Assuming you're talking about the "inside metal-like fuss/canvas" style window material, then go to the following post on Saabnet. This is exactly the advice I received, exactly what I did and the RS part fit perfectly. I actually think the RS owner or family has an 850. So depending on who you're talking to, they're easy to talk to about Saabs. Have them cut down to reduce shipping costs.
It's better to have the window out, which isn't technically that hard. You'll need all your existing Saab metal snaps to clip the new RS item onto the doors metal channel. Take a Dremel plastic cutter to cut to size as well as the ~3/4 cut necessary to get the front portion of the weather strip to follow metal frame (front).

Good luck, it's not hard. Technically nothing is hard on these cars.
FYI...If you're looking for the outside rubber seal that rests onto of the exterior door wiping the window, then Ashcraft &/or Don Levesque are your best sources. I suspect RS has that part as well but never did the research.
FYI...If your're looking for the felt like material that goes along the top of the window inserting into the door frame that seals the window while shut...I don't have a clue. I simply removed, painted door & used the original material.
