can someone tell me what the part is called that sits just outside and forward of the sunroof and if possible where to get it or how to put it on.
its been missing from my 02 max gle since i bought it and theres a mark on the roof where it was.

I think you are refering to the Sunroof Wind Deflector and it isn't missing it is a dealer installed option so you did't buy it your local dealer will be able to get it for you I'm sure you can get it elsewhere I just don't know where

custommaxima.com has them
ebay has them
you'll be surprised how many there are out there
and blind people have installed them before

Part number 999D4-MP500 70.00 list price at the dealer. If they don't stock one they are a crappy parts dept. (Tell them that if they don't)

hmm try to clean it off if you can...i think the car looks better without that deflector thing.

Also, when I took mine off it actually made less noise than with it on.

I agree it does look better with it off. Much cleaner.... I took mine off the day I purchased my 01 from the dealer. Bought it a year old... After taking it off everyone knows of the "ring" it leaves on the paint... My pearl max had a nice black ring that I used to take off with Turtle Wax bug and tar remover and plenty of elbow grease(microfiber towel)...I also used Maguires Scratch removal after that to buff out the scratches and you could never tell it was there.
JJJ if there is not paint damage just leave it off unless you like the way it looks on...Make sure if you are going to put it back on that you put some black electrical tape or cushin around the two metal clips that hold it to the sunroof because the clips will also damage your paint/rust...
My deflector is in my garage collecting dust...

ya those shield things do make more noise...i notice when i had my windwo vent visor things they make more some whooshing swirling noise with the windows closed shut. but after i removed them there's no more noise hah
