Has anyone installed this wind deflector?

How did you do it?

Actually if this is like most of the dealer available wind deflectors it's quite a simple install, usually takes about 5 minutes or so to install. There usually are 2 small hooks that attatch to the deflector and then wrap under the sunroof opening to secure it to the roof. Should be a very simple and easy install.

One would think. Unless they they gave me the wrong one. It's flat and doesn't really doesn't want to curve to the roof.

Yup that's the right one. They are ALL like that and don't really fit without CAREFUL application of heat while cranking down on the screws. It won't look right but it will work right.
