INSTALLING
1. If the pane has been removed from its retainer, start
by fitting the rubber pad to the pane and pressing on
the U-shaped retainer. Make sure that the retainer
grips the pane securely. The measurement quoted in
the illustration must be exact, as the window will
otherwise be difficult to operate.
When assembling, take care to press the retainer on
evenly. If for example the middle is pressed on harder
than the ends, the retainer is liable to be bent, and the
pane is then apt to work loose from the retainer .

HEADLINING
The headlining is made of moulded glass fiber covered
with velour. The lining is during the transportation covered with plastic which is to be removed after that the
lining is mounted in the car. Because of its ridgidity, the
lining is sensitive to breaking especially around the edges
of the recesses for the roof lamps and the sun visors. The
installation of the lining must therefore be made with
greatest care. The way of installation differ on 2- and 4door versions, and Saab 99 Combi Coupe.
