Saab: 9-3 convertible wind deflector installation

9-3 convertible wind deflector installation
Merry Christmas. I got the wind deflector for my 2001 9-3 convertible
but it's not clear how to install it. The dealer told my wife (the
giver) that no install/mounting kit is needed. If he's right (and it
wouldn't be the first time he's wrong) then I don't see how to do it.
Anyone have any suggestions so I can enjoy this before tomorrow? :-)

Oh, it dead easy, just look at it and then look at the space where it's
supposed to go and it should become obvious.
The two flat metal lips slide under the rear headrests. The rest is pretty
evident then - there's two holes on the side panels that take care of the
rest.

PS: We have a rain front here in CA, so no [open] convertible weather for
now...

No holes in evidence, I fear. I'm assuming they should be somewhere
near the rear passenger lights on what would be the B pillar in a
non-convertible.
Reading the accessory catalog seems to indiccate that a mounting kit is
required in the 2001 model. Oh well. I'll get it tomorrow, when CA's
rain is due to arrive...

Indeed, right there. I wasn't aware the '01 model year was any different.
By the way, tell people to be careful with the seat controls when you have
the wind deflector in. It's easy to get the seat into it when people want
max room and lean angle. And always mount it off before getting the car to
the car wash - the guys there really like to max the seats out rearwards for
reasons I never understood, and it can damage the deflector or the mounts.

PS: By the way, that was one thoughful Xmas present from your wife [unless
she's the one primarily driving the car, of course :-)]. Be good to that
woman!
