- 2011 9-4X Premium FWD
They told me they used the updated part for they SRX (they had originally used mine as a company car for Hendrick and have already replaced the part once before because of the scrubbing), so my guess is that it would be the plastic part. I noticed that mine would scrub really badly between 20-35 degrees, but colder than that and it would not scrub. I keep mine outdoors (under a carport at home or parking deck when I am on the road) and mine still scrubbed, so I don't think the garage affects it that much.
I would've bought the taillight and replaced it myself (I'm not too repair savvy, but could easily do things like that) but couldn't get it for less than my $100 warranty deductible, so I just let that cover it. It may not have been done with love, but my wallet still loves me after
As a side note, they also had 2 other 9-4x's in the shop while mine was in there - something I haven't seen anywhere else. Brings my total sightings up to 5 of them (including mine).

of course, if you have warranty covering it then def go for it.
I have a third party warranty, but did not call them for the light. probably should've done it.
I might have seen yours also, I was there over a year ago, looking at black 9-4X Aero, and saw the 2 black premiums for service also that day.
The black aero had 40k on it and they wanted 30k. test drove it, heard a lot of clicking noises. but at the same time there was another one in San Francisco for 30k with 12k miles on it. So I got it. But the sales people were very friendly and professional. And the service department was professional also. If I lived closer I would def service my Saabs there.

so once I replace my mounts I have to mention also to use the newer ones from SRX
Thanks for the info!
the new thing I'm working on is to get rear fog light to work, apparently they are there, (under the reverse light) but no switch. Head light switch needs to be replaced for that.
The fog light LED is there.

The black Aero was there whenever I bought mine. They had it down to $26k with 49k miles at the time. You may have seen mine; it's a silver premium. I was going to go for the Aero, but mine had 20k miles less and they dropped the price to $19k, and since mine had the same features except the Fog Lights (actually wish I had those), DVD and rear heat/air controls (No kids so that is no concern for me) I decided to go with the Silver Premium. They let me drive a loaner 9-5NG when mine was in and I'm considering buying it from them to keep miles down on my 9-4x. It was a 2011 Turbo4 with Navi and Sunroof; only 19k miles and they said they could probably meet me somewhere in the $12k range. It is about 2 hours from either of my locations, but is a 10x better dealership than the ones I've been to in Greensboro and Winston-Salem.
Good luck getting your rear fog light to work. I may ask them about it next time I am up that way and see if they can tell me anything for you.

with front fog lights it's an easy solution for you. part 94708773 and 94708774 (left and right) get them and get a new head light switch with front fog light button (get the one with rear fog also) everything is pre-wired already.
I'm looking for the front fog light that have build in LED lights, if not I'll get a LED conversion kit for H10 bulbs. (that' what they use)

Thank you so much! I knew that the fake grill sections were the same size, but I didn't know they were already pre-wired. That is definitely something I am going to work on this summer. Would mine have the rear fog light as well since it didn't have it the fog lights stock? And would the head light button be the one from the the 9-5NG (I haven't seen one with rear lights for the 9-4X)?

you car should have those LED light also, open the "cargo gate" lol and take the cover off for the light access, peek down, and if you see the metal grill like on the pic, you have the light and it will work for you.
I saw one 9-4X for sale pix with split button for rear/front fog light

looks like you git a good deal, especially the warranty.. I always get those too..
buying a 9-5 sounds pretty good, I'm looking for one also, something for less money to have a fun car...
Navigation in 9-5 is very important, also vented seats. I always check out cars.com

I figured out very quickly that I have to look for good deals or else I would run myself into the hole pretty quickly. The 9-5 isn't in perfect condition, but it has been owned by the dealership so I know it has been mechanically maintained. I drive about 10 hours from the mountains to the coast every 2 weeks, and I would like something that is better on gas, but still as comfortable, and still looks good. The 9-4X is good to have when it snows in the mountains, but a smaller car would be nice for traveling back and forth.
