Refer to: Air Deflector (501-17 Roof Opening Panel, Removal and Installation).

Remove the roof opening panel fixed glass panel.

NOTE: The stretching of the seal prior to pulling from the vehicle body flange causes more of the adhesive to come off of the flange and remain on the seal when removing the seal.
To remove the seal, start at the splice joint at center rear area and pull in the direction shown along the seal path instead of pulling straight out at 90 degrees. This will stretch the seal removing more of the adhesive.
