Major or Minor issue with 1997 900S convertible motor?

Hi,
I'm checking out a 1997 900S 5sp convertible 113K miles. It's from a small dealer who has picked it up, spent some effort getting it into shape, and now selling it. Ordinarily I would stay away from a dealer like that. But with 900 and 9-5 experience this seems to be a decent car at $3950.
The top itself is in great shape. When I lowered it, the motion seemed okay with squeeking but no brutal noises. However, the tonneau cover didn't completely pull down tight. On raising it, the top moved into place cleanly. But on start up the SID made a claim that the latches were not locked.
I'm not sure if those are simple adjustment fixes or indicators of imminent failure. Any experience with that?
Thanks,
Tim
