The emblem armor may help with stone chips and stuff on the front, but I think the majority of the deterioration is due to UV sunlight, extreme cold, etc... I replaced the front emblem on my 9-5 last year with an OEM part from eEuroparts and it IS manufactured differently. It's got a rubbery coating on it. If I stick my fingernail into it leaves a little indent that slowly pops back up instead of the hard plastic enamel that flakes off. I've never had an emblem last fewer than four or five years. Sixty bucks every five years is not unreasonable if you ask me.
Saab had a campaign within the past couple years where dealers replaced them for free. But dealers only got limited quantities. I think Saab should replace ALL of them forever. It doesn't make the brand look good with people running around with blank silver emblems on their cars.
