Saab Convertible top stuck?

Procedures for manually operating the convertible top are in the

Owners Manual.

It is nearly impossible to properly answer this question because

there is almost no information. What year? What model (classic 900?

next generation 900? 9-3?)? The convertible tops have several

different methods of operation, some hydraulic, some electric. Is

the top up or down?

On the 95 Saab 900 Turbo Soft Top, the manual release is located

behind the passenger back seat. If you look on the left side, you

will see a slit in the grey material. The lever is red. If you pull

it down, it releases the motor that operates the top. However.....

be sure you really want to do this. I was under the impression it

would be simple to reconnect the motor. It's not. My soft top will

manually go up and down now but I cannot get the top connected to

the latches in the trunk. I need to go to a Saab mechanic and have

the top recalibrated with a tech 2 tool. About $100

Why does convertible hood on Saab 900 se 1997 stick down?

This is a common concern. The tonneau motor assembly is not strong enough to prevent the convertible top from chattering and sticking after consistent use. Check latches when top begins to stick the Saabs information display screen gives notification as well.

Stuck as in what? Is it like not closing/opening, or is it literally stuck in between stages? If its stuck half way, usually starting the car again or pressing the button for longer will start it again, otherwise get a repair center to look at it.
