OEM or aftermarket sunroof wind deflector?

Girlfriend wants a sunroof wind deflector for her 2002, I've seen the OEM deflector and one at Pep Boys etc from Auto Ventshade, it's about $20 cheaper. The OEM clips on and the Ventshade sticks on with 3M tape. Other than personal preference, are there any solid reasons to go with one over the other? I thought the clip-on might leak (probably not), but it's nice to be able to remove it to wax etc. Stick-on has no chance of leaking, but not easy or practical to remove.

A friend had the stick on one for his 4runner, it lasted a year before the doublestick tape separated and it was nowhere to be found. I'd have to recommend the OEM clip-on one.

I'd say clip on. Because it probably won't fly off your car while your driving.

The OEM clip-on would not leak, because the clips go in where the moonroof opening is. The clips are thin and they hook under the roof sheetmetal, and the rubber seal around the moonroof would press against the clips in between the glass panel and roof. It doesn't require drilling. That was how the deflector was on my other car and other cars that had deflectors installed; don't have one on my Camry though.
