Today my sunroof stuck open in the vent position. The manual states it can be manually closed using a screwdriver. The 'screw head' does not look normal. Is there a trick to doing this?
Thanks,

Barry - Normally this can be done with an allen key usually supplied in the access to the manual close gears??
Other than that a normal 8mm (I think) allen key should do it sometimes there is a lot of force required - I have bent allen keys doing this on 9000's I have owned in the past!
GOOD luck

Thanks for the info. When I went to the Saab dealer the service rep was able to close the sunroof by just pressing the button. He then closed/opened the sunroof several times to test it. I know I tried pressing the button in many directions several times with no response. So there must be an interrmitent problem . I requested a demo of how to manually close the sunroof. There is a yellow button in the center of the screw that has to be depressed first, then it can be turned with a flat blade screwdriver. When it was stuck I had tried to depress the yellow button but it would not budge.
Thanks,

Ah ok, so the emergency close mechanism, and it's safety cover button only work when the sunroof is functioning normally. ;)
Another Saab eccentricity.
