Replacing sunroof wind deflector

[Stubek]

My wind deflector fabric has dried out completely and now has a gaping hole in it making it very loud to drive with the sunroof open.
The deflector is item 9 on this page

First, does anyone know how to replace this?

Second, are there any alternatives on the market for this part?

TIA

I have the same issue and was looking into this, I found the part online price isn't that bad. A local shop said he could install it charging 1 hour of labor time. Not horrible and worth it to be able to open the moon roof without that loud wind. I live in Orlando and can recommend the shop if local if not I would ask around, make sure they don't think you need the moon roof replaced or the stuff around it or they will quote you around 850$, I have been researching this for a while. Side note I drove a day with the moon roof open and wind screen messed up and now my head liner is messed up and needs to be replaced. Not 100% it caused it but think it did.

Also recall that there was an updated wind deflector AFAIK. My '09 A4 had horrible noise from the sunroof and did nothing about it....then I was told that there was an updated deflector (there may have been a TSB on it) that reduced the noise. I would make sure you're getting the updated version before ordering. There is a big difference between the two that I didn't realize until I picked up my B8.5. Much quieter.
