Default Looking for a sunroof part

I am looking for the drivers side hinge part of the pop up air deflector for my V1. The big U shaped deflector has little "arms" at the back that connect it to the sunroof assembly, and finding this part is proving to be a huge hassle. Any ideas? The dealership sells the whole sunroof assembly, and a quick look around the web gives the same result. I am trying to keep from adding one of those aftermarket air deflectors if at all possible. I use my sunroof daily, but without that pop up deflector there is a "air hammer" effect that is just deafaning at speed.

Thanks

Tell me more about this "air hammer" sound. Sometimes when I'm riding on the interstate I reach up and push the air deflector down with my hand and it seems to cut down on the wind noise coming from the sunroof being open. I've thought about just taking it off.

I'll try Luke, but the part is riveted on to the frame so i am not being optimistic about it being available separately.

VforMe, at certain speeds, even with the windows down the upholstered sliding back thing under the sunroof vibrates horribly. And there is a wind buffeting you don't get with the pop up thing in place.

I drive with the roof open and windows down all the time, so this is somewhat of a bummer.
