Saab 900 Convertible - Snapping Noise from Rear as Top Is Lowered into Boot

900 Convertible Top Troubleshooting Guide
II. ‘Snapping” noise from rear as top is lowered into boot
- Broken or missing stops on rear window?
The rear window may be catching on the 5th bow latch hooks as the top is
being lowered. There are 3 different designs of “rear window stops” which
have been used. ANY ONE OF THESE 3 STYLES IS ACCEPTABLE.
If you are working on a Convertible which has none of these, install covers
on 5th bow latches, P/N 45 59 431 LH, 45 59 456 RH.
See PSI 04/97-0753 Subject #9 for further details. Check to be sure that all
of the steps in this PSI have been performed.
