Hello every Saab owners! I have been driving convertibles around 3 years now and I know some of the bad things owning this kind of car - noise and "not stiff" body etc. For 3 months ago, I got my new 9-3 Convertible which is a total different car compared to my previous Golf III convertible. Bigger, better seats, more comfort, better quality and so on... A couple of weeks ago I started to hear some creaks coming from the back seat area (on the left side). It's two different kind of creaks which I mean are not some of the "typical convertible noise": 1) Are there almost all the time, also when I'm driving on the highway (where it is not bumby). The sounds are like scrubing leather/rubber against each other. Not to loud by very irritating!!! 2) Hear it sometimes when I'm driving slovly (in 10 to 20 mph). It sounds like some metal are creaking. If you ask me, it's from the metal inside the convertible top. My questions are if some of you have had similar problems or expierinces. My colleague told me that I had to live with these noises/creaks because it was a convertible. I do not agree to this. Thanks in advance Arild
