Saab 9-3 CV M98 - M00 up to and including VIN Y7015106
On the 9-3 CV, there is a spot-welded joint of several sheets of metal by the B-pillar where the ED paint may not have been applied properly. These surfaces can therefore be subjected to moisture and may as a result corrode.

Important
|
|
Apply the anti-corrosion treatment to a warm body, preferably outdoors in sunshine or indoors at room temperature. The car should remain in the warmth for 2-3 hours after application.
|
|
|
|
1.
|
Lower the soft top (open).
|
|
2.
|
Lower the side window half way.
|
|
3.
|
Remove the cover from the B-pillar.
|
|
4.
|
Liberally apply anti-corrosion treatment to the joints (use a spray gun, HV compressed air gun T931, part no. 30 21 011, with round jet nozzle and a reduced pressure of 1.5 bar). The lower parts of the joints are difficult to access from above, but by applying the treatment liberally on the upper parts, excess anti-corrosion treatment will easily run down along the joint. Apply the anti-corrosion treatment to and around the striker plate.
|
|
5.
|
The water barrier can sometimes obscure the joints and must therefore be shifted during application using a long screwdriver.
|
|
6.
|
Wipe any anti-corrosion treatment from exterior surfaces.
|
|
8.
|
Check that the water barrier is correctly positioned after application.
|
|
9.
|
Repeat the procedure on the other side.
|
|
10.
|
Wind up and clean the windows.
|
|
11.
|
Raise the soft top (close).
|
|
Marking the modification identity plate
|
On completion of the necessary rectification, box B1 for M98, D1 for M99 (a new, additional modification identity plate is required, see SI 801-2268) and B1 for M00 on the modification identity plate must be marked. If the work is carried out by the importer, mark the box with a "7". If done by the dealer, mark it with an "8".
