bumps, but they don't show. It seems the shield is a little loose especially on the ends. I have seen no signs of wear from friction, though. Is this normal, or should the thing be on so tight that nothing will move?

I have the Ford bug guard. It sounds similar to yours except those stick on bumps are black.

I didn't put them on and I had noticed the shield would shake a lot. I ended up using some 3/8 inch think weatherstripping. I cut a few inches and stuck it to the shield. This reduced the gap I had and now it doesn't move.

I don't notice it because the weatherstrip is black and the deflector is smoke.

BTW, my truck is white.
