Hi, I just bought a new sunroof deflector, but REALLY what I NEEDED was the ends that screw to it. The passenger side is broken on my old one, and the drivers side is nicely cracked. Of course, the new deflector did't come with these ends, BUT it's not warped like my old one either

Does anyone know where I can find these??

ok the parts he is speaking of is the deflector hinges, go to the dealer or www.performanceproducts.com

they have 2 bolts, and nuts that go onto either end of the deflector, they crack and break with age

You can fix them with a little superglue. I did that to mine and it worked, but it was warped and caused the sunroof to leak grrrrrrrr. I have an aftermarket one that the PO put on there so i just took mine out.

Nothing like no leaks and more structural integrity.
