You don't see many windscreen stone deflectors these days. I don't use one, and they are a pain in the afternoon sun from memory of when I did drive a car with one, many years ago.
Just make sure you have windscreen replacement coverage on your insurance.

Brian Hi, I don't bother with the windscreen & rely on the laminate. Do use a rear window protector though, bought online from Obies Outback in Vic. Some just use beer cartons or Perspex from sign writers etc.

Wouldn't that mess up your hair while you were driving?

We're on the wallaby for about 9 months every year and do heaps of good roads & bad roads
I find that I get a few small glass chips every journey, and maybe every 2 - 3 yrs I get a beauty smacking into the glass ... and then I get the windscreen changed
I find the b&^%$#@s who smash windscreens are the 4wd fellas coming towards me, who knowing that their 4wd has super-human road holding abilities swing 2 wheels off the bitumen and they whiz past at 100+km/h - often the tinny boat they are towing is bouncing around wildly also as it is half-off the bitumen too
I on the other hand slow the motorhome down to 40km/h or less and often pull completely off the narrow bitumen road
There was also one time when I was on new roadworks and a B-Double coming towards me, doing the 60km/h of the roadworks, sprayed me with thousands of those tiny bits they put down onto fresh bitumen - and they splattered the windscreen badly
These tiny crushed stuff would also have come thru any metal stone guard if I would have had one in place
Have never used a protector, as previously said have cover to have 1 new windscreen a year if needed.
What I do have, is one of those Perspex Bug Deflectors on the front of the bonnet and am certain it works, do not get nearly as many insects hit the windscreen as without it.
I don't use any windscreen protection and at least once a year I have to replace a front or back window but they have all been on the bitumen usually a truck coming the otherway with 2 wheels on the dirt. I am looking for a good temp window I can chuck on If I am out in the middle of nowhere.
