Learn how to replace the center armrest in a first-generation Saab 9-5 with a few simple tools. Many of these consoles crack or wear over time like mine did, so replacing the armrest is a relatively quick and inexpensive way to refresh the inside of your Saab.
The car in this video is a 2007 9-5 with the Sport Seating option.
Great guide, thank you!
Having a hard time locating one for the "Dame Edna" style 9-5. Can I grab one from a 99-05? Or will it not work? I see that they have different part numbers vs. the older ones, but look the same.
Pulling the rear plastic cover proved more difficult than I thought. When it finally budged it sounded like I broke something but evidently nothing was wrong. Don’t be afraid to give it a little tug.
just pull up.. something went under my nail.. thats not how it should be
Learning (not had coffee yet)
Nice – thanks! I just purchased an 08 9-5 Aero so leaning much!
