Default Sunroof wind deflector doesn't go down.

Have a 2000 c4. The one touch close will only go so far to close then stops. If you manually hold it down to close, the roof closes but the wind deflector middle piece folds up and sticks out. Is this a common occurrence? Is there a fix without replacing sunroof?

Same issue, appears to be a rather difficult DYI as a part needs to be replaced. I'm pretty **** about stuff like this but I just taped mine down and don't notice any difference just cruising.

What part is it that needs to be replaced? Is there any link that solves the issue? I'd prefer to not tape it if I can.

I stopped opening mine because of this. Pop up function is all I need and that works.
