I have the same car (96 900SETC) and had the same problem. A tonneau cover motor from Saab new is basically the same price here ($1200 US) but there are more than a few places selling them more like $400 - $450. Apparently, this was a problem with earlier convertibles like we have, and there was a bracket reinforcment kit available to help prevent the mounting brackets from bending, which I assume is happening to you.
If you were the original owner and have work done at the shop and they didn't install the kit, I would suppose you would have a basis to complain. Otherwise, I think you may be best served by getting a rebuilt motor yourself and saving the cash.
However, before you do that do a search on this board. A few people have reported good results using a hose clamp to reinforce the bracket, and not too long ago someone found a place selling the motor cheaper than I was able to find.
Good luck.
Ian
