Re: 1999 9-3 Base Wiper Blades Replacement Posted by SWEDECAR [Email] (#112) [Profile/Gallery] (more from SWEDECAR) on Tue, 27 Sep 2005 19:32:35 In Reply to: 1999 9-3 Base Wiper Blades Replacement, Scott Paterson [Profile/Gallery] , Tue, 27 Sep 2005 14:01:42 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
To be technical the Saab P/N is 5582549 ($15.00 each) for left and right side.
On the 9-3 (as for the NG900) you can use a 21" Bosch blade and the short number is 40721.
Bosch have been the superior brand for a long time but have lately cheapen out in their design and use less quality plastic guide strip for the rubber. This have created a problem on certain models like the C900 conv and the 9-5 where the blade doesn't "hug" the windshield as good as it used to do.
On the 9-5 I have starting to use the Saab OEM because of this and that the Saab retail price is pretty much the same as the Bosch price.
Saabs wiper blades are made by Valeo.
