We went to our dealer looking for a wind deflector yesterday and were told that, for vehicles with the navigation system, the moonroof wind deflector was not an option.
HUH????
What could one thing possibly have to do with the other? The only thing I was able to think of is that maybe the antenna for the nav system is in the leading edge of the moonroof. I looked and there is a ridge that I suppose COULD be where the GPS antenna is located.
Here's the thing. The PS moonroof and the nav system come as a bundle - you can't get one without the other (at least on the '07). So, if they actually sell a moonroof deflector you can't use it and if you can use it, you don't have a moonroof, so you don't need it.
So am I missing something or is this really and brain dead as it seems?

The GPS antenna was mounted behind the Nav Sys on the '05 & '06, and I don't think they changed it on the '07 models. More than likely the moonroof and Nav sys was just an assembly line requirement and has nothing to do with each other.
