Western 81989 – WideOut XL Rubber Snow Deflector Kit – 8’6″-11′

The genuine Western 81989 Deflector Kit serves as a high-durability weather shield engineered to mount along the upper top lip of Western WideOut™ XL expanding winged snowplows. Fabricated from premium, heavy-duty blended rubber, this flexible deflector rolls and channels flying powder forward and down, away from the truck’s engine bay and front windshield. Consequently, commercial fleet operators install this authentic factory deflector package on 8-foot-6-inch to 11-foot WideOut XL multi-width plows to ensure clear sightlines during high-speed highway clearing or heavy municipal stacking routes.

This comprehensive factory-authorized package provides a massive, flexible rubber belt alongside specialized rigid steel backup hold-down bars and a full factory hardware bag. The steel hold-down strips clamp the rubber belt evenly across the top frame edge of the main moldboard and wing sections to prevent tearing or wrinkling under the immense aerodynamic forces experienced during heavy-volume commercial plowing. Because it is an authentic OEM upgrade, it features factory-stamped holes that match original WideOut XL wing and moldboard tracking specifications, allowing shop mechanics to complete the bolt-on installation rapidly without custom field drilling or frame modification.

For professional snow plowing contractors and landscape supervisors, running a fresh, non-curled deflector system lowers engine radiator clogging from flying snow and eliminates blinding window spray. The premium synthetic rubber formulation resists structural tearing, ozone cracking, and chemical road salt exposure in sub-zero thermal environments. Integrating this authentic factory-engineered accessory preserves your equipment’s operational safety margins and keeps your trucks moving efficiently through intense blizzards.
