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
release on SAAB 900 S convertible
The manual release for the convertible top of a '94-'98 Saab 900 is behind the back seat. It is accesible by folding down the back seat. After you fold down the seat the release is on the right side in the middle. Look for a slit in the fabric and you will see a lever. To release pull lever all the way down.
Because probably the latches are not properly closes or they might be damaged
Well if it is like the 1991 Saab convertible, the rag top will not function without the key on in the ignition, not to mention you first must release the latches in the front ; on either side. After that....i would not know...a Saab repair guy..would be your best bet.
For the S197 (05-09) there is no manual override.
if you left the top down and it got wet then your radio is probably fried
On both sides of the rear panels are latches with arrows on them, they have to be released. They lock in position when the top is put down and the rear of the top on both sides is pushed 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.
