Subject: Re: 1999 9-3HOT Sounds that drive me crazy!


Whenever my Honda Preludes would make squeeking sounds going over bumps, they would lubricate the bushings and the problem would go away. No idea if Saab is the same thing... In my 900S hatch, I put a papertowel around the bar the seatback latch attaches to to tighten up the connection and the rattle went away. There's probably a more elegant way of doing this but it worked. As for cold dash rattles, my 9-5 did this around the instructment pod, but the last time the dealer addressed it (not the first time) they did solve it. Be persistent. Good luck. -- --Blair Tom Stack <tomstacknopsammediaone.net> wrote in message news:ifQK4.3746$cZ.8692nopsamoon.southeast.rr.com... > Okay everyone, help me out.
