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 weight capacity of 66 lbs. You can take a look at the attached product review video for this rack.

For a bike rack that is less expensive I recommend the Thule Passage, part # TH910XT. This bike rack has 6 nylon straps to secure the bike rack to your Saab, and has the patented FitDial system to make sure it is a proper fit. I have also attached a review video for this bike rack.

If you are planning on carrying bikes with alternative frames like kids or women's bikes, I recommend using an adapter bar like part # 64005. This attaches between the seat post and the handlebar stem and allows the bike to be carried more level in the carrier while providing more ground clearance. I have attached a link to a product review for this adapter bar you can check out.
