OOOOPS I broke that sunroof wind deflector.

That thing that pops up when the roof slides back. I broke on of the plastic pieces on the side that make it popup. now it just lays there and lets the wind buffeting get bad.

it looks like the plastic piece is riveted in the body.

is this replaceable or is there a fix?

I doubt they sell those piece.....unless you wanna buy the whole assembly.
Most likely you have to live with it or fabricate something...

@Bailey-Hoe! His talking about the deflector that pops ups...

Hmm..strange how the hell did you break it?

pics are worth 1000 words. a good pic is worth 10,000.

I thought it wasnt going up as easily as it was supposed too, so like a dumba$$ I pulled up on it and it snapped.

a cast/resin molded plastic piece? I haven;t looked at mine but here's how you fix stuff like that when you can;t get parts, and they are thick enough to be centerdrilled.

if thick enough, drop a metal slug/dowel in it as reinforcement in shear and glue it together with 12 hour epoxy or JB weld.

ok, looked at mine and depending on how you broke it and where, you might be talking about the retaining pin, or the actual flexible plastic piece.

i'd get one from a junk sunroof, drill out the rivet, and re-rivet it into place.

I will stop by the junk yard today and see what they got.

I know this is old but, did you ever get it fixed? Both of mine broke (wtf!?) by themselves, without my assistance. Now when I open my moon roof, the air deflector goes up and I have to hold it down with my hand when I need to close the moon roof. Not a huge deal but annoying. I can try and JB weld it but I'm concerned on how long it will last with sun beating on it and the moon roof stressing it. I assume how they broke in the first place...

I did not find one at a junk yard... I was able to reattach the spring that holds the deflector on and it works fine now.

If re attaching that spring doesn't work I would remove it all together and get an aftermarket deflector for 40-50 at the parts store.
