Subject: Re: Jammed convertible hood


HI, I have a 96 convertible, the release handle behind the read seats only releases the tonneau cover. it basically pops the motor out of the gears and allows you to raise the conver manually. I worked this out and it only takes 10 minutes to reset the motor as it just clips back in. however once you have done this the roof still works under electric power. does the rear window fold up? is there any movement on the roof at all? let me know and I may be able to tell you the best way forward "Jane S" <JSrrrnopsamail.com> wrote in message news:3ddbe9f6_3nopsam.newsgroups.com... > Thanks Guys, > > The hood is stuck up, and wont come down, not the other way around - I have > seen the manual mechanism in the manual, if I use that does the system need > to be reset by a saab dealer, or will it all still be OK ? > > Jane > > > "Once was Bob" <uctraingNOSPAMnopsamanet.com> wrote in message > news:a0jltu01c95f0ge54t53it956fhcg7jmsmnopsamcom... > > On Tue, 19 Nov 2002 16:46:16 -0000, "Jane S" <JSrrrnopsamail.com> > > wrote: > > > > >sorry, uk. > > > > > >the roof !, > > > > Well, if you can't get the tonneau cover up, that's an issue. > > Have you tried sneaking in through the bag in the trunk ? > > Also, if you look in the manual, you can release the mechanism > > and raise the roof manually.
