| Post subject: | Do KK sunroof Air Deflectors Work Well? |
My KK is the first vehicle I've had with a sunroof. I like it but the air buffeting can be loud and annoying sometimes. I've considered getting the air deflector for the sunroof (see http://www.mopar-accessories.com/en-US/82210699AB/partinfo.aspx?DivisionId=1&Year=2008&VehicleId=24&CategoryId=1003&pc=35649&GroupId=2023&SubGroupId=3279) but I don't know if this works very well. It isn't cheap so I don't want to buy one if it is a waste of money. I tried to find this answer with a search but everything seemed to be about how to deal with air buffeting if you don't have the deflector (openning various combinations of other windows). |

Bump. So does the lack of response mean nobody has one of these? |

I don't have one on my ride. I find the stock pop-up deflector works well. I don't get much, if any, buffeting, unless I pull down the pop-up deflector by hand. Which I have been known to do just to bug the kids.  After I lock out their window controls.  Is your pop-up deflector not working properly? |

I don't know if the pop up deflector is working right. I do get buffeting when I open the sunroof (unless I just pop up the rear of it). It is fairly loud but not unbearable. I'm finding that I am avoiding openning it wide open and I'm just popping it up because that is a lot quiter. As for the Mopar version or an aftermarket one like AVS, I really don't care which one. If really they work to make things quiter, I'll look for the least expensive quality option. I already have an AVS bug deflector and that is fine so I'd be happy to go with AVS again. |

Give this a try and see what happens. Open the sunroof all the way (going 45+) and then reach up with your right hand and pull down the stock pop-up deflector. You should notice a very distinct difference. When mine is open there is wind noise caused by the pop-up, but when you pull it down... Man it feels like your ears are going pop, pop, pop, pop, pop... |

Thanks, I'll give it a try.
