...in a windshield replacement.
If you question your dealer he may give you the name of the shop that they use. I know from experience that dealers generally do not replace a windshield; they farm it out to shops that specialize in that type of work.
OEM windshield is a misnomer. Saab does not make windshields; however, the dealer will easily double or triple the price so that you can feel better.
I had the windshield replaced on my former 2000 9-5 at 260K miles; it finally got whacked by a rock. The replacement cost $399 (or maybe it was $299) and worked perfectly.
In conclusion, use someone with a reputation and a lot of experience; a dealer is not the answer. A competent experienced guy can do a fine job.
