couple of things, we have a pop up spoiler already/cleaning the moonroof seal area n putting product on the seal area to keep the squeak down is hard enough already and lastly n most importantly~ opening the sunroof while driving lets dust n stuff inside making show details that much harder

I've had it on other cars.

Yes, it does work. It helps decrease wind noise.

Problems: mostly aesthetic. And make sure you don't scratch your paint during installation.

I had one of those on a Prelude i used to have. Bought the car used and it came with it on. When I removed the sunroof deflector, the rubber weatherstrip actually ate into the paint. Im guessing its from the wind causing the deflector to vibrate a little when driving, and that over a long period of time will eventually damage the paint. So I just left it on until I painted the whole car a couple years later. I may be wrong though, but just speaking from experience.
