What is this part of the sunroof called?

I noticed that my sunroof wasn't closing on account of the pop-up wind deflector not retracting properly on the driver's side. I found the culprit - the little arm that is supposed to push it down was cracked. What's this thing called and is it available?

Also noted that the rear of the sunroof sometimes takes some encouragement to fully seat. Guessing this is most likely a result of the issue above, but are there any other common wear items I might consider replacing? So far i will not be taking the panel off the underside as the broken plastic piece is accessible from above.

Yep, that's the piece, and it's really easy to replace. Just unscrew that screw you see in your picture right there, as well as one other screw through that piece. After that, replacing your broken one with the new one will be obvious. The spring and rubber washer that hold it to the wind deflector are small, so don't lose them.

Replacement was indeed quite simple. I added some white lithium grease to the moving parts and she's working well now. Sometimes I need to run the motor after the sunroof is fully close to get the rear edge to "pop up" to be flush with the adjacent roof. What mechanism would require greasing or assistance to have the roof close in a smooth motion?
