Yup, they sure do, if you check the link in the description to our site we include all the fitment information along with the part, you’ll see both 9-5 and 9-3 are included on that list. Hope that helps!
Do the same rollers work on the rear windows of an 02 9-3? I haven’t been able to find a definitive answer anywhere online. Thanks!
Perfect!! Exactly what was wrong with my 9-5, job done happy days :)
BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Wow….. I can’t believe we were able to do this… BOTH front windows broke – got the driver side done – now the passenger side (when it cools off a bit!) – THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!
Excellent video. Thanks so much.
That could explain it!
I have a UK 1999 9-5 estate 2.3L petrol,SE spec.
Possibly the most comfortable car I have ever owned.
Truly excellent video.
The model in the video does not have airbags in the door, which year/model do you have? So folks know when to watch for it.
I have just done this job, and it was exactly as you described.
The only thing I would say is that you need to be aware of the warning on the vapour barrier about the side air bag sensor.
In view of this, it may be best to disconnect the battery, but if you do you can’t move the window mech to line up the scissor action and glass runners.
I took a chance and didn’t disconnect it, and I have lived to tell the tale…but be careful.
No sense guessing, get a read on that check engine light and move on from there.
Sooo kewl of u to post this! Very informative……just got 2001 93 for a steal! Relatively high miles( 147,000+), have any suggestions as to what I should have checked out first? I noticed that the check engine light came on, but it runs very well! The turbo seems strong….I’d like to keep this vehicle running for as long as possible, so anything you can suggest would be useful.
DUD THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH BEST VIDEO ON THE TUBE …..
GONA DO IT MYSELF 1ST THING 2MORO….GOD BLESS
Quite possibly the most useful video I have seen on Youtube. Thanks.
So the mechanics are the same for a 2003 Saab 9-3? My passengers window falls off the track or regulator, I have wooden wedges holding it up now. I’m about to purchase the rollers I hope that’s all it is.
They’re similar, but a slightly different shape, check the description above, I’ve put a link in there to our site where you can purchase them for just a few bucks. Hope that helps.
Does a 2003 Volvo S60 use the same rollers? Where can someone purchase these rollers?
I believe they are the same rollers in the back, but the regulator is different, so you may have to remove it differently. Let us know how you fare once you get in there.
i know this iz a bit old but can anybody tell me if the rear windowz uze the same rollerz?
ive been driving around with a bad window for months now. so glad i found this video. thank you so much
I’ve been told you can avoid the difficulty of positioning the clips on the rollers after the window is positioned by leaving the clips on the rollers while the window is still out. The explanation was that the spindle on the regulator will snapp past the clip just as it does the roller with pressure. Have you tried this? Does anyone else know if it works?
Like your tats man!
@nissepissed You’ll have to take the door panel off to see for sure. The green rollers are quite often the culprit.
Hey and thank you so much for the help. I have some trouble with my driver window. I’m not sure whether it’s the regulator or the two green regulator rollers that need changing. I know that there are no clips. Maybe I should buy some new ones and see if that fixes the problem. How do I know if I should change the whole regulator or the green regulators? (The motor is fine though!)
Thank you so much guys!
Glad we could help!
I have this issue on both of my front windows. I’m now confident to do the job on my own.
Thanks.
I believe it is quite similar but I can’t seem to gather the information on exactly how similar. Hopefully someone else here can weigh in with a useful experience on an s80.
I have the same problem on my volvo s80. Do you think i can fix it in same way?
Glad we could help!
Great video, thanks for posting. all these videos make DIY on my Saab so much easier. Very much appreciated.
Clear and concise instructions
Excellent video. I’ve done this job myself but found it extremely difficult to get the ball joints to pop into the rollers and had to use a G clamp at one point. I’m not exactly feeble either. Guess I just had some tough ones. Thanks for the video though.
That’s an great point, thanks for commenting!
