That’s correct but if it’s one of the rear ones they are available 2nd hand for around £40 and there are plenty of videos on changing them on that YouTube. Saab refer to them as bows the most expensive one is no 1 which is the smallest one that unlocks the roof from windshield, this is the one that went on mine and after trying to locate one and ordering a litre of the special roof oil which cost me about £25 looking at around £200 2nd hand I just open mine manually for now as for the amount of summer we get
