Noise when operating the soft-top, alternatively cracks in the rear window
|
Saab 900 CV M96 to VIN W7007622 inclusive with:
|
•
|
rear window mounted with clips

guides fitted to fifth bow

There is a risk that the plastic rear window guides will crack or chip due to the edge of the steel rear window-frame being too sharp. Very high or very low temperatures will have an effect on the wear experienced.
Damaged guides can cause noise when the soft-top is operated and may crack or break the rear window.
Rectify after customer complaint.
