Scheme 11
  1. Open the door windows so that there is no risk of the windscreen being pressed out by the overpressure that would build in the passenger compartment if one of the doors would be closed.
  2. Open the front doors and remove the roof moulding.
  3. Remove the side strips from the windscreen.
  4. Remove the windscreen wipers; use «85 80 144 PULLER WINDSCREEN WIPER ARM»(ref-212269-S41146805122005122300000) .
  5. Remove the rubber covers from the wiper stems.
  6. Remove the rear bonnet seal.
  7. Remove the clips holding the covering over the bulkhead partition space. Remove the covering by lifting the front edge and then pulling forward so that the clips release from the windscreen edge. Then lift rearwards and remove it.
  8. Remove the A-pillar trim and ticket holder.
  9. For cars with rain sensor, see steps 10-12. If the car does not have a rain sensor, continue from point 13.
  10. Remove the sensor cover by inserting «82 93 474 REMOVAL TOOL»(ref-212269-S29861101832005122300000) in the bottom edge and pulling the tool upwards. Repeat on the opposite side and lift away the cover.
  11. Press out the ends of the clamps from the retainers on the windscreen console. It helps if you press the sensor towards the windscreen. Bend out the clamps and remove the sensor from the console. NOTE: Take care when releasing the clamps so as not to scratch the windscreen.
  12. Unplug the connector from the sensor and allow it to hang from the headlining.
  13. Remove the upper windscreen moulding.
  14. When replacing glued windscreens, use «82 93 714 KIT, WINDOW REMOVAL TOOLS»(ref-212269-S15877548442005122300000) . If the windscreen is so damaged that the suction cups do not adhere, use «30 14 099 HANDLE FOR CUTTING WIRE»(ref-212269-S06627082132005122300000) and saw out the windscreen with the help of a co-worker. WARNING: Use the protective equipment that is supplied with the windscreen removal and adhesive kit, such as the goggles and protective gloves.
  15. Measure out 6.5 m cutting wire.
  16. Insert the chisel through the glue joint from the inside of the windscreen in the center of its lower edge.
  17. Hook the wire ends through the eyes of the chisel and bend the ends so that they do not come out.
  18. Pull the chisel back through the glue joint into the passenger compartment. Pull in the wires about 0.7 m. WARNING: Ensure that the wire is not connected to the battery terminals if the cover is removed, otherwise there is a risk of short-circuit/fire.
  19. Unhook the cutting wires from the chisel. Straighten the wire ends so that they are at an obtuse angle. Put the chisel aside.
  20. Place the cutting wire around the windscreen. Ensure that it lies around all corners. Pull in the wire and check that it lies between the metal and the windscreen.
  21. In some cases, the glue joint may be so far down that there is no metal edge to place the cutting wire against (it then slides under the metal edge and cannot cut the glue joint). If that is the case, make four holders to keep the wire in place against the glue joint. Press the holders into the glue joint and place the wire in the holders. Then pull the wire into the car and continue as follows.
  22. Fit the wimples in the corners on the inside of the windscreen.
  23. Attach the wire ends in the coils of the wimples. Make sure that the wires do not cross. Use the groove in the wimples suction cup as a pulley to get a good angle.
  24. Press the plastic guard down between the cutting wire and the panel to protect the interior equipment.
  25. Crank with a lock handle so that the wire cuts through the glue joint. Move the plastic guard as the wire moves. Move the wimple little by little to obtain a good angle. A transverse angle with the wire cuts best. If necessary, use the second wimple as support. If the wire seems to be coming off, wait 10-15 seconds so that the wire can work itself into the glue joint.
  26. When the wire begins to cut the upper part of the windscreen, fit the protective tool with suction cups between the cutting wire and metal roof to protect the interior equipment. Move the wimple and protective tool little by little as the windscreen loosens.
  27. Fit the lifting handle on the outside of the windscreen.
  28. With the assistance of a co-worker, lift the windscreen away.

Brief description, electrically heated rear window and door mirrors

A number of heating wires are fastened to the inside of the rear window glass. On the 4D Saab 9-5 these heating wires also serve as an antenna for the audio system.

The glass in the door mirrors also has heating conductors.

On cars with MCC, the heating is turned on and off manually with a switch on the MCC panel which controls the relay via DICE.

On cars with ACC, the heating is turned on and off automatically by the ACC control module or manually by a switch on the ACC panel. The ACC control module outputs a signal to the bus for DICE, which controls the heating relay.

Normally, the electrical heating is on for 12 minutes.

Brief description, PMM

The Power Mirror Memory (PMM) function is available as an option.

Different positions are stored and activated via the seat memory function. The mirror on the passenger door can also be tilted downwards while reversing by putting the selector lever in the R position and pressing the tilt-down switch on the mirror switch unit.
