- Trailer hitches are custom designed to fit specific mounting points on a vehicle. If a hitch is not listed as a fit for your 2008 Saab 9-3 then it physically will not fit. Cost of a hitch will vary based on the design of the hitch and the amount of material used to make it.

view full answer... - Is the Thule Helium Aero Bike Rack Rust Proof and as Stable as Platform Bike Racks
- The Thule Helium Aero, # TH9042PRO, features built-in anti-rattle and anti-sway cradles with road dampening technology so once properly installed and loaded it will be on par in terms of stability with platform style racks.
Since the bike rack is made of aluminum and automotive grade plastics corrosion will not be nearly as much of an issue as it is with steel racks. Some of the internal components may be susceptible though. I recommend hosing off the rack with fresh water before storing...

- For a vehicle like your 2009 Saab 9-3 sedan that only has 1-1/4 inch hitches like the # C11326 available you will have to go with a 1-1/4 inch compatible carrier instead of the # C18100 which only fits 2 inch hitches.

view full answer... - What is Roof Weight Capacity of 2005 Saab 9-2x For Roof Cargo Bag
- I was able to pull up the owners manual of your 2005 Saab 9-2x and they list a 100 lb roof rack capacity for your vehicle. I wouldn't recommend carry 100 lbs directly on the roof of your vehicle though.
For a bag that is designed to fit vehicles with naked roofs as well as ones with roof racks you would want the Rightline Ace 2 part # RL100S20 which can carry up to 15 cubic feet of storage space. Check out the review video I attached for more info.

- You do have a hitch available for the 2009 Saab 9-3 SportCombi Single, but not for the 2011 Saab 9-5 All Turbo.

view full answer... - Platform Bike Rack for Class I Hitch Recommendation Similar to Swagman Semi 2.0
- I have a similar bike rack to the Swagman Semi 2.0 part # S64686 that you referenced that is Class I compatible but you are correct this only fits Class II and up hitches. The Thule T2 Pro XTR part # TH23JV is what the Semi was designed after and is Class I compatible and by many is considered a gold standard for bike racks. It's also priced nearly identical. This would be the best choice for sure. I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Replacement Thule Fit Kit Recommendation for 2008 Saab 9-3 for Thule Aeroblade Roof Rack
- Thule doesn't offer replacement parts for their fit kits like the part # THKIT3065 which is the correct kit to use on your 2008 Saab 9-3 with the bars # TH7601B-TH7602B.
The reason they give us is that they get the kits directly from Sweden pre-assembled so they can't split them up for replacement parts. So you'd have to order a new fit kit then.
The part you mentioned is actually for a bike rack so it wouldn't work at all.

- Based on my research, the 2001 Saab is not designed to be flat towed behind an RV or motorhome. Doing this may cause damage to the vehicle.
The only recommended way to tow your 2001 Saab 9-3 is with a Tow Dolly like the Roadmaster # RM-2050-1.
