I asked an independent mechanic (exclusively SAAB and Volvo) about a reinforcement kit for the motors on the convertible top. He said that he's never heard of one and in 17 years has never seen ANY problems with the tops; every SAAB convertible he's worked on, the top has worked great. He said to make sure you keep the sprockets/gears clean and greased. I asked him why SAAB switched to a hydraulically operated top for the 9-3's, he said they are more efficient and cheaper to produce. So I called the dealer and spoke to their parts department. They hadn't ever heard of or seen a reinforcement kit. I asked them if they had problems with the tops on NG900's, they said they have occasional problems but nothing universal to all the tops. Go figure?
