  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver Compatible with 2001 Saab 9-5 Wagon
  • 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. I double checked with the manufacturer and it is a fit for all 9-5 styles including your Wagon. This hitch will work well for 1-1/4 inch shank bike racks and other accessories. 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...

  • Replacement Roof Rack For A 2007 Saab 9-3
  • 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.

  • Hitch/Bike Carrying Options for 2011 Saab 9-3 Aero Dual Exhaust Sedan
  • According to Curt, they do not have a hitch fit for the 9-3 Sedan with dual exhaust. The # C11140 hitch is a fit for the Sport Combi wagon model, but it won't work on the sedan model because the undercarriage is different at the rear. If you're looking for a way to carry bikes on your vehicle, Thule offers an extremely easy to use trunk mounted rack option, the OutWay, available in a 2 bike version as # TH45JV or a 3 bike version as # TH56BV. Rather than the 6 not-so-easy buckle and strap...

  • What Are the Specifications of the Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier?
  • For the measurement of the arms of the Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier # TH911XT, I pulled the item from the warehouse and the length varies depending on the vehicle. The length is between 29-1/2 inches and 33-1/2 inches from the base that connects to the vehicle to the end of the arms on the rack. I confirmed with Thule that on the Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier # TH911XT, the fastening cradles will clamp onto the bars up and down the rack wherever you wish to place them. Although, the adjustments...

  • Fit of Trunk Mounted Bike Rack on 2005 Saab 9-2X with OEM Spoiler On Hatch
  • 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...

  • Recommended Universal Towing Mirrors for a 2007 Saab 9-7x
  • 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. These are the most popular and well reviewed universal towing mirrors we offer. The adjustable straps allow fitment on a variety of different side mirror styles and sizes. As long as your side mirrors do not exceed 4-1/2" to 11-1/2" tall then they will work well for you. Unfortunately, we do not have any custom fit mirrors available for your vehicle...

  • Yes, Curt trailer hitch # C11326 is the correct hitch for a 2011 Saab 9-3 Convertible with single exhaust. Fun fact: for that generation, all of the motor options except 1 were turbos.

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver to Fit 2008 Saab 9-3 Convertible
  • Since your 2008 Saab 9-3 is a convertible and not a SportCombi you'll use the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11326. I've attached both the instructions as well as an install video to this page for you to take a look at. The install is considered a 7 out of 10 difficulty by Curt so it is more labor intensive than some but it can be performed by someone who has mechanical skills and proper tools.

  • Parts Needed to Tow a Trailer with a 1999 Saab 9-3
  • Your 1999 Saab 9-3 uses a wiring harness with a powered converter to protect the vehicle's wiring. You can use the Curt # C59236 for a 4-way connector. This will power the running, brake, and turn signals of a trailer. I've attached an install video for your. Although it's on a BMW the process will be very similar.

  • Trailer Hitch Options for a 2007 Saab 9-3 Sport-Combi
  • The attachment points on the vehicle that the hitches use are different between the 2007 Saab 9-3 SportCombi models. If you wanted to use the hitch for dual exhaust models on a single exhaust model it can require some modification on the vehicle and the hitch warranty will be voided and it is the same if you used the hitch for the single exhaust on the dual exhaust model. If you have single exhaust then the correct hitch is # C11415. If the vehicle has dual exhaust stay with hitch # C11140....

  • Will the Thule OutWay 2 Bike Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2003 Saab 9-5

I have included a link to the installation details and a link to a video review of the Raceway series of bike racks for you.
