I have one of the Brookstone cup holders that I bought for my 96 9000. The clips that are provided do not really match the Saab vents that well. The other set clamp shut onto the vent and you cannot easily remove the cup holder. One day I forgot to check it and drove off with a full cup of coffee in the holder. I hit a bump and the clips dislodged and the coffee spilled on me and the driver's side floor. If the cover had stayed on the cup it wouldn't have been too bad. The cup hit the turn signal arm and bounced off the dash so the cover came off.
