I think there were 2 distinct seat types and I'll call them the "early" and "late" styles. I'm reluctant to define a precise span of years as I've read in this forum that some people got the late style seats in earlier Saab 900 production years.
An '85? That's most likely the early style.
A '93? That's most likely the late style.
But the years inbetween? It gets a little complicated somewhere in there...
The early style has the seat-back-release as a press-down lever at the seat-back/seat-bottom corner while the late style uses a seat-back release lever located up around shoulder-height on the seat-back outside edge and this lever raises or pivots upwards. This is the most obvious way to distinguish seat types (at least I think).
The early seat-bottom skins will not fit on the late seat-bottoms; there are distinct dimensional differences that can't be solved by "snugging" things up and pulling a little "tighter;" the early style skins are too large on the bottom and use a different stay-wire that doesn't fit with the late style.
The seat-back skins MAY be interchangeable but I can't comment from experience.
If you have the corner press-down lever, you have the early style seats. If you have the shoulder-height pull/pivot-up lever, you have the late style seats.
Discerning the proper beige is a problem from the color-swatch card alone.
I think that color-swatch sample card needs to be laid down on top of the old seat skin and maybe another snapshot taken before deciding which beige is the best. Maybe additional snapshots of different parts of the seat would be helpful to help discern the subtleties, even using the back-seat to help distinguish.
The return-shipping cost is considerable on top of Lseat's restocking fee should you need to return your order. I'm trying to help make the process a correct set of calls so Lseat doesn't charge you extra based on muffed specifications on your initial order.
You need to shoot a bullseye on the order sheet.
