Saab 9-3 Quick Fix - Mirror Glass

[@tonywarren2549]

Literally just snapped the new mirror in 35 seconds ago using ur video. Thank you so much! Cheers

[@davesrc1678]

Thank you very much. I heard you met the owners of Saab Service shop from Springfield MO recently

[@jasondmmd]

Thank you, so much, for saving me from paying labor for someone else to do it when it was a relatively easy fix

[@AutoAutopsy]

😁👍🏼

[@philiptone4709]

Very helpful. I also ordered from eSaabParts for my 2006 because I was concerned a non-OEM part wouldn't be right. Toughest part was getting the heater wires off -- they had been on there for 15 years.

[@AutoAutopsy]

Lol yeah they can be stuck on there pretty good

[@tylerwitmer3769]

Thank you for the perfect timing! I cracked my mirror recently and wasnt sure on how to take old mirror off

[@AutoAutopsy]

Glad it helped!

[@tylerwitmer3769]

@@AutoAutopsy yeah i realized that i'm not going to order the mirror off amazon, yet. i realized that id need the plastic thing too not just a 3m tape on mirror, esaab is the way to go lol

[@mcdonaldgc3020]

It happened to me yesterday... Since I'm working on the Saab thanks to the state of California .. nice one .. the saab passed smog but fail the drive cycle in which I had no idea ... I mean the homie hooked it up at the smog before.

[@AutoAutopsy]

Right on! lol

[@tachimachine]

Thank you thank you thank you sooo much!! This was a super, easy to follow video! I'm so glad you posted this, now I don't have to wait for anyone to help me out with it!

[@tonywarren2549]

Awesome video! Mirror fell off this morning as soon as I merged on to the interstate.

[@AutoAutopsy]

Oh no 😭

[@YearsOfLeadPoisoning]

Had both go on my current and previous 93s. I just used 3M double sided tape on the black plastic housing and they've stayed put and still heat up fine.

[@AutoAutopsy]

thanks for the tip; unfortunately both times it's happened to me they've fallen and shattered :(

[@YearsOfLeadPoisoning]

@@AutoAutopsy I've had to order new glass for 3 of the 4 times as well. You don't realize how often you use a mirror until it's gone lol

[@LLG3p]

I love ur videos best in depth videos for saab users especially makes it real easy to work on or find things about the car💯

[@AutoAutopsy]

Thank you

[@terminal-velocity111]

Such a good vid! Wished I’d had this when I set upon swapping out my smoked wing mirrors 😭

[@AutoAutopsy]

:(((

[@Jussayinisall]

Thanks for all your tips and info!! I noticed the black sealing is cracked slightly on the mirror the same way mine is(where the front and back meet, mines much worse), do you have a video on how to remove the mirror to replace that? I was going to use something like flexseal caulking but wasn't sure if getting the old seal out was detrimental? Thanks again!!

[@AutoAutopsy]

i don't so im not sure. i've never looked into it!

[@guitarlover302]

Have lime green 05 Aero convertible - had wing mirror casings painted in rich black metallic as spoiler on boot and tonneau surround to add some variety ! replacing mirrors as now sixteen years old - going to clean motor and apply some WD 40 to electrical connections etc for future purposes

[@AutoAutopsy]

👊🏼👍🏼

[@alexrautu9451]

Kiitos paljon. Hieno video auttoi minua paljon.

[@AutoAutopsy]

👍🏼😁

[@georgekolotouros9176]

If the powerfold is not working ,can i get it on its own or should i get the whole mirror ? Very helpful video indeed.

[@AutoAutopsy]

I have no experience with that, sorry! US cars did not come with them :((

[@alexcastillo986]

No joke the mirror on my passenger side fell off 2 days ago... what a coincidence thanks for the video

[@AutoAutopsy]

Sorry to hear that lol

[@scottharperesq]

Thank you. It took me about a minute to do.

[@AutoAutopsy]

Great!

[@SJSOmar]

Can’t wait for that turbo upgrade video

[@AutoAutopsy]

:)

[@FMJRaven]

So if my power mirrors don't work whatsoever whats my go to to fixing that? Because my mirror was about to fall off but friend of mine just took some good glue and glued it back to the end it was on

[@AutoAutopsy]

Could just be the motor that’s bad, maybe a fuse. I wouldn’t know

[@reinislacis7197]

Couple days ago fixed the same problem! 👍

[@AutoAutopsy]

Good to hear!

[@CarlittaAnn]

I just changed mine thanks to this video! Thank you!!!

[@AutoAutopsy]

Glad I could help!

[@motleywells]

Thanks

[@AutoAutopsy]

:)

[@Prymasek]

In 9-5 1998 year it the same way to do it, idk about the part number. If You use not oem part the vission is kinda different so I advise to look for a cheap used oem part ;)

[@AutoAutopsy]

it's OEM!

[@clxyswrld1852]

What’s the best way to clean under my hood cause I have the same car “The Engine”

[@AutoAutopsy]

i just use simple green lol

[@clxyswrld1852]

Auto Autopsy ok thanks 😂

[@Arni932]

Is the mirror on the older saab the same as the newer. Great work my friend

[@AutoAutopsy]

Thanks! If it's 2003 or newer, yes. Not sure about older 9-3's or saabs

[@DavidKingOfJalopys]

Once again thank you kindly

[@mchuo7834]

That mirror falling off seems to be a common issue. Happened on my Sportcombi

[@AutoAutopsy]

yeah :(

[@johndogaru5410]

Same here🎉 but i can’t click in back that easy. Just took a break to relax

[@kenellycineus7094]

Really help me thank you!!

[@AutoAutopsy]

Happy to help!

[@جنجرمفيد]

Brilliant thanks so much 🌹

[@AutoAutopsy]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@HoroRH]

Thx! My rh mirror just fell off my 2007 93

[@AutoAutopsy]

happy I can help!

[@ragejr.5707]

Is heated mirrors a common thing on the 9-3's? If I've got it, how do I turn it on?

[@Prymasek]

In 9-5 it turns on with rear heated window switch.

[@hyrulejourney1205]

Turns on automatically with the rear defroster

[@AutoAutopsy]

^ yep

[@hyrulejourney1205]

Do all mirror assemblies rotate like that ? Mines are jammed and I'm affraid to break something

[@ml9794]

Hyrule Journey mine are jammed too

[@alanfunt4013]

I'm pretty sure they do (my 9-5 ones do) but go easy if they haven't been done for a while.

[@AutoAutopsy]

it should rotate!

[@MG-qk8tx]

Why does noone mention the part number? For just the glass replacement & then the complete assembly shown in the video. Yes, I know the full complete assy would also include the painted housing as well as just primed, ready to be painted. I think mine is part number Saab 30496. I would like confirmation. TIA

[@browserrr1]

When the heater wires are switched the glass will heat up backwards 😁.

[@AutoAutopsy]

lol

[@davidbassenghi6547]

Great job, thanks a lot !

[@AutoAutopsy]

:)

[@Cain-i9r]

You are awesome I really appreciate

[@AutoAutopsy]

Happy to help!

[@fernandodimeo7419]

Thank you!

[@AutoAutopsy]

You bet!

[@Peder7berg]

Thanks a bunch! ❤

[@AutoAutopsy]

glad it helped!

[@eddiepizarro1296]

I did in my the passenger side already 👍

[@AutoAutopsy]

:)

[@weez.3x744]

Big question. I have a 2005 saab and my climate control is starting too wear, is it possible to put a 2007 cluster in a 2005? They look like they’re the same size but I don’t want to buy one and be let down.

[@AutoAutopsy]

no, the updated interior is completely different. you have to find one that identical, which shouldn't be hard.

[@clivehaggis1397]

Little job I’ve got to do in morning

[@cinrambrad]

No one needs heated mirrors in AZ, it's always a million degrees there....................

[@AutoAutopsy]

not always ;)

[@User_76ytrl]

Hello my friend nice 👍

[@AutoAutopsy]

thanks!

[@maxholt2869]

This legit just happened to me

[@AutoAutopsy]

:(

[@mcdonaldgc3020]

Two days I went on a car wash with the rollers it fell I was like what was that.. I thought it was " fake mirror" plastic...

[@AutoAutopsy]

rip :/

[@airmaxfrank9175]

Yea the 9-5 is the same

[@AutoAutopsy]

indeed!
