Trunk Pass-Through in the rear
seatback for long, narrow loads
A trunk pass-through is provided in the rear
seatback support so that long narrow
objects can be carried. Before using this
trunk pass-through, the rear seatback must
be lowered.
Suspend the top storage bag by means of
the hooks as previously described on page.

Cleaning the soft top, 9-3
Convertible
NOTE
The trunk pass-through can only be used
when the top is raised.
If you attempt to lower the top with the top
storage bag suspended from the hooks or
with a load pressing against the top stor-
age bag, the SID will display the message
"CHECK SOFT TOP STORAGE" (see
page 54).
NOTE
• Note that some automatic car washes
can damage a textile soft top. This
applies to washes that have mechani-
cal feelers in contact with the body-
work.
We advise against washing a Saab
9-3 Convertible in automatic car
washes.
• Park in the shade if possible. Long
standing in strong sunlight can affect
the color and material of the soft top.
• Never use strong bleaches or abra-
sive cleaning agents, since they can
damage the textile soft top.
• Wash bird droppings off at once, since
they can have a corrosive effect on the
textile soft top and paint.
• During prolonged parking, especially
winter storage, the soft top should be
up to give optimum airing of the fabric.
• Do not wash the fabric soft-top with a
high-pressure jet.
• Strong detergents and solvents can
damage the flame retardant treatment
of the soft top.
