Need information regarding sun/moonroof wind deflectors.
I very recently purchased an acrylic sun/moon roof wind deflector to attach to the roof of my HHR via 3M automotive tape just forward of my factory HHR 32 1/2” width sun/moon roof. RealTruck.com, CARiD.com and several other online automotive retailers offer the same four brands of deflectors so I chose the popular AVS Classic in the appropriate 33” length. The problem is that the wind deflectors are molded flat and stiff/ridged and the HHR’s roof is very rounded/domed, right side to left side, so their’s no way the wind deflector’s ends would stay stuck down and I’ve gotten the impression that all of the commonly sold wind deflectors are made that way. Has anyone found a wind deflector that works well on a HHR? I’ve never seen a picture of an HHR with one on.

Sunroof wind deflector.
Ok, thank you. I guess the photo is of a Chrysler PT Cruiser. I would need to know where/how to obtain one.

Yes, the factory sun/moon roof fabric wind deflector makes wind noise and vibrates.
