Is this a classic 9-3 rather than the later 9-3 S****ts Saloon (Sedan)? I
believe a 2002 convertible is the C9-3, in which case, you need to check
the
bulkhead hasn't cracked.
Rather than detail a cracked bulkhead here, can I suggest you check out

My diesel five door had a cracked bulkhead, which was fixed by Saab free
of
charge.
