which is repairable. Check these links, it's a job for a competent DIY'er, no rocket science. Buy the gear if yours is stripped and re-flex the motor backing plate per the Saab factory instructions.

This Saab bulletin shows how the motor backing plate twists over time. You employ a pipe wrench to twist it back into alignment (item 6) I was lucky and did not have to reprogram, but that's not always the case. Mind the position of the potentiometer when reassmbling.
It's the price we pay for driving such stylish cars, and BTW, that's American Sunroof Company's engineering prowess on display, Saab sub-contracted all the design and procurement out to them.
Good luck,
John
