Cracked Sunroof Wind Deflector

I got my car with 80k mi already on it, and am guessing the deflector has been on since day one. It cracked, and I'm undecided as to leave it, replace it, or remove it and try to work out the marks (which according to this thread, I shouldn't do because the marks won't come out of the roof.

I don't mind the look, but don't really notice any functionality (sp?) so I don't really want to pay however much a new one is .. for some reason I think it's like $119.

Mine was craked when I got it. I ended up replacing it. I got mine from Dave B. or you can try http://www.courtesyparts.com/Merchan...de=999D4-SDA33. Dave told me that they make them better now and the original ones were junk.

I just saw mine broke in the same spot two days ago. It was fine before the winter. Damn northeast cold weather. I am just leaving mine right now as i can't afford another one and I really don't care much about it. Right now i am more concerned about trying to get this back half of my exhaust on. Driving around withought a muffler sux.
