Subject: sunroof van interior baffle and roof deflector

I have started the restoration of my Syncro Sunroof van and have been talking to
many other sunroof owners about these vans.  A friend with one has a roof
deflector that looks stock, were they available as a add-on at the dealer?  ETKA
didn't show any part#.

I have pulled the entire interior and all the glass in preparation for bodywork
and a complete respray.  it has been brought to my attention that while driving
with the roof open there is a baffle inside the van that is really annoying.
First off, should you drive with the top open?  What do you think about adding
late model rear windows with the plastic threw vents to help cut down on the air
noise? Would the roof deflector or Yakima rack with roof deflector help?

Curious to hear what other roof owners say about this.

open your drivers window and there will be no baffle.
and yes the sunroof deflector bubbles were an option..mine has one.
ps, its almost 70 degrees where i am right now..  so i could really drive with the sunroof open if i wanted..:<)
