roof spoiler alignment

For those with roof spoilers, I just received mine today and just sat it on the car to see how it looked. I noticed that I could slide it all the way up to where it touched the roof line...seemed to be a small lip on underside of the spoiler that sat in the very small gap between the top of the rear window and the roof........but I also noticed that I could place it "square" with the top of the window which left a small gap between the spoiler and roof line.

Any opinions.

Take a look at "Hyperion667"'s recent post about OEM roof racks. You can see how his OEM spoiler is mounted. Exact same. Great Forum.

nice pics...looks really good....but, too hard to see who far up your roof spoiler is installed. Maybe its not big deal because you can only see it if you are up against the car and looking down on it.

I did a search and came up with Hyperion667 in several threads...unfortunately, couldn't find the specific discussion you are referencing.

MrBrianMorris -

I had a moment to pic the car in the garage tonight ... take a look at the alignment up against my Pano roof.
