Not difficult to repair with some epoxy or similar.

I'll probably get a new one in time, right now I just left the deflector down. I'm going to refinish the sunroof and get some material and redo the sunroof headliner first.

Took me months to finally get that thing out in my first Porsche.

It was out all day yesterday in this awesome NC weather.

I plan to go manual in the future but I figure since my sunroof works I'll ride it out till she breaks. I like the tilt action when its summer and I'm not in the car as well as if its lightly raining.
