To the person who posted this, sorry lost original post on my newsreader, and this is from Google: "liked your pix. I have a 1985 900s non turbo. I don't see many on the road in Nebraska. can you tell me if there ever was a trim piece on the trunk where the key fits in? all the Saabs that I see in the same era don't have any type of trim piece. I am thinking maybe there never was a trim piece. I spent more money to fix it up (normal stuff brakes, water pump, steering ect) then I spent for the car. I have no regrets. car starts and gets me to where I need to go. thanks rod" It was in the SPG/900 thread earlier. Anyway, thanks. The 84 and 85 hatchbacks have a 10-inch wide (?) or so piece that you unlatch and lift from. The lock is embedded, and I think there might be a license plate light on the underside. Is this the piece you're wondering about. Otherwise the whole rear panel is flat black, with no other trim that I can think of off the top of my head. Mine always starts too, rain, sleet, snow, hail...well, not hail, we don't usually get that around here...;) -jw
