Wind deflector for the sunroof?

Has anyone noticed a significant difference in wind noise after installing the sunroof wind deflector? I don't have one now, but am looking into installing one. Just want yalls opinions. Thanks in advance.

I haven't installed any wind deflectors on my 04 STX. I installed window deflectors on my wife's Durango last year and I could really tell the difference in increased wind noise. So much so that I hate driving the thing. I'm real hesitant to install any on my truck because of it. If anyone has installed any please let me know how it affected your wind noise. Sorry I couldn't be of any help.

I had one on my 02 lariat and never had any noticable noise with it.

Are you having a lot of wind entering your truck through the sunroof. I haven't noticed a lot of air actually entering the truck when I open mine up. I did notice that a little deflector pops up when you open up the sunroof. This might be why.

Hey skip-

Only when the windows are down. It creates a different kind of a draft with the sunroof open and the windows (or the back glass) open. Just the roof itself doesn't allow much air in while driving in my opinion. It's just loud. For some reason I thought the wind deflector being installed would help. I actually have to crank up the tunes pretty loud with the sunroof open. Can't complain though, George and Willie sound PDG turned up like that!
