Greetings,

After monitoring this site for 6 months, I finally found my dream car; a '93 900 Turbo Special Edition. She's a beaut! 70k miles, 5 spd, 3 dr, power everything, good mechanical (full service records and the all-important red APC box), good body, and clean interior. There a number of minor things that I want to repair and would like input from the list on any or all you may be inclined to respond to.

1. Power window switch - driver's side works in reverse of passenger side (press up to get window down). And the 'one-touch down' feature does not work on this window. An alarm system was recently installed and I believe they installed lock actuators in the doors. Might someone have reversed wires on the window control in the door, or is it more likely that the wiring at the switch is backwards?
2. Power antenna - won't retract fully. Is this user serviceable or is a replacement more likely? What's the best way to access the antenna unit?
3. Radio/equalizer/CD - This is all original Saab/Clarion equipment. The CD does not eject and the whole system often toggles off/on. Holding the eject button down keeps it all running. Otherwise, it sometimes works, but sometimes is blinky. Get it repaired, or replaced? Any recommendations for replacements?
4. Rear speakers - not working at all. The manual talks about a rear speaker amp with fuses that is not user-serviceable. Where is it and why can't I replace the fuse myself?
5. Backup light - only stays on if I hold the stick in reverse. I assume I can adjust this. Is the switch under the car, or in the console?
6. Headlight wipers - not working, one is loose and seems disconnected from the motor. Any troubleshooting tips?
7. Front air dam - loose with one section missing. How many 93's have their original dams in place anyway? Should I just pull off the lower section entirely or get a replacement? Good sources?
8. Dashboard cover - the dash is perfect, I'd like to keep it that way. What's a good source for covers?
9. Trailer hitch - yes, I know this sounds goofy, but I've got a bike rack that mounts on a trailer ball. I prefer this to a roof rack. Anyone ever have a tow kit installed? It doesn't have to be heavy-duty.
10. Car cover - again, who's a good source for this stuff?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
