Mats
The floor mats consist of carpeting made of synthetic
fiber on a jute-fabric backing. Underneath the front mat
are insulation sheets of wallboard, to which the mat is
attached with bur fastenings. The rear mat is fitted di-
rectly to the floor.
The luggage-connpartment mat is glued to the floor cover.
Seats
The seats are built on a frame of fiberglass-reinforced plas-
tic. The seat, backrest and head retraint are made as an
integral moulding. The backrests are provided with an
adjustable cushion. The seats are upholstered with nylon
cordoroy cloth. (The luxury version has leather upholstery.)
The seats are fitted in slide rails and are thus adjustable
for legroom.
Legroom adjustment
Lift the catch (see illustration) and slide the seat forwards
or rearwards to the desired position.

Headlining
The headlining is glued to the body.
Other linings
The rear and side linings of the luggage compartment are
attached with self-tapping screws. All other linings are
glued on.
If the lining on the partition wall behind the seats is to be
renewed, it will be necessary to remove the roll bar. See
section 850.
Lift the legroom-adjustment catch and slide the seat for-
wards until the seat rails are clear of the floor rails. The
seat can.then be removed.
The seat floor rails should be inspected at regular inter-
vals to make sure that the screws are firmly tightened and
that the rails are not laterally displaced. If the seats move
stiffly, the upper rails should be smeared with a little
Saab Special Grease.
