The best replacement for the OEM blades is Bosch Excel refills. Whereas Saab charges like $25 EACH for new blades, you can get two refills for under $6 and I SWEAR they're the same blades as original spec.
To replace just the blade, first remove them for better access (and to take it to the auto parts store for matching sizes), then using a pair of pliers, release the clamps on one end. If you look closely one end usually has an "end cap" and the other end is free to slide out... Spread the metal "fingers" slightly and slide the blade out (you don't need to spread all the metal fingers). Then slide in the new blade and compress the end clamp. DONE.
