As Simon says, there is a technique for opening Saab 9000 doors. When I grab the door handle I push with my thumb on the immovable part and pull with my fingers to open the door. If they are getting really bad I use my thigh to push on the door and pop the door open with my fingers. That's when I know I need to I need to pull the door cards and lube everything up. As a side note the part of the latch you're trying to feel for is a flat piece of sheet metal. I have tried to bend them a little to make the door latch pop a little sooner. Be careful if you do this as too much could make the latch not close properly.
