No easy fix I'm afraid....

The door latch assembly is not really serviceable. The easiest fix for you with your 3-door 92 would be replacement from a low mileage junker. It is not the easiest job to get the latch mechanism out, but is more of a pain in the butt than really a hard job. In a way you are lucky, because you have so many junkers to choose from. If you had an 89 with mouse belts, the door latch assembly had two switches built in to indicate when the door was closed. The total number of cars which received the mouse belts in late 88 and 89 was not very high. Sort of limits the options. At this point both of the doors in my current 89 900T (with mouse belts) are making this noise and it is beginning to get to me. I will be pulling one out in the next couple of weeks to see if I can get the latch shaft out, replace the bushing, and make up some new machined piece tohold the shaft in place. Currently the shaft is just upset (smooshed over) at the end to hold the latch on.
My other 900's never exhibited this phenomenon, even the ones with significantly higher mileage, so I am at somewhat of a loss to explain why it occurs. One of mine makes sense because the wedge rubber is broken off, but the other one is still intact yet it too is very loose. I have heard of this problem sporadically over the years on Saabnet, although I think it probably occurs more often but is misdiagnosed.
