Be weary of ebay seats. It's pretty easy to make them look spiffy in the online photos, but that doesn't mean they aren't without issues. Ask questions before bidding. Saab seats have issues with the sheaths that hold the tufting wires degrading over time. Many of the seats on ebay haven't been repaired, so once you get them you'll still have to have an upholsterer do the repair. I was looking at a set on ebay once and asked the seller about the condition of the wire sheaths and got a reply that; "saab people expect them to be like that". Not the answer I was looking for from a set of "mint" "rare" seats.
The typical hole in the DS left bolster can be repaired by using the left bolster from a PS seat. They are both the same. I've gone to a salvage yard with a pocket knife and just cut the stitching on a seat to get that panel from an otherwise unusable seat. You can have an auto upholstery shop swap it in for you.
