Stuff like that is the worst part of owning a Saab. Even getting your hands on a service manual is a pain in the ass- and then there's the price when you find someone who'll actually sell you one.
So many times, my friends have asked my why I have to go to the dealership to change my personal preferences. They're surprised at that- especially when they're doing their own setups on Pontiacs and Oldsmobiles!
Is Saab trying to impress on us the fact that they're cars are very complex and out of the capability of the average owner to repair? I am confident I can repair anything that might break on that car, with the exception of things which require a Tech 2 computer (and I'm talking engine management issues here- I think I can program my door locks without any special training. My dealer can't even get the programming right anyways, but don't get me started)
Basically, If you don't feel comfortable working on your own car, by all means- have a Saab dealership (or an indy mechanic) do the repairs. Don't tell me I cannot service my own car though!
