  1. C900 Workshop
    I have a mystery on my hands and neither me or my mechanic (he has tons of experience with Saabs and used to only fix Saabs) can't figure out. I have a '91 900 Turbo convertible and the original hydraulic lift mechanism (not sure the exact name) that raises and lowers the top made a loud pop...

    I don't know what's wrong, but the top is stuck as you can see in the first photo and won't move up or down. I'm not sure if there is something wrong with the motor but I don't see anything broken on either side. Any idea what might be the problem?

    Was informed that I need a new 5th bow potentiometer. Mechanic said it's bad, which is why my toneau cover is not operating. Is that a difficult fix? Where is the best place to get one at a reasonable cost? :o

    Hi folks. Help please with girlfriend's '03 9-3 Convertible. I see there is a "valve" that can be accessed by popping off the 2" round rubber cover behind the rear seat. And that it can open and close. WHY did Saab go through the trouble of making this accessible, and when/why would it be used...

    Hello all! I had my 2005 9-3 Aero convertible in storage for about a year and was really happy when I just took it out for a spin. I brought the top down and noticed the lid stops before closing completely, seemingly by some phantom in the trunk but the trunk is completely empty. If I fiddle...

    2006 Aero Convertible - today at work i went to put the top down remotely w/ the key fob. I forgot i had my clubs in the trunk, so the top tried to go down for about 5 seconds before i realized it wasn't going down. So I cleared the trunk and decided to start the engine to finish putting the...

    Hi all, I am a new owner of a 2001 9-3 convertible that leaks a little in heavy rain. I haven't ever had a convertible before, and I expect a little leakage from a ten year old top. But I wonder how much is a sign that something is wrong. I just came back from driving back from a weekend...

    Hey Everyone, I just purchased an 03 93 convertible. The convertible top needs the two inner cylinders replaced. Is there such a thing a a rebuilt cylinder? If these two are bad, does it mean the two outer ones are bad? My driver seat will move forwards and backwards, but it won't tilt...

    I am replacing the top lift cylinders in my 1991 900 turbo convertible - I got the back seat out fine with the side panels. I took the seat and side panels out with the top down. Do I need to put the top up to remove the cylinders? Any other input would be appreciated. I read what Mel Smith...

  19. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    So my '99 vert has a pretty saggy headliner and I'm wondering what can be done to tighten things up. Do I pull the headliner out and wash it in hot water to shrink it? It is stained from being wet but the top doesn't leak now. Are there cables I can tighten? Anybody have any ideas how to...
