Default Sunroof Wind Deflector - Not Avail From Toyota

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!

Loon

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...

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.
