SAAB 2003 93 SE Convertible. How to lower the top manually. Need to fill fluid in motor.

The top may be operated manually. Unlatch the rear seat backrest and tip it forward. 2. Lower the lever for manual operation.

Standing beside the car: Grasp the black part of the top cover and pull up the cover. 5. Enter the car and kneel on the folded backrest. Start to pull up the top, using the opening at its leading edge. 7. stand on the lowered backrest and continue to pull on the leading edge of the top upwards to its maximum height. 8. Step down onto the floor of the car and pull the top upwards toward the windshield9. Standing beside the car, close the hard tonneau cover. 10. lower the rear window as far as possible.
