So, on my last service call I stopped over at Parts to order the Sunroof Wind Deflector (per catalog, avail Summer 2006).

We looked through the accessory catalog, no deflector.

Checked the computer, no deflector.

It being a Saturday, not much else we can do, so Parts says they will call and order on Monday.

Monday afternoon, I get a call. Apparently Toyota is not making them, or so I am told the warehouse says..

Has anyone got different information, or any dealers out there who can get one of these? I love my sunroof, but it IS noisy when open on the highway.

Thanks!

I believe the noise can be reduced by just cracking one of the rear windows. If you try it,please post results..........Do not use hammer to crack it,,,,,just open it a crack...smile...

 

I hadn't thought of that! Makes sense though. Will try it on way home.

Still would like deflector tho

 

Theres also an issue with noise if you open the moonroof "all the way", beyond the normal auto-stop location. Toyota has programmed in a perfect place for it to stop, and reduces the noise somewhat. It is much louder at speed, if you open it further.

 

Check the following from a Toyota dealer (I just received body side moldings and rear/front mudflaps from them today for my blue ribbon metallic TCH).

Fredo, thanks..

I called them, they punched in the part number, and...

Not available.

They did suggest I check back in a few weeks, and I will.
