| Description of the problem | The anchor that holds the sunroof deflector in place separated where it was bonded and gets in the way when the sunroof tries to close. The deflector partially detached in the front, and interferes with the glass of the sunroof when closing. This happened while driving down the highway. I had to pull over to the side of the road and stand outside the vehicle while another person closed the sunroof. We needed two people to get the sunroof closed. |
