- '11 9-4X Aero, '07 9-3 Aero Conv, had 9-3 Conv (99) 9000 (86)
front bumper pops out by head light from side panel
[FONT=verdana]does anyone know if 9-4x Aero has a common problem with bumper connecting to side panel, I drove with speed of 120 m/hr few weeks ago and noticed my front bumper connecting to drivers side front panel came out of it's joints, I pushed it back in but it keeps on popping out now.. any thoughts?.. I've seen it on the other Saab 9-4x parked once, but that one had it on passenger side.[/FONT]

Mine is exaclty the same, it only popped out after I drove fast, and ever since top corner sticks out a little, so I push it back in once in a while.. I'll go to the dealer next oil change and will find out more about it and how it can be fixed permanently.. but overall great car))))

I have the same issue and noticed when I removed the front bumper (fix the air conditioner accumulator) the bracket that holds the bumper appeared to be (2) right/passenger sides. Not a 'Left' & 'Right'. They maybe universal but my neighbor who is a mechanic thought it look wrong. Both sides are always popping out. I now wish I took a pic while the bumper was off.

No, both sides still pop out... not as bad on the passenger side (the drivers side is the worst and appeared to have the wrong bracket to hold the bumper tight).

I got the same thing, drivers side keeps on popping out.. I'll find out from the dealer if there's any permanent fix.
