Not really sure what the part is called, so I havent been very lucky as far as searching this. The factory "deflector" I have has had the weather get to it and started to bow. The bow causes it to rattle at highway speeds wich is EXTREMELY annoying as you can imagine. I've tinkered with it a little but don't want to break anything andI dont know the proper way to remove it.

Thanks

I've had mine off for about 4.5 years now. The link above will guide you on how to take it off, the 2 covers pop off and theres four screws i think.

Heres how it looks without it.

Thanks for the pic. I've been wondering what it would look like.

I have a plan to fix it that I've tried once before that temporarily helped. Put some plastic tubing around the edge to seal it better. But it was difficult having to stuff it under the deflector. I'm just a little leary of taking it off now due to the fact I could break one... :confused: Probably gona give it a shot anyways!
