Unhappy Sunroof deflector broke

What’s up fellow 3rd gen owners so my hood flew on my 06 and my sunroof was open and it broke the sunroof deflector so it causes the sunroof not to close will get close to closing then just slide right back does this reflector come out? Can it be replaced? Lmk asap I use my sunroof daily and it would be a pain to have to stick a screw driver in the deflector to make it close

If it went in at the factory there's a way to remove it.
Find the free PDF manual download here to aid your effort. There is a whole procedure to follow which helps to avoid breaking components as you work.
Depending on color, the new (#12) sunshade is about $120 before shipping.

Good Luck!

I want to hear more about -"my hood flew on my 06." Are we talking about the hood of the engine? How did that happen?

It can be done from the outside of the car, per the Helms 'Sunshade Replacement'.

Yes! inquiring minds and all...

I'm thinking hood pins for the new hood.
