It is easy to replace the current mirror by just carefully prying off the current mirror, disconnecting the two defroster wire, connecting the new mirror wires, and then pushing the new mirror on until it snaps in place. The mirrors are held into the side mirror assembly by a plastic 'snap' ring on the back of the mirror.
As long as you are repalcing the mirror, you might see if the dealer can get the "asperic" or wide angle mirror. The Saab P/N 48-18-050 is for the driver's side (in the USA) wide angle mirror. My understanding is that the SAAB "aspheric" mirror is standard for both the driver and passenger side....in Europe and other markets. The USA DOT requires a flat mirror on the driver side so as not to "confuse" the driver (Remember the USA DOT mandated "objects in mirror are closer than they appear" message on convex side mirrors so as not to "confuse" drivers).
