Hello first of all, I don’t know if the phenomenon is already well known. Yesterday I found that the plastic coating on the outer mirror holder of the passenger side (in the triangle mirror, disk, shaft strip) bulges clearly outwards – looks like a rusting. Since my aero NY04 mileage 72,000km the other mirror was completely changed as a result of a collision, the damage does not appear there. The same phenomenon should have long-term tester Matthias Retzer (aero same model year) dominated photographically with all the hardness.http://www.langzeittest.de/saab-9-5-kombi/berichte/2005/mai.php Does any of you have the same damage? Look at your mirror holders once exactly. Does this probably only concern the model year 2004? Best regards Sterling 95
