Yeah, it's just you...

I removed my gear basket at the dealer before I left the lot and it's never been back on since - not even once. I like my sunroof too much, especially with the see-thru mod. Heh.

However, you do have the right idea with the wind deflector. A lot of crud builds up under and around it that you normally can't easily get to with it in place. Not worthwhile to take it off every time, but once in a while - you should really clean under there - especially for you folks with SE/sunroof. Don't forget to clean inside the "gutter" under the sunroof too.
