...on the windscreen issue.
1) Most Saab 900's (at least here in Europe) never had SAAB printed on the original windscreen unlike in other windows of the car
2) There are bronze, green and clear glasses. All the same price over here. With a tinted top a few bucks more
3) I know of at least 3 manufacturers of Saab windscreens here in Finland ONLY so it really isn't a speciality item. In fact the glass for Saab is among the cheapest
4) The replacement takes no more than 15 minutes by a pro. The rubber seal is NEVER replaced by a competent specialist unless it is seriously deteoriated. Will cost some big bucks and only available from Saab. A new glass will seal tight without new gasket or any sealant stuff
5) PRICE: just replaced my glass. After a few calls found out the average price for a new glass was about 95 euros / 100 bucks, INSTALLED
I know US is a whole different world but you sound like nuts talking about a >1000 USD windscreen replacement job with new gaskets and stuff. I have replaced my glass in every two-three years or so. One bullseye from a stone and it makes no sense to try repairing the glass in any way. Its nice to have a clear vision.
Hope this helps to put it into perspective,
Jouko
