997 cab wind deflector - how does it fold???
I picked up my car and it has the deflector. i know how to take it out, but folding it is a different matter. Owners manual just says to fold it, but it feels like its going to break and they are pricey to replace.
TIA.

I had the same experience when removing mine the first time.
Took it to a dealer service drive up, a mechanic came out and just briskly folded it.
Applying steady pressure wouldn’t unlatch it- and I feared cracking the hinge or shaft.
He sure made it look easy after examining it.
Better he broke it than me- but no charge and now it’s a non-issue.

Yes, the first time you do it is pretty nerve wracking. Check to see if there is a YouTube video on it.
Wow! $900 ?? Glad mine is in good working order!
