The home market ETKA link we were all looking at last week shows this spoiler, as well as the tilting glass sunroof assembly.
  I was admiring the improved look and functionality over the luggage rack we all have (which I have never used).

  Yes, Bill. That is indeed the part I was referring to. I thought about
  making for a Country Homes Camper I used to own. Gives the poptop a
  more complete look. As far as function, besides fairing the front edge
  is the poptop, it is as functional as the rear buttress supports on
  the Maserati Bora & Merak. They are mostly for cosmetics.
