Ping v4 experts - 96 question

Yes - I had a '62 96 with this fabric sunroof; a handle at the front-center is turned to unlatch it, and it manually slides back quite a ways. I kept the roof when the car disintergrated due to rust.

Can probably scare up some pictures if you're interested. It's a lot like the VW sunroof of the days; I'd recognize the brand name of the mechanism if someone said it, or I could go look.

If you have the parts microfiche, it's listed, I believe it went back to the late 93 days if I'm not mistaken?

Thanks Dave - I just wanted to make sure it's not an after-market item, since I've never seen it before. I'm thinking of purchasing a 96 with such a roof.

Sadly I don't have the parts microfiche - that would be a very nice thing to have. Even better on cdrom.

I think the name on the handle is "Golde", come to think of it. What year

96; a V4 seems late but maybe not. Could check the fiche if you'd like, but it'd be this evening late (my time, maybe 7-8AM your time).

I wonder if Saab would go ballistic if those fiches were to find thier way into a digital format... Do you suppose that's an "It's easier to ask forgivness than be granted permission" kind of thing?

Nah, don't worry about it - that would be too late for me anyway. I think I've made my decision. Will let you know what happens.

What, as in the old "When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bike. Then I realised that The Lord doesn't work that way, so I stole one and asked him to forgive me."? Yes, I believe this applies here.

I've decided against the idea - suspect there is more rust there than I'd like. I won't quote the seller's email, but it was enough to put me off on grounds of rust.

Pretty car.

AFAIK.....Golde went down late seventies and there are no spareparts anymore.
