Hey there
My roof has developed a problem. The fabric cover works fine but the plastic cover that hides the open roof doesn%26#039;t raise without manual assistance (only slight help is needed, though) and then slams down once the roof is fully retracted. Often the locking catches are closed, menaing the cover doesn%26#039;t lock. I can move the roof button back and forward, raise the cover again and then they%26#039;ll open and lock as normal. I%26#039;ve checked the level in the hyd reservior - it was a tad low, but now filled as per the marks ($50 for 0.5l - robbery!). I%26#039;ve looked at the springs (intact) and hyd ram (no leaks) in the boot area. Any ideas on what to test/check next?
Saab 9-3 Convertible (2000 model) roof problems?
Check the right rear quarter panel in side the trunk behind the fabric, there is a rod with a universal joint, the joint has a pin that breaks.
I think you have to replace the joint, or maybe the pin is replaceable, I can%26#039;t remember.
This is pretty common, and the dealer usually has it in stock.
Reply:The joint for the cover is broken
Reply:The pin has sheared in the joint. Drive it out with a punch and then install a new shear pin. A Saab dealer can perform this in about a 1/2 hour plus the cost of the pin...a couple of dollars
