I am attempting to re-secure my pop up wind deflector back to the sunroof assembly. The previous owner refurbished the assembly but never re-attached the deflector.

I have searched every parts listing and FSM looking for the specific hardware size for the 4 screws (2 per side). Anyone have information on the hardware size? M6 works but the head has to be small for clearance.

Thanks for the help,

My sunroof is currently out of the car on a parts stand awaiting refurbishment. It might not be until tomorrow night, but I'll try to get you an answer if you don't have one by then.

 

 

Look to be regular Phillips screws. I have not removed them yet, but M6x1.00 seems like a good guess.

 

It is a good guess, but if those are original screws, it's wrong.
Oh, it probably is a m6 x 1.0, you got that right...it's the "Phillips" part that's wrong.
Japanese hardware adheres to JIS spec and Phillips ain't a part.
A regular Phillips screwdriver will probably work but in fact, what it wants is a JIS spec driver, which is subtly different and would work better.

My whole life I did not know this but recently acquired a "proper" driver and you really can tell the difference.

Having recently bought my own JIS drivers, I should have described them that way. They are night and day different.

 

excellent and thank you for the reply. That seems simple enough to source hardware. Its interesting because the larger screw seems to have an offset design for the indents on the head. Is this the JIS you're speaking of?

Thanks guys!

 

Further update to this now that I have taken apart my sunroof:

Four screws hold in the wind deflector, two per side. In the middle left of my picture is a black screw, M4x0.7, approximately 5mm long. The screw towards the bottom right of my picture (stainless head visible) is another M4x0.7 screw, approximately 8mm long.

 

Great information for others looking as well. Thanks very much

The sizes you specified worked perfect! I went to ACE and picked up 2.5mm socket head Stainless (2) at M4 - 0.7 x 5mm and (2) M4 - 0.7 x 8mm PERFECT! It's the little things in life like a pop up wind deflector that make the magic happen

Glad to hear it worked!

 

I know this is an older thread, but I'm currently working on my sunroof and I had a question about the sunroof deflector.

My deflector doesn't "pop-up" on it's own. It just stays flat in the down position. Is it supposed to be spring-loaded to pop up or does air pressure do it?

My other problem is that the sunroof can't open without a bit of help, but that is probably unrelated to the deflector.
