Sunroof Maintenance

Hi all,

Does anyone on here clean off their wind deflector on their sunroof? I opened mine today, and noticed a lot of bug guts, etc. I imagine that it can't hurt to clean it, but if not, will it cause clogging issues with the drain holes? Aside from the rattling noise it creates, I don't really see what the big purpose of the thing is anyway.

Just curious.

Thanks!

Nah, you can wipe the inside of the sunroof and wind deflector with a damp cloth or some waterless car wash. Wipe it around the front sunroof seal is helpful too. Be careful, as I’ve seen post were the seal on the sunroof was flimsy and could pull away from the glass panel.

Mine stays super clean, as I never open it and only use the vent feature occasionally. Personally I wish it was just a solid roof, as the Texas summers you will never open it or the sunshade without frying yourself, nor in the cold snowy winters in the Mountains. Omit the sunroof in the 1st place and put on better brakes and auto adjustable suspension right from the factory. Dang, just add some led lights in the headliner and that would be amazing at night.
