I did this a few years ago without taking out all the above

I places two really thin cutlery knifes into the gap where the clips are on the top and pulled the cup holder out

Worked really well for me

You just need to know where the clips are on the top

Mr Omlette says:

Amazing.been watching your channel for a few years now.and I'm really impressed how it has grown.thease how to videos are fantastic.the amount of people come on the forum I work on, and ask how to remove that center air vent,or they brake it by trying to remove it, this video fully explained that process.will be linking this video.
Keep up the fantastic content.im glad to see someone younger than myself who really love's his saabs and wants to keep them on the road.your an inspiration to everyone.

Edward 86 says:

All this is just stupid work. I can remove it in 1 min. Saab has a tool for it.

Juan M says:

Great video. perfect explanation and pace. Thanks for posting. Now to find a replacement cupholder.

DerbJd says:

How rattly is the interior on your Saab’s? And if so, have you thought of doing a video on removing them?

fix your cd player next

John Baldwin says:

Hope you do one for the 'Radio Code' that shows up on your SID?
Whether you need a Tech2 programming done or just to enter the factory 4 digit code to unlock the radio and/or the separate CD player in the trunk [ with a different SID message ] for either the 9-5 or 9-3?
Depends on what generation of Saab due to the anti-theft prevention or that your battery was removed or died that caused the either SID message of Radio Lock or Radio Code?
Married device and/or Divorced… the SID code can show up if you replaced your old radio module with another factory radio purchased online that may not match your vehicle because it was 'married' and have to pull another code to get it working after being 'divorced'?
Have you ever ran into an issue when battery power was disconnected for a long period of time or have replaced your radio for another factory radio but getting the code error?

J Nilsson-Acosta says:

Have you seen the trailer for TENET? Looks like they wrecked a perfectly good SAAB NG 9.5!
What's up with film makers crashing perfectly good and very rare SAABs?
Sideways, and now TENET.

Lance Friended says:

Lol I didn't even think about removing the radio when i did my cupholder. I like you tip with the cards but I used a tiny pick to get the clips inside the vents and it was pretty easy last time I did it. First time was rough though.

Jared Ubelhor says:

That looks like a pain in the butt. Luckily both of mine still work, and are strictly off limits to avoid this. They're clearly not designed for American bucket sized drinks.

Patrick Bolmeyer says:

Common problem and you made it an easy DIY, even for those who aren't mechanically inclined. Nice job!

Alan Funt says:

The cupholder on the 9-5 was definitely a better design and it's as though the redesign for the 9-3 was really an exercise in just being clever. I can see why they end up breaking on the 9-3 as the action is much faster and they even sound more flimsy than on the 9-5. Luckily an easy swap!

Holds a 12oz beer real good

Logan Kelly says:

Love me some good Saab cup holder content 😉 How's the 3D printed one holding up?
