Pedro, thanks for your instructions. I spent 3 hours removing and replacing the 3 'bolts' (1 allen head, 1 torx and 1 phillips - curious thing the Saab but then I knew that when I bought it). Rather than the 'close-fit' ratchet "from Sears" (BTW - not in Canadian Sears stores!). My solution was a pair of needle nose vice-grips on the phillips screw bit out of my tool box, just barely enough room to do a portion of a turn on the screw, reposition the vice-grips on the bit and do the next bit of the turn (I figure that it was 1/16 of turn for each repositioning!). In any case the 'new to me' lever is in and working. Now if I could only figure out how to get the top to 'stop' just above the top of the window they way Bentley says it should. The illustration and my top's linkage don't look alike!
Pedro - I have the piviot bolt, send address!
