The Australian made OEM one I have is attached with 4 as well but secured underneath. It relies on a strip of clear bra on the top

Thats where the metal clips are located for anchoring. They are actually pretty solid, holds the shield very tight

I don't like such a fastener system. it is not reliable and these retainers fly off

@ArtemTR

I can't speak for others but mine has been on there solidly for 5 years now.

Any idea if the hood protector is still available anywhere? I have a 17 GX460 and I've tried almost every site suggested on this thread.

Does the Prado one from 2017 fit a 2017 GX460?

Time flies! I've had mine on for about the same time, it's still solid as well.

Did you order this for me or was that just the Kaon table (which is still solid and comes in handy)?

@msgs350 Yeah.. I ordered two of the hood deflectors from Germany. One was for you. Time has flown.. I think it was late ‘18 or really early ‘19. ..in addition to the Kaon table.

KAON brand was basically unknown to most in US in those days.

Hello everyone,
Long time reader...
So what is the overall consensus on where to get the hood deflector?
I have 2023 gx460 and as far as I researched:
1. PZ451-J8530ZA is unavailable
2. OMAC is unavailable
3. EGR is unavailable
4. WeatherTech is not producing hood deflectors for gx460
5. The only option is random deflectors on ebay/etsy but I kind of would prefer the original one

Any pointers to order in the US?

Bug Deflectors seem to have gone the way of the 90's ...
