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.
Yes, you can manually put the top down on a 1996 Saab 900S. There is typically a manual release mechanism for the convertible top, often located near the rear seat or in the trunk area. Consult the owner’s manual for specific instructions, as the process may vary slightly by model. Be cautious to ensure the top is fully disengaged before attempting to lower it.
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.
Behind passenger seat is a lock box. Unlock and inside is a lever. Pull down and trunk will unlock.
See if you can pull down the back of the back seat. If you can, you'll be able to crawl into the trunk and get your keys out.
if you left the top down and it got wet then your radio is probably fried
You may have a Mercedes and the trunk warning light has been known to stay on where you can't put the top down. Try opening the trunk and slamming it shut. The problem may be the pneumatic supply pump (PSE) which is supposed to pull the trunk all the way down.
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
