wasnt expecting this last night. i was closing my sunroof and it stopped half way. i opened it back up, and the black "air dam" that pops up when you open the sunroof is broken by the passenger side hinge point. are these replaceable, and where can i get a replacement if it is?

Theres supposed to be a dam that pops up? Any pics?

I think previous owners and had problems with the sunroof on my car, never seemd rright since ive had it with a lot of rattling, etc. Thinking it has been replaced before. Im gonna keep an eye on this thread.

I have a 00 ssei and took mine off when it broke.It opens and shuts fine without it.

Mine was broken when I bought my car. Been like that for years. I honestly think its quieter with the deflector held down anyways (in other cars).

AFAIK, the only way to fix the problem is to drop the headliner and completely remove the sunroof track. maybe even have to replace the entire thing.

I take mine off regularly to clean the bugs and stuff off. Gentle handling is all that's required. Should be able to find one easily enough. If nobody on the forum has one you could definitely get one at the dealer (although it would likely be expensive).

I had the same problem on my 2000 SSEi and went to gmpartsdirect.com and ordered one that was easy to install. They delivered the part promptly and I was very satisfied. Good luck.

Mine broke on the drivers side a few month back while I was closing it. & I havnt opened the sunroof ever since. Guess Ill rip the piece off when I get home & have a sunroof again.

yeah, i wouldn't mind just removing it if i can and the sunroof operates normally. it will just be a bit windier, but i like that.

I didnt notice much diff with it on or off.I dont think it did much with it.

woot! that was easy. it just clipped off after i unhooked it from the front part of the roof. there is a definite low freq. hum from the wind on the open sunroof now at mid speed. i might try to get a replacement, its annoying.

Crack your rear windows and the droning subsides

if you want a breeze, adjust the right rear window. Do the left rear if you don't, if you have a passenger they will get the breeze. Leave the fronts up and don't do both rears at the same time. OK, try it once to experience it, then don't do it again

D'oh. didnt even think about that. dur. thanks.

*dang*, its still doing it. time for a junkyard search. gm parts direct has it at $42 bucks
