Just finished installing a Draw Tite Hitch on the wife's 9-5
1 it fit like a glove and is it a stout mother!
2 a little clue is to get a small strand of wire and thread through access holes and body hole where bolts come through.
3 use a little something to adhere the carriage bolt heads to the locking plate I use peal and stick roofing sealer.
4 torque to specs center 10mm bolts first then alternate between right and left side.
whole installation took about 30 minutes start to finish- that works out to be abour $200.00 an hour for the hitch shop. dirt simple no holes to drill three bolts to install + 2 body bolts reused. I did the same job on my 9K Aero using a Saab hitch and it took me two days!
Don't get me wrong the saab hitch is probably the best engineered hitch I have ever installed except Saab design almost attaches to the head lights for structural load path distribution! now if I can just figure out what color wire goes where. couldn't find a connector kit for Saab wiring any where. dealer said they come with the hitch and not a separate part. I doubt that butt!!! BTW the hitch only cost 109.00 + tax vice 300+ for the saab hitch
