I got another question: Where can I get one of those plastic covers
that shield the front of the sunroof for my 2001 Accord? |

They're called "sunroof wind deflectors". You can find them at any auto parts place. Even at your local Honda dealer. -- Tegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

I've thought of getting one for my '06 Accord to quiet the wind noise down a bit when I have the sunroof open. Are they worthwhile? |

The visual effect is somewhat like passenger jet wing landing flaps. Apparently those metal plates are effective. If you already have one of them, an aftermarket deflector is unlikely to make much difference. I kind of wonder about the plastic aftermarket ones. They stand up all the time. Wouldn't they cause whistling and other noises when the glass is closed? -- Tegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

GM has a small piece of metal (not very tall) that comes up when the glass is retracted. Worked quite well and, as you could take your finger and retract it, it was easy to "A - B" it and know that it really reduced the wind noise. Honda does have a similar arrangement however it doesn't protrude very high and, as near as I can tell, provides very little acoustic dampening. > I kind of wonder about the plastic aftermarket ones.
