Perhaps I'm doing something wrong but I don't think so. A good use of the airco should do it ( I only know European temps but switch it on auto and set it on 21 degrees Celsius. If that doesn't work increase the fan-speed manually and press the window switches on the airconditioning on. Then increase the temperature slightly if it still doesn't work. >- I don't like the order of the "windshield wiper clicks".

Unfortunately (well, maybe not) the doors are very safe constructed and the space is therefore more limited). Congratulations with your 9-3. Welcome to the Saab-lovers. Johan.
