My car was towed over the weekend by a team of trained gorillas and now I have a broken front foglight lens on the passenger side. My local AutoZone can't get me the part (because, you see, "The Best Part Is Their People," and the other parts you'll have to get, yourself.) The service manager at my Saab dealer quoted my $217 for the repair, which he said entails replacing the entire assembly. I find this difficult to stomach. From reading the manual, it appears that this lens isn't terribly difficult to replace. Can anyone suggest a source for a replacement so I could try it, myself? On a related note: I'm sending the towing company a Xerox of the manual page where Saab warns not to flat tow the car using an attachment other than the tow points. Their driver tells me "I don't know nuthin' 'bout 'tow points,' we jus' wrap a chain to the frame." Though my fluency in Gerogia Redneck is limited, I am not encouraged by this statement. Any stories of actual damage to a car that I can pass along? Thanks, Duncan
