Wind noise with sunroof open
#11
The pivot point that locates the left side arm for the wind deflector broke this morning. The part in held in place with two small screws. Unfortunately, it is not a replacement item, according to Chevy. The entire frame assembly is around $300 and another $560 for a dealer install. Looks like either a salvage yard trip or a switch to a plastic deflector.

In was at the dealers at lunch today. This doesn't mean that the person at the counter knew what she was talking about. She printed out a breakdown of the sunroof and said that since the bracket wasn't pictured seperately, it wasn't available. I guess I could try another dealer.

jx3,
Thanks for the info. I'll head over to the dealers at lunch and order the part. Hope to get the same counter person who initially told me I had to order the entire frame![Big Grin](https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
Edit: Just got back from the Chevy dealer: $6.18 for the mounting bracket. The person at the parts counter told me that if a TSB is developed to replace a component on an assembly, the initial assembly drawings are not always updated to reflect the new replaceable component. This site, and jx3, just saved me $300. Thanks

cheap part, expensive labor
Each replacement part is $7 at my dealer, who suggests replacing both sides, both the broken one and the intact one. Apparently, the replacement runner is beefier than the original. However, it's four hours labor to remove the headliner and then rivet the replacement into place.
