Milano Sunroof deflector, another approach

[JGDELKER@domain.elided]

     I have yet to have any problem with my Verde sunroof, but here are two 
things that I have done as "shade tree" preventive maintenance.

	1)  I heard the wind deflector starting to bind, and disconnected it. 
 There now is a little more wind in the car, but I usually use it in the rear 
canted up mode any way.  

	2)  When I use the sunroof, I run it in both modes, tilt and retract. 
 My theory being that this keeps the grease and gook moving and spread out, 
and the cables exercised.  

	I have no scientific basis for the full range of motion idea for the 
sunroof,  but it has worked so far for me (knock on wood).

 I've found after looking at the wind deflector and it's action, there is a
 couple of tabs near the front of the sunroof assy that have what look to be
 plastic pads on them.. On my Verde, I took a rather large screwdriver and
 gently bent these tabs down just a little bit and now I don't have to do the
 finger pinch game. >>
