SOURCE: Saab roof starts to open
The 94-98 Saab 900 cars have numerous top issues that are known. The
primary issue is the design of the convertible top Tonneau motor that
is located in the right rear quarter panel behind the light. The
problem with the original motors was that there was not enough strength
in the housing that held the motor to support the top movement because
the teeth on the gear drive would get chewed up when the motor moved
out of position. The failure of the Tonneau motor causes the top to
chatter about half way up or down because the teeth of the motor gears
would get chipped off. Replacement of the gears or replacement of the
motor is the only repair and the convertible top Control module must be
programmed after the repair by someone with a Saab Tech 2 computer tool
which is used to program the top potentiometer settings. If you catch this problem early enough it can be repaired by using the bracket reinforcement kit.
Check
latches is also a common failure which displays on the Saab Information
Display (SID) Generally, this failure is due to problems with the
micro-switch located in the latches that secure the convertible top
when up.
Another issue with the convertible tops has been the
control module that controls the top electronically. The major problem
with this is device is that it looses the ability to communicate with
the Saab tech 2 tools. This problem appears to have been solved in
the newest versions of the ECM.
This TSB covers the known issues with NG 900 vert tops. There are numerous others for the 9-3 tops.
