Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the existing support’s extended length, compressed length, and end connection style before installation. Confirm the vehicle is a 1979-1993 Saab 900 with spoiler, since fitment is specific to that configuration. Replace supports in matched condition when the opposite side shows similar wear, and support the hatch securely during service.
