You can do them yourself. Quite simple, just pull back the door weather stripping and you'll expose the mounting holes for the rack. As far as putting it on without scratching the roof, the rack kit will come with plastic little booties for one side of the rack. You'll want to rest that side of the rack first on the roof, while mounting the opposite side of the rack, then take the booties off and mount the other side afterwards. If your worried about paint damage, I suggest laying down a rag or towel on the roof to prevent any contact with the paint. I however don't worry about minor paint scratches. Saabs have much better paint quality then your typical domestic/japanese brands. So rust shouldn't be any issue regardless of a few nics and scratches.
