New spare part for soft top (tonneau) cover drive unit
Cars affected
Saab 900 CV M95 up to and including VIN W7008292
Background
On certain cars, there is a risk that the link arm shaft on the drive unit for opening the soft top (tonneau) cover will eventually become worn or twisted.
This will result in the soft top (tonneau) cover not opening sufficiently when the soft top is being raised causing the first bow to knock against soft top
(tonneau) cover,
The link arm can be damaged by
^
the soft top (tonneau) cover catching in the latch when being opened
^
deformed soft top (tonneau) cover hinges
^
a load/object lying on the soft top (tonneau) cover when it is being opened.
Previously, it was necessary to replace the entire drive unit (motor bracket and link arm), even when only the link arm was damaged. The link arm is now
available as a separate spare part.
