Sorry about your dealer. I've seen several posts from you saying how frustrated you are.
I had the same problem and it was killing me. I brought the fix to my dealer posted by Dave:
http://www.geocities.com/astrodave245/saab_93_buzz_fix.html
They supposedly did it, but the buzzing did not go away. I since then got a custom audio system installed and at the same time Dynamated the front doors. This really helps in taking away most of the resonance and actually making the car quieter.
This took away 80% of resonance which actually is there because of space between the door panel (which vibrates) and the orginal foam sheet or Dynamat. So I took the door apart myself and to my dismay found that the dealer had just put some Saab tape and no foam at all. I was furious, but I had had it with my dealer so decided to open the door myself.
Dave's fix is well detailed and the whole thing took me around 40 minutes. The foam between the door panel and Dynamat really helped and my sedan is door-buzz free. I also remedied the other rattle areas as outlined by Dave and many of the rattles coming from the back are gone.
I say get your doors Dynamatted. This will cost around $180 (professionally installed for Extreme Dynamat, which is even more effective) or buy it and do it yourself (cheaper). If you get it done, when the installer takes your door apart, be there and tape foam to the back of your door panels before he puts in back together.
Hope this helps,
Vivek
