Replacing Side Trim Molding As Needed - Saab 900 Convertible Manual

PSI 04/97 - 0753
lf side trim molding is distorted, or a customer complaint is registered regarding these
moldings, change the left- and right-hand side trim moldings as needed, following the
directions below.
Parts:
LH side trim molding
RH side trim molding
Operate the top using the "ROOF" switch until it is halfway raised and the Tonneau cover is fully upright. All
windows should be lowered. See Figure 2.A.
2. Remove the existing side trim molding by pulling it upwards.
The clip at the trailing end should remain in place on the metal flange. If the metal extruded section is loose it
should be scrapped.
NOTE: If protective tape/foam is not fitted on the vertical sheet metal edge under old molding, fit a 3/4" piece
of duct tape to protect the sheet metal surfaces when fitting the new molding.
3. Pit the new trim molding in place with new clips. The locating guide at the trailing edge should be fitted in the
Tonneau cover seal.
