1) does it lock then unlock or is is one fluid motion 'cl-click' If so, it could be a stiff lock linkage (lubricate) or a bad lock motor 2) RTV will not 'hurt' a painted surface, but make sure that it is from there and not from the hatch seal, clogged drain in the base of the trunk (under floor), or something else. The window seal is pretty solid. It could also be leaking through the hole for the spoiler (remove inside cover and reseal the nuts which fasten the spoiler). 3) Fade? I do not have any fade to notice in normal driving. Where are you driving it that you have fade? Autocross? Do not use dot 5 fluid, Make sure that the system is operating properly and that the discs are true and thick to spec. Also look for contamination on the discs. With the ABS system, you should be able to haul the tank down pretty quickly. 4) super aeros fit and are pretty sharp on a C900. Stick with 205/50-16's. Make sure that you get rims from a 9k Aero -98. The 9^5 and NG900 have 5 lug rims. http://www.dublinsaab.com/photos/talla.jpg KeithG Rudolph Hucker wrote: > I've had this one for a while, and I have a couple of problems I'd like to > sort out. > > 1.
