How do you open the bonnet on a Saab 93?

Answer 1

On the left hand side near where the driver's knee (on LHD cars) there is a lever with a black rubber end which will be pointing backwards when the hood is closed. Push the lever down and it should rotate through 90deg. This releases the bonnet main catch. Outside the car, lift the rear edge a little near the left hand corner and it will stop against the safety latch which is about 12 inches from the left edge, towards the middle of the car. Push this forwards and the bonnet can be lifted. Shutting the hood is a reversal, that is do *not* slam the hood, just let it rest down with a gentle push, then pull the inside lever up again and this will clamp the hood shut. If you slam the hood you will damage the latches. [Confusingly, 1993 cars onwards did have a slam shut mechanism, and the release lever in the same place has just a small movement backwards].

Answer 2

Opening the hood on a Saab 93 is a two-step process. First, you will need to pull the hood release lever on the inside of the car. Next, walk around to the hood and slide the lever under the hood to the right, until it releases.

Answer 3

The hood release is on the passenger side of the vehicle just inside the car by the passenger door, thre is a small catch under the bonnet to the right of centre
