I need the template for where to drill the holes for mounting the windscreen in my 2000 9/3.
Does anyone know where I can download this. I want to make sure I drill the holes in the correct place. Thanks,
Joel

The windscreen is an accessory for the convertible it goes behind the front seat. there is a template for where to drill the hole in the back panels behind the seats. the holes are for the bushings that hold the windscreen in place.

Joel, do you already have a windscreen purchased? Mounting those are a pain in the neck, and I would highly recommend looking for a strap-based system. They are way easier to install and do just as good of job. I personally used Windblox, but you can look around at different options on review sites like windscreenreview.net. Of course, if you like the style then go with what you prefer, but in my opinion strap-on windscreens are highly worth getting.

In the WIS, the windscreen is the windshield. I didn't see anything under accessories. Is this is a Saab product or aftermarket product?... Ron

Yes, a Saab product.

One drills two 1/2 inch holes behind the front seats on the inner side panel near the top of it a bit below the window. Saab provided a plastic grommet which goes in the two new holes, one on each side. The wind screen is two mesh panels one of which lays flat over the rear seats preventing their use. The second panel is hinged and can be folded flat or upright where it blocks the wind when the top is down. Two spring loaded pins on the sides on the lower panel catch the two new holes in the rear side panels to hold it in place, you see them often on all types of convertibles,
