I had this same problem with my '03 Aero wagon about a month ago. The cause is a small plastic retainer that broke due to forced closing despite some small tree debris that got into the track. (You also probably heard a crunching noise when trying to close the roof.) The new mechanism costs $256 at eEuro (#530006, photo of which also shows the retainers on each end) and install it yourself or have it installed. Meantime, clean out all debris from the track and find a way to keep the spring mechanism in its place on the offending side. (The deflector spring on the good side of my '03 was easily strong enough to maintain enough tension for both sides.) To do this, I snipped the spring as flush as possible to get it out of the way, and carefully wind electrical tape around the deflector arm at that point to secure the arm to the track frame. Good luck. (BTW, 27K on an '03???!!! Amazing!)
