  1. Auto Detailing & Body Repairs
    Last time it rained, it poured, and rainwater eventually leaked into the cabin(mostly through the sides). It doesn't seem like the car has been weatherproofed in many years, so I decided to coat it before it starts raining again. I just cut up a trash bag(happened to have some lying around) to...
  2. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    Good afternoon all, I'm kind of at a decision point and would appreciate input. My car is an OG 2001 9-3 convertible w/ 5 speed manual. I need to dispose of it but I'm weighing two options: 1) Put more time and money into repair, then try to sell. 2) Bite the bullet and send to junkyard...
  3. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    Another member found a junkyard Viggen Convertible with rear seats that could be used as a pattern for Lseat, but the key is missing. Is there anyway to get the rear seats out or remove the seat covers in this situation?

    Where is the Convertible Top Sensor - Main Cylinder Up / Down cable located? I just purchased this car for my daughter and was told this cable needed to be replaced. I purchased the cable and have spent the last hour looking for where it goes. The cable has a plug in and 2 sensors. I can't find...
  5. Wheels & Tires
    Because of where I live,Virginia ( dirt, gravel roads, alot of weather etc) the 17" performance wheels and tires are just not cutting it. Already blew 2 continentals .. Has anyone put 16" wheels and tires on their convertibles? Give you a better quality ride on on HW I'm guessing but also can...
  6. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    Hi everyone, Adding to the list of small things I need/want to fix on the 97 900SE vert, I foolishly used the seat release mechanism one too many times to access the back seat. It popped and now just flops. And yes the seat is now locked and will not fold forward. I'm picturing a snapped cable...
  7. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    This is an experiment after my thread on the two small holes I repaired using E6000. Those holes in the header of the 2003 93 SE Cabrio roof were repaired beautifully using E6000 (black). The holes were caused by the header rubbing up against the boot lid during open/close. That, too, was fixed...

    Hi all I have a 2001 Sabb 9-3 2.0L 2door Convertible. The Car was misfiring, sluggish and stopped while driving. Sometimes I could get it started when it cut off and sometimes not. Until finally it would start up again until it sat or wanted too. I replaced the egnition coils, put new spark...

    Hi everyone, I've had this issue coming for a long time, but today its finally happened. the lock for manual operation on the 6th bow (both left and right) have finally stripped. I was able to get it to shut by pulling on the bar to get it to lock, but im afraid this resolution may break things...

    Hi everyone I'd imagine this topic comes up all the time, i'm just trying to go through some stuff with the roof not working on my 05 vert. So sorry if this is going over old, well trodden ground :( I got the 'manual operation only' message from my car after it was having some trouble...

    HI folks, hoping someone has advice on what to check next on my convertible. Background: 2011 9-3 convertible that all rear lights recently went out on. #10 30amp fuse in trunk for those lights looks good but replaced with new anyway. No change. Checked bulbs and all are good. There appears...
  12. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    I have a 2006 9-3 2.0T convertible manual, with 140k on it, which has suddenly begun to give me trouble. Trying to put it into 1st results in grinding noise, unless I really shove the stick forward. The same thing happens in 5th. 2, 3 and 4 all work perfectly. The engine pulls strong, and there...

    Can't found a right side wiper arm for 2007 9-3 convertible. Does anyone know if I can use a sedan arm from same era?
  16. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    I am trying to get in between the headliner and the top to re-attach the bar that the headliner snaps on to (it is sagging), and the only way I can access this is when the top is halfway down. Obviously the top closes automatically after 20 seconds or when the key is removed, but I need it to...

    So the roof closes but the cover is about 1" from being "down" on the trunk lid...no alerts or anything..... New to me car...read somewhere might be because of the cold weather and stiffness of the top...

    so I was all set to replace the antenna mast on my '06 9-3 vert, together with the amplifier, which some kid destroyed when they broke my antenna. I went at the nut which holds the rectangular black plastic housing through which the antenna mount on the amplifier slides, into which the mast...
  19. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    Hi all, I have a problem with my 900 ng (1997) roof. When I open it the rear part with the window does not fold properly and gets stuck on trunk. Like it is too long for the roof space inside the trunk. It used to work perfectly and some day this happened. Any idea what the problem could be...

    ISO a C900 ski rack! Know they are rare but figured it was worth a shot. It is separate from the standard 'luggage rack', and I will try and put some photos below. Searching with the intent to use.... who said a convertible isn't a practical year-rounder? :) Would prefer pickup in the Northeast...
