Hello,
Do any of you know if you can remove the roof rails from a 9-5 aero estate MY03 without dropping the head liner?
cheers

Saab say no. But I reckon that you might.

I've reached the centre of the roof to do a sharks fin replacement, so I think you could get under the liner from the edges. You will have to pull off the top of the rubber door seals and unscrew the grab handles. I think that the A pillar trims, which come off easily would be worth removing, but the other bits might need more removal. I would do the rear fixings through the tailgate. There are trim strips all round the edge of the liner and I think the D pillar covers have to come off too. They all pull off. And the two centre roof fixing clips need releasing - just a quarter turn each.
