I broke one taking out the fuel line prior to doing a fuel pump. I was being pretty gentle, since I've been aware of the recall.
It was after hours saturday, so I epoxied the clip and that seemed good enough to hold, but not if the assembly ever needed to come out again. I just waited to reassemble till after the dealer opened on monday, and spent the big $3. A no brainer. But once again, Saab probably should have done the recall across the board.... sort of the DI situation (mine's had at least 2) all over again.
FWIW, my 9-5 (assembled in mid 1998) did not have the cut out in the carpet, and I had to take out the seat back and pull the carpet to get to it.
