Milano sunroof spoiler



Hello All,

Here is my first contribution. This weekend I have worked on the sunroof of
my 88 AR Milano Verde. It had two problems:
1	The position of sunroof was to high compared to the roof of the car.
2	When closing the sunroof I had to manually push the "wind spoiler"
down to prevent the sunroof hitting it.

Repositioning or removing the sunroof is fairly simple after sliding back
the headliner panel. The procedure for disconnecting the headliner panel
from the metal sunroof is fairly good explained in "The Alfa 75 / Milano
Resource" on the Web.
In my case I slided the headliner panel back (I had to slightly push the
panel down at the back-end when the sunroof was still in tilted position,
before it was able to slide under the roof). And ultimately removed the
sunroof to get access to the mechanism to clean and grease it.

The second problem appears to be a common problem with Milanos. Probably
that's the reason why the sunroof was positioned so high in the past. There
are two fragile pieces that push the spoiler down when closing and those
were bend upwards. My recommendation is to mount some small pieces on it. 

However I tried to bend them back downwards and the first one broke. After
looking at it again, bending wouldn't have been sufficient anyway. My
workaround was to remove the complete wind spoiler!

Success,

Bart
