My daughter has a 99 9-5 and the SID is also missing a few rows and her A/C has what I've been told is a common problem. It seems that there is a chamber that mixes warm air in with the cold and the mechanism that operates the baffle was made from some flimsy material that is prone to breakage. On really warm days (in Texas) the A/C cannot keep up. The charge is up and the pressures are all normal, it just doesn't cool. The local SAAB shop quoted $900 plus parts to fix it, claiming they know exactly the problem and essentially guaranteed a fix. Unfortunately there are a lot of things that the $900 will go for before fixing the a/c. GWB "R.
