Moon roof air deflector

Moon roof air deflector
I did a search and only found one old thread on this. On the highway with the moon roof open, I find my GX to be pretty noisey and am wondering what people's experience with the external air deflector is. With the height of the GX, I don't think the deflector would have that much impact on the looks of the vehicle. I'm wondering if anyone has added one, did it substantially cut down on the noise? I like driving with the top open, just don't like blasting the radio in order to hear it.
Love this truck.
Thanks in advance.

I had the moon roof deflector on for a while. It definitely cuts down on wind noise substantially with the moon roof open. But I always felt like it INCREASED some wind noise with the roof closed. So it was a tradeoff. I bought it from Sewell Lexus (lexus-parts.com). But be careful, where the metal clips attached, it scratched the paint on the edge of the roof opening. I had it screwed down securely, so I don't think it was rubbing.

As a little FYI you might find interesting. If you didn't already notice, at a certain speed (52 MPH I think ) the wind deflector raises a little to deflect more air. As for the wind noise, I do agree it is a little bit loud. They could have done a little better with that I think. Considdering how amazingly quiet the SC is with the top down at like 40 MPH, I'm sure this was just overlooked. What a shame .
I agree
