Guess I got lucky.... Posted by MI-Roger [Email] (#882) [Profile/Gallery] (more from MI-Roger) on Sun, 22 Jun 2008 17:55:09 In Reply to: Availability of factory rails, JohnK, Tue, 17 Jun 2008 16:23:17 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
The Service Dept Manager and Body Shop Manager were both very intrigued by the roof rail option on the 9-3SC. In fact, I think they may have removed and re-installed a set from a new car on the lot just to see how they worked!
Regardless, they investigated part numbers of the non-roof rack roof trim strips and ordered them for me. One arrived scratched in the shipping box (in 2006 these were ordered in the body paint color) and the body shop re-painted it within one day at no charge.
The rails and trim strips are shown in my EPC (Electronic Parts Catalog). So there is a new Saab Accessories catalog? Thank goodness, I feared Saab-USA had discontinued all car accessories, concentrating only on over-priced clothing. I need a new license plate frame for our 9-3SC, the OEM frame is heavily pitted with corrosion while the accessory frame on my 2000 9-5 still looks like new!
