The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class II - 1-1/4" # 36286 is a confirmed fit for your 2001 Saab 9-5 Wagon.

If you will be towing with this hitch, I recommend the 4 Pole Harness and Hardwire Kit # C59496 and ball mount # 36051. Then you will use a hitch ball like # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch... view full answer...
I do have an option for you to consider however, we currently do not sell replacement hardware for a factory roof rack.
I recommend replacing crossbars with a new system such as the Malone SteelTop Universal Roof Rack for Raised Side Rails part # MPG201. The Malone rack system is an extremely affordable option that will accept most aftermarket square bar rooftop accessories.
I have included a video review of this crossbars for you. view full answer...

Typically, we do not recommend using a trunk mount rack on a vehicle with a spoiler on the top of the hatch unless it is a floating spoiler that would allow the strap/hook to pass underneath it.
However, I spoke with one of the product fit folks at Thule who tell me that the spoiler on your particular vehicle is indeed robust enough that you can safely pass the top rack straps over it without causing any harm.
The Thule Gateway Pro should work very well for you, but I would also recommend... view full answer...
If you are wanting to add a set of towing mirrors to your 2007 saab 9-7x, I recommend the K-Source Universal Towing Mirrors part # KS3891-2.

Unfortunately, we do not have any custom fit mirrors available for your vehicle... view full answer...
