Rebuild/Upgrade Service for 1998-2002 Saab 9-3 Convertible Hydraulics

Saab 9-3 First Generation 98-03

  • Not sure whether your Saab convertible is a 1st or 2nd Generation?

  • The distinction is simple: if you need to turn a handle to lock and unlock the front, then you have a 1st Generation model.  The 2nd generation locks and unlocks automatically.

  • Top Hydraulics is the leading manufacturer of replacement hoses for your Saab 9-3 cabriolet hydraulics - far exceeding OEM specs.
  • Rebuilding and upgrading hydraulic system components for your First Generation Saab 9-3, SE,  or Saab 9-3 Viggen Convertible - Top Hydraulics' quality is unmatched!

  • We upgrade your cylinder(s) by replacing the tiny OEM rod seal with a much larger one made of superior materials, and adding custom caps made of CNC machined stainless steel to accommodate these superior seals. Our seals are not sensitive to water and are resistant to most additives in hydraulic fluid. This results in a much longer service life than the standard OEM cylinders for a fraction of the price.

  • Our Core Exchange option makes this as easy as buying a new cylinder - you only have to ship back your old cylinder(s) afterwards for core credit.

  • Top Hydraulics also rebuilds and upgrades convertible hydraulic pumps, as well as manufacturing our own upgraded hydraulic lines.

  • Owning and driving a convertible with an automatic top is prestigious, convenient and exciting - let Top Hydraulics help you enjoy your beautiful car even more by making your convertible top system truly better than new!

  • Top Hydraulics' standard warranty is 3 years on rebuilds/upgrades of convertible top cylinders and hydraulic pumps, and on new hydraulic hoses.

  • Please enjoy our DIY cylinder and hose replacement instructions for 1st Generation Saab 9-3 convertibles https://www.tophydraulics.com/saab93cylinderlineremovalhires.pdf, as listed in our continually expanding DIY section.
