The CURT Trailer Hitch, # 11326, is designed to fit the 2006 Saab 9-3 convertible and sedan models. CURT Trailer Hitch # 11415 is designed to fit SportCombi models with single exhaust. Since you have a convertible model, you will want to go with the first one, # 11326.
I have included a link to the installation instructions for this hitch and a link to a video showing a typical installation for you. The hitch comes with a ball mount, hitch pin, and clip. For a ball, use # 19256 (1-7/8... view full answer...
We actually only have a hitch for the 2003 Saab 9-3 between the two vehicles you mentioned with the part # C11326. Hopefully your version of the Thule T2 Pro is the one for the 1-1/4 inch size like part # TH23JV since there isn't a 2 inch hitch that fits your vehicle. view full answer...
For your 2007 Saab 9-3 with factory rails, I recommend the Evo Raised Rail Feet for Thule Crossbars - Factory Raised Rails - Qty 4 # TH710401 which is compatible with the bars you mentioned, that are often simply referred to as square bars even though they are rectangular by measurement. I also recommend the Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders - Qty 4 # TH450400 for increased security.
The manufacturer suggests using 50 inch bars which have been discontinued with this system. You can... view full answer...
If all of the circuits of your trailer harness are illuminating all of the time that would indicate that you did not wire up the harness correctly.
It sounds like the problem is the taillight circuit you used for the harness. You would want to use the circuit that only sees voltage when the running lights are on and not one that is connected to the brake lights. view full answer...
You do have a hitch available for the 2009 Saab 9-3 SportCombi Single, but not for the 2011 Saab 9-5 All Turbo.
For your 2009 Saab 9-3 SportCombi Single Exhaust, I recommend adding the Curt Class I Receiver Hitch, part # C11415. This is a no drill installation that may require trimming some parts of the vehicle underbody. I've included our trailer hitch installation tips article to help your install go as smoothly as possible.
For a rack, you're right in noting that a 55 pound bike... view full answer...
I recommend the Wiring Harness, part # C59496. This kit comes with a circuit tester that helps locate the wires on your Saab you need to attach to. The unit prevents feedback to the electrical system on your vehicle. This system works with LED, incandescent, or standard bulb taillights.
If you do not have a hitch installed on your Saab I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch, part # C11326. This is a Class l hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening.

The only trailer hitch option for a 2006 Saab 9-3 Convertible is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11326 so long as you don't have the SportCombi package or dual exhaust. If you do have both a convertible with SportCombi package or convertible with dual exhaust then there are no trailer hitch options available unfortunately.
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver has a 1-1/4" receiver tube opening and is a bolt-on fit with no drilling required. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver will work... view full answer...
For your 2003 Saab 9-3, the difference between the hitches is connection points to the frame. There is a compatibility issue for the Draw-Tite hitch on a sedan, so the only confirmed fit for your vehicle is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11326. I think you got confused because it was listed twice because it is a fit for a convertible as well as a sedan. I've linked a couple videos of this installation for you.

We have many 2-bike trunk mount carriers that will fit your man's 2004 Saab 9-3 convertible. For a solid carrier that is well made and won't break the bank I recommend the Thule Passage # TH910XT. It secures to the vehicle using 6 straps and it includes anti-sway cradles.
If you want something that is really going to blow him away I recommend the OutWay # TH45JV. This is by far the best trunk mount bike carrier I have used. It attaches to the vehicle using only 2 rubber coated straps so... view full answer...

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...

We have several trunk-mount bike racks that are designed to fit your 2003 Saab 9-3 convertible.
One of the best bike racks I recommend is the Thule OutWay 2 Bike Rack, part # T45JV. This bike rack has rubber-coated straps that let you raise your trunk or hatch without removing it from your vehicle. The cable lock with the One Key System secures the bikes to the rack helping deter theft. This rack folds flat when not being used for easy storage. It has a capacity of 2 bikes and a total... view full answer...
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.
If you can tell me the hitch you are looking at that is similar I can determine how it is different from the hitches that are a fit for your 9-3.
Based on the trailer hitches for your 9-3 I can tell you that the attachment... view full answer...
Since your 2011 Saab 9-3 sedan has single exhaust the correct hitch you need is the Curt # C11326. We confirmed this with our contacts at Curt. view full answer...
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.
The Curt part # C18110 would be a great option confirmed to fit. view full answer...
According to our friends at Curt, for the 2007 Saab 9-3 4dr Sedan, you would use the Class I Receiver Hitch part # 11326. The # C11140 hitch will only fit the SportCombi (wagon) models.
If you will be occasionally transporting your bikes for short distances, the Rhode Gear # RG8015220 rack would be a fine choice. However, the lack of anti-sway cradles and the rather insubstantial hook and loop fasteners that hold the bikes into the cradles would make this rack unsuitable for frequent use... view full answer...
