The windscreen replacement of a Saab 9000 is a special job. This Swedish car is a special model in the history of Saab. It is the successor of the Saab 900. About half a million copies were made of this car. It is a product of collaborations with other car manufacturers, but in the end Saab decided to go his own way. The objective: to create a car model for the American market, but also to save Saab itself. At the moment the Saab 9000 came out, things were not going well for the Swedes. That's why a completely new model with a different design was developed. The Saab 9000 windscreen was replaced by a window that didn't even look like the one of the Saab 900. Did the Saab 9000 turn the tide for the car manufacturer from Scandinavia?
At the end of the 1970s Saab and Lancia decided to work together again. Saab wants to bring a model on the market that makes the Saab 900 forget and wants to compete with Audi, BMW, Mercedes and of course especially Volvo. The cooperation has not been a success. Fiat and Lancia had just decided to completely abandon the American market because they were only making losses. Saab wanted to go to America with the new model to get a larger market, in order to be able to fill the wallet again. Both producers decided to go their own way, but Giugiaro remained the designer of the new Saab. The idea: 80% of the car had to be the same as its predecessor. In the end, only twelve of the 155 body parts would be identical to those of the Saab 900.
The 9000 was mainly a larger car, despite the fact that the car is 12 inches shorter than the Saab 900. However, the bumper is integrated into the bodywork, providing more space for the occupants. This also has to do with the engine that lies crosswise under the bonnet, saving another 25 centimetres of space.
The Saab 9000 has been an important model for Saab and the Swedish car industry. This can be clearly seen in the way the car was received. International reviewers were astonished: according to them, a small car manufacturer from Sweden could never build a car like the Saab 9000. Saab was in the news worldwide, also because of the performance of the car itself and the prizes it won.
A few facts in a row:
There are many copies of the Saab 9000 sold worldwide. As there are still many types in use, there is a high demand for spare parts.

If you have the best for your car and its occupants, it is important that the windscreen of your Saab 9000 is replaced in time.

In addition, your Saab 9000 will be rejected at the car inspection if you have glass damage in the driver's view. This is right, of course, because the obstruction of vision is at odds with road safety.
