removing sunroof wind deflector

My '08 came w/ one.

Has anyone ever removed one? Is it easy to take off?

I removed mine last week, simple removal and I think it looks so much better without it.

Only thing, now I have to remove the ring the wind deflector left on the roof!

Just dirt and grime I think. Did a quick wash but you can still notice it.

i removed mine and the small dirt and rocks under the deflector caused small sratches in my paint.

Even after using rubbing compound and wax i was unable to remove the line from the deflector.

Its all good since i plan on painting my roof this coming year.
