ur quattro sunroof misalignment fix

[c a l i b a n <caliban@sharon.net>]

	i got more than one request for a description of the
	fix, so i have posted it to y'all and into the archives
	it will go.

	my understanding is that the sunroof is to sit 1mm below
	the roofline on the front edge, and 1mm above on the rear.
	the shape hence prevents a lot of wind noise.

	anyway, there are four adjustable points: the front two
	catches that hook into a pair of guides int he roof body,
	and a pair of nodes in the middle (near the springs) where
	the removal clips are.

	my problem was the front guides.  these are adjustable by
	loosening the screw and moving the position of the guide.
	this was a complication on mine as one of the screws was 
	completely rust-frozen to the parts; i needed to cut and 
	grind it all out with a dremmel tool.  eventually i had a 
	slightly larger hole in the removable part, and i widened
	the slot in the sunroof part slightly to match it.  from
	there i simply used a new screw and some washers to tighten
	down the part again, and adjusted it as close to the under
	side of the roof as possible.  this turned out to form a 
	great fit.

	also, the side adjusters were a wee bit loose, so i tightened
	them up.
