Soft top storage drive device
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Saab 9-3 and 2010 Saab 9-3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The soft top storage drive (1) is operated by a cable (2) via an idler pulley (3) from the sixth bow hydraulic cylinder. The soft stop storage drive has a catch (4) that is controlled via a cable to the soft top cover hydraulic cylinder (5) from the soft top storage hinge.
The catch for the soft top storage drive (4) makes sure the soft top storage is also raised when the soft top is closed (raised) and that it remains lowered when the soft top is opened (lowered). If the soft top cover is not closed, the drive cannot lift the soft top storage.
