I assume you are speaking of the under body rubber items? I too thought they had something to do with stone protection, etc, but recently discovered that these underbody "flippers" are actually an integral part of the body aerodynamics. They are called "vanes", and they have an impact on the underbody air flow. SAAB is not an airplane company for nothin! I think this is a very obscure bit of Saab lore, as virtually everybody calls them mudflaps. If you would like my source, I will dig it up on my Saab bookshelf.
