Saabs were some the most horribly manufactured cars on earth!

Any way u can send me a step by step dyi to get my top up, and I have a 2003 93 liner turbo sabb convertable, it's stuck open, and my fluid leaked out on my passenger seat, , one more thing I bring it in to a shop/dealership they did inspection and, ever since that I've had more problems, like the car was dead when I picked it up! First red flag, gas was half gone, and some things missing plus, every time now when it excels into orange the turbo, it starts to putter out, and they say I have oil leaks when I didn't before, all I asked for was oil change and to fix the loud exhaust, they said they couldn't, and I offered to order part they said they wouldn't, over all inspection oil change cost me 600$

Brilliant thanks for this!

Thanks guys. You figured this out so thousands don't have to!

Absolutely brilliant, i am just about to buy a saab cabrio and this was one of my biggest worries , the hood failing, you both made it so simple to follow , just need a video now how to replace a leaking piston lol thank you both so much

This only applies to your years. Decent how to, TD for misleading title.

You are both ⭐ super stars for this video, thank you both so much, this has helped me big time with my Saab 💯💯💯👍👍👍

There is a button on the lower drivers side door that you can push and it pops the trunk open.

I got 2002 saab 9-3 convertible. Where can I buy new key fobs as my key fobs are close to dieing. Wear & tear is pretty bad. I am in Toronto Canada and work in Detroit Michigan USA. Plz help

Good video man. I just bought a 2004 Saab also convertible. This helped a lot. Thank you. 🙏

Unfortunately i keep getting a notification light saying to fully open or close the convertible top. Pops on Everytime i stop n go, just loke every few min at least. To the best of my knowledge, its locked down properly. Its now winter time so i would like to lock it all back into automatic mode. But im having trouble finding the directions of how i do that.. i figured those to things in the trunk get pushed in or pulled out but that doesnt seem to be doing the trick.. im not sure what im missing. But yeah to sum it up, i unlocked it months ago because i had the leaking hydrololic as well and it wouldnt open and close by pushing the button after a while. So i either pushed or pulls the things on both sides of the trunk, then unlocked the parts on both sides of the top in the rear seats areas. Then unlocked the one above the windshield. When o closed i locked both parts on the top near both sides of the rear seats. Yhen locked the one in the front middle above the rear view mirror. And ive been getting the alerts in the info area in middle of dash saying "Either fully open or close convertible top" or something like that. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks!!

I just bought a 2007 Saab Convertable. Top DOESNT work. Trying to figure out how to Manually. Hmm Thankyou for your Info

My problem is once you get it closed, I can't open the lid that holds the convertible top. So I watched your video three times and followed your instructions closely about pushing the latches forward that are in the truck on the sides. But that lid that holds the convertible cover/top won't open, it seems to be locked down somehow by some mechanism. I bought the car this way so I have clue how to fix it. Any tips??

Should show people how to pull the flap back to access the spots on each side of the top. And is there something I'm missing because after putting the top down my trunk won't open.. any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

my top took a sh*t ( leaked all over the driveway ) on me in the lowered position, i tried to pull/push those rods inside truck they feel like theyre hanging onto nothing and the hard boot is still in the locked position.

Great video Ditto K. Was able to figure out how to locate that pesky cylinder that's causing me so much grief. Now, I just need to locate a replacement for it.

Thanks

Not all heroes wear capes... You sir, probably just earned me a BJ.

After you did the passenger side push rod, what did you do after that made the pop sound, did you just pop up the convertable lid?

Thanks for taking the time to put this together. Hope the hydraulic fluid washed out of Russell's shoes 😂

Read.The.Manual.People.

The pistons are $175 used and take 10 minutes to replace. Very simple with some vids on UA-cam about it.

Excellent

Get rid of the 12v plug change it to usb port ,then buy bluetooth 5.0 usb to 3.5 jack no more cord. Then buy a parrot ck3100 and make hands free calling, music will shut off phone will come on SID incoming # and directory will show on parrot screen

Saved me too, thanks. How did you get that flap of roof material to flap back though? I was only able to find the hex holes by touch,which is okay though.

hay dave is your 05 saab for sale?

Same car same year same leak same spot..

I just bought the same one but manual, does the keyfob take a battery?

Thank you for demonstrating that ...I never would have gotten it.....but I don't want to do that any of you get an estimate to fix it not leaking fluid at this point but it doesn't want to work ....let me know

Good info. Thanks fellas.

This was the most helpful video I was able to find! Took me less than 10 minutes to get my top back up. Thanks so much for sharing!

this video helped so much! thank you!!

My the storage trunk thing for top doesn’t open any tips?

Thank a lot no one vidéo on UA-cam and you did it thank a lot !!!!!

Can your friend make one for the 2003 model? Because my trunk looks completely different an saab videos are in fact extremely hard to find.

What a pain In the neck.! I've owned five convertible s since I got my license. The sabb makes me 🤢 sick! I'm going to take this car this time he won't know it i

thank you!

Great help thanks

Holy Smokes! I didn't know that! Just in time too cause I think my fob just went out... Thank you.

You are a life saviour! My roof was stuck in the open position.... Thanks so much.

Well done a very good video.. thanks very much from The uK .. I love my SAAB!

good to know,,,guess when you put it down for the summer you just need to leave it down :)

Thanks worked perfectly ..

Great video, Ditto K! My 2005 Saab 9-3 linear started leaking hydraulic fluid a few days ago. Now I know how to manually open and close the top, and where to find the hydraulic fluid reservoir. Thanks!

What is the name of the attachment to the wrench mine is stripped

Great video! Thank you and Russell for your help

This video solved our roof not closing problem! Thanks so much for spending the time to do this! We now know how to top up the hydraulic oil, which is probably the issue!

My car was leaking terribly from the cylinders on my convertible top and so I decided to go to manual operation. I pushed in those two rods on the right and left of the trunk and can now get it up and down manually just fine. Problem is I get the error message saying make sure soft top is closed completely when Im driving with the top down and not sure how to get it to go away. Is it because I disengaged those rods on the right and left? I can no longer get them to engage with anything and not sure how to go about doing that if they do need to go back in. Thanks for your help.

I did everything that you stated on your video. Top came down just like yours did... But now, after closing the trunk, the trunk won’t open with the key fob release nor will it open with the hidden key at the trunk key hole behind the little cover at the trunk. It seems I just traded one problem for another. SAAB MAKES SHIT CARS!!!
