FIX YOUR SUNROOF, FINALLY!! DRIVE WITH THE TOP OPEN ONCE AGAIN!!
After more than a year of several attempts to produce these, I am proud to present these Saab Sunroof Clips to repair/replace your broken clips and fix your sunroof. The original clip is part of the sunroof mechanism and attaches to the wind deflector. Unfortunately. the original plastic part breaks easily through wear and was not properly designed by Saab for repeated use. To make matters worse, Saab no longer sells the clip individually. In order to get the clip, it is necessary to purchase an entire wind deflector assembly which comes with the clips attached to the deflector arms. Some people have detached the deflector arms so that the sunroof works, but by detaching the arms wind noise and buffeting is increased.
Fortunately, I have been able to produce these clips out of stronger ABS plastic which should last longer than the original part. In addition, we have beefed up the areas where the clips normally break, so that it is less likely to fail. We have increased the size of the tab connecting the clip to the wind deflector arm and added more material to make it substantially stronger.
Models
I made these clips to repair the sunroof on my 2004 9-5 Aero, but these clips should work with most models which use the clips pictured below. Please verify fitment for your model before ordering.
Sunroof Clip Repair Kit
The kit will include 2 brand new clips, full color installation instructions, and free shipping anywhere in the the United States; additionally shipping cost for international orders ($15) outside the United States. This repair kit will enable you to repair your sunroof and wind deflector setup so that return your car to better than stock. The original wind deflector reduces buffeting and wind noise while the sunroof is open.
Time to Install
15-20 minutes; EASY install.
Tools Needed
Small-sized screwdriver and needlenose pliers. These will be used to remove the pin holding the deflector arm to the clip, and the deflector arm to the assembly (front of car).
Installation Overview
The Repair Kit includes a nine (9) page full-color, detailed set of instructions. Essentially, the steps require removing the metal retaining pin from the damaged clip, swapping it into the new clip and inserting into the corresponding tab for the deflector arm. It can be done while on the car, but it is easiest and fastest to take the deflector arm off the vehicle. The instructions have all the information. There is no need to remove the headliner, etc.
Benefits
- Repair your sunroof and restore normal use and function
- Repair normal function and use of wind deflector
- More durable and unlikely to ever break
- The kit includes 2 clips to last a lifetime
