Sunroof Deflector Installation

Is the standard Benevento Sunroof Deflector easy to install? What does it clip onto? I'm hoping it'll cut down the wind noise that occurs when my sunroof is CLOSED.

Thanks

There are two metal clips that hook on to the inside edge of the sunroof. I purchased a visor last year but have yet to get it installed due to difficulty getting both sides to hug to the roof. I quit trying to install it due to summer heat, and plan to resume trying now that the weather is a bit cooler. So as far as the last part of the question -- I can't answer that, but l don't hear any wind noise when the roof is closed.

I installed one last week it was pretty simple, It really cuts down the noise when it is open. Just something I did to make the installation easier. The fabric deflecter gets in the way, instead of taking it off I got a black locktite and threaded it thru the brackets and tightened it so that it doesn't pop up when opening the sunroof. We had some rain this week and no leaks.

I had wind noise when the roof was closed too. Fixed under warranty. It seems there is an adjustment to pull down the front of the glass. Its supposed to be slightly below the body and mine was installed high. Place a ruler over the lip of the glass and it should only touch the body and not the edge of the glass frame. If its above, ask them to adjust it.
