Roof Won't Go Down.

[Traci66]

Saab 93 convertible, tried to put the roof down today and the Sid unit just kept coming up with the message 'check soft top storage area', the storage area was as it should be, roof went down a couple of weeks ago no problem. Any ideas please?

Traci, in the boot is the storage space for the roof soft one that you can push up, you know like when you have many shopping bags ?.

[Traci66]

It is tony, you hook it up, but it's not hooked up.

Ok Traci, it is similar to mine, is the roof opening so far and then stops ?.

My Mum had a Saab that did that, it was one of the electric switches and cost a fortune :(

[Traci66]

Nope, undo the catch, press the button and display comes up.

Ok Traci, first thing is check the hydraulic oil level although I doubt that it is that,but if you are lucky it could be at a low level if not then has Sharinghan says it is most likely to be a sensor or the control module.
http://www.saabcentral.com/index.htm. hope this link works. Saab central is a great site, and I bet someone on there will probably know the answer Traci. Have a look and post your problem on there.

Thanks to you both, will check out the link now and get sil to check the hydraulic oil level.

Good luck Traci, you need that roof working it's gonna be a sunny weekend.

Checked everything suggested and it was all good, tried the roof again and guess what ...... it's working just fine now.
