Don't even need to see the pics. I don't like the roof deflector and took mine off. I like the rear window one even less. Ditch them both.

Just unscrew it and the clips holding it in place will loosen so you can remove it. Be warned, if you had it on since you bought the car, the paint will be damaged where you remove it and you will see a 'double line' along where the rubber stripping met the paint.

mine came with my car, and the car is like 1.5 years old. i can see that the vent visor has been weathered because my car is always outside. is there anyway to prevent that stuff with the paint from happening?

Nope, damage is already done. It is from the lousy deflector rubber strip rubbing away at the paint.

I had my deflector on for over a year and took it off to clean it and wax underneath it. There was a line but it came right out with some paint cleanser. I wouldn't say it damages your paint.

ditch the rear window deflector, AS FAR AS THE SUNROOF WIND DEFLECTOR, I DON'T HAVE ONE ON MINE. I think your car looks good without the cheap abs plastic.....your ride is low, especially with the ground effects, so by having something on your roof and rear window does screw up the lines of the car.....

I did ditch the rear window... I did one better. I got rid of the whole car in the wreck I had a few weeks ago
