The Saab roof is fabric not vinyl and as such I wouldn't take it anywhere near an automatic car wash. The fabric could be scratched, torn or stained. The Saab roof is very, very, expensive, around $4000 installed. Where a vinyl roof is only $500. Why risk it. Find one of those do it yourself wash centers or find an old fashioned hand car wash. I get my cars washed by hand for $5 when I don't feel like getting wet.
