Cars in stock must be rectified before delivery
Cars already delivered should be rectified next time they are brought in for regular servicing or repairs.
All Saab 900 M94-96.
Blisters in the paintwork on the doors may arise due to galvanic corrosion between the car body and the doors. A new sill scuff plate which is not electrically conducting has therefore been introduced to prevent electrode migration across the sill scuff plates.
The new sill scuff plates are painted black on the inside and have no rubber lip.
