  • Recommended Square Bar Roof Rack Mounts For Ski and Snowboard Rack for 2007 Saab 9-3
  • 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...

  • How to Wire Trailer Clearance Lights with Black and Red Wires
  • The brown wire for your trailer wiring should be for the running lights while the white wire should be for ground. Typically clearance lights use black for power and white for ground, like part # MCL32AB, but in the case of black and red wiring the black is typically ground while the red is for power. This can vary between products but you can simply touch the black power from the light to the white wire from the trailer wiring and then the red wire to your brown wire. If that doesn't...

  • How Does Trailer Wiring Install on a 2008 Saab 9-3
  • I attached a set of installation instructions for the wiring kit you have part # C59496 to the right. But basically, some vehicles (like yours I believe) combine the stop and taillight functions onto one circuit. These vehicles will require that you attach the trailer light power module red stop wire to that same circuit on the vehicle and then ground the brown tail light circuit. Some vehicles combine stop and tail light functions onto 1 circuit and then also have an additional tail...

  • Do You Have to Run the Power Cord to Battery on 4flat Trailer Wiring on 2001 Saab 9-5
  • Hello John. I have heard of people splicing into that wiring connector in the wheel well. However, it is recommended to run the power cord to your vehicles battery. This is to ensure that the converter is getting the right amount of power to run the trailer lights, which in return also protects your vehicles sensitive electrical system. By installing the wiring any other way than what the manufacturer recommends can be harmful to your vehicle. I have also attached an article about routing...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver Options For A 1999 Saab 9-3
  • Hey Bruce, We unfortunately do not offer a custom fit hitch for a 1999 SAAB 9-3. You would have to go with a weld-on hitch and figure out the correct drop to clear the rear fascia. We don't have any schematics for this so I recommend reaching out to a local fabrication/welding company to determine the best fit/mounting points. We offer the following weld-on hitches: Draw-Tite 7" Drop # 41990-07 Curt 3" Drop # 15901 9" Drop # C47CR 10.865" Drop # 15902 11-1/2" Drop # 15903

  • Are Fulton and CE Smith Trailer Fenders Comparable
  • There is a slight difference in the designs of the Fulton fender # F008584 and the CE Smith Fender # CE19504 but other than appearance there isn't a whole lot of difference. I have stood on a Fulton fender before and it did flex but it didn't feel like it was overly stressed or that it would break. I have not stood on a CE Smith fender.

  • Differences Between CURT Hitches # 11415 and # 11326
  • I spoke with my contact at CURT and he pointed out to me that the difference between the CURT Hitch # 11415 and # 11326 is the way the plate behind the hitch opening mounts to the bumper beam tab. On the # 11415 the plate on the hitch will go in front of the bumper beam tab, whereas the plate from the # 11326 will install behind the bumper beam tab. Check out the picture I attached that shows both of these hitches next to each other so you can see the differences. I also attached installation...

  • 2006 Saab 9-3 Aero with Dual Exhaust Trailer Hitch Compatibility
  • If your 2006 Saab 9-3 Aero is the Sportcombi with dual exhaust, you will need the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Class I # C11140. If you don't have the Sportcombi model then there is not currently a fit for your dual exhaust model. The # C11326 which is a fit for the sedan and convertible models is not a fit for SportCombi models or models with dual exhaust.

  • Curt Echo Trailer Brake Controller With 7-Way Round Pin Trailer Connection
  • The Curt Echo Trailer Brake Controller # C51180 needs to have a 7-way blade connector on both the tow vehicle as well as the trailer. The Custer Trailer Connector Adapter # ADP7R-7B that you found is designed to adapt a vehicle with a 7-way round pin connector to allow a trailer with a 7-way blade connection to be towed. It will not work properly with your trailer having a 7-way round pin male connector. The Pollak Trailer Connector Adapter # PK12728 will convert the 7-way round pin...

  • Removing Stuck Yakima Lock Core & Replacement Lock Cores
  • There isn't any type of special removal available for a stuck Yakima lock core, as it sounds like you tried the only remedy that we generally suggest, which is a lubricant. Otherwise, the only way to remove it really is by having it drilled out; while you may be able to do this we recommend a locksmith so no parts of the rack get damaged. Once it is out safely you can replace the cores with the Yakima Same Key System (SKS) Lock Cores (QTY 4) # Y07204 or (QTY 2) # Y07202. I have added...

  • 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....

  • Replacement Parts for Thule 600 Cargo Box to Fit Thule AeroBars
  • You will want to pick up a Replacement QM3 kit, part # TH04997 . This includes all the pads, bolts, screws and plates to completely replace the mounting hardware. I went to our warehouse and measured the mounting bracket and screws, and they together measure wide enough to hold a 3-1/2 inch wide by 1-1/2 inch tall ( 88.9mm by 38.1mm) sized Thule Wingbar.

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2007 Saab 9-5
  • I am sorry but there are no 2" hitches available for a 2007 Saab 9-5. I checked with our vendors and it doesn't look like they ever made a 2" hitch for your car. The only hitch that is available is the smaller Curt Hitch item # C11831. This is a class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver. The Curt Hitch item # C11831 still has a 2,500 lbs towing capacity and a 250 lbs maximum tongue weight even though it is a smaller 1-1/4" hitch. If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness...

  • Hitch Recommendation for a 2008 Saab 9-3 with Dual Exhaust
  • The Curt Hitch part # C11140 would be the correct hitch for your 2008 Saab 9-3 with dual exhaust. I checked with Curt to confirm this. If you plan on doing some towing you would want the part # 119179KIT for trailer wiring, # C45521 for a ball mount, # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch hitch ball, # 19258 for a 2 inch ball. Or for a bike rack the Swagman XTC # S64670 is a great rack. This is one of our most popular racks with our customers. It is a great rack at a great price that has a ton of...

  • Class II Trailer Hitch Availability for 2007 Saab 9-3
  • We do offer the Curt # C11326 for the 2007 Saab 9-3, including the sedan and convertible. This is a fit unless it has dual-exhaust or a SportCombi model. However, this is a light-duty Class I hitche. We offer no Class II hitches for your vehicle. To a degree the development of hitches for vehicles will be based on the vehicle's capacity, in your case a quoted 3500-lb towing capacity. Certainly, a vehicle with such towing capacity would seem to merit a Class II hitch option. Unfortunately,...
