I am checking with the Saab Dealer near me to see if they will do it at
no cost under warranty. If not, then I am going to go to another
independent to get the stuff. I very much dislike the dealer near me,
and the only reason I go there is to get free warranty service done.
Other than that, its not worth the pain. I'd even pay more to go
somewhere else, but it is almost always less when I go elsewhere.
