2002 S60 Sunroof Parts M.I.A.

Every once in a while I switch with my wife and drive her S60 T5 just to make sure all is right. Usually after I have it for a week the clutch is smoother and I end up fixing something like the fuel filler door that was falling off etc. I try to ignore the fresh dings in the paint.
This time I discovered excessive wind noise with the sunroof slid back in the normal position. I couldn't stand to drive it with the roof open. Also, something didn't look right and then I realized that the deflector that rises up when the roof opens was missing. Missing entirely!
It must of blown off somewhere on one of those teenager-shuttling missions. With one of my daughter's CDs blasting away on the mighty HU-803, it's no wonder no one noticed it when it flew off.
Is it worth trying to replace it? Or should I just get one of those aftermarket smoked acrylic deflectors that all euro cars had in the eighties? ($40-50 on ebay, probably less than the factory gizmo) What do you guys think? Any pictures of an S 60 with an aftermarket deflector?

Just make sure it fits but after-market deflectors work fine. www.ipdusa.com sells some good ones.
