The kit
The kit comes with mounting hardware to install it on all supported car
trims and includes assorted screws, nuts, washers and plastic screw caps.

Inside the trunk
Open the trunk, and optionally lower the rear seat. Find a suitable install
location close to the outer edge of the trunk.

Test fitting
The Saab manual suggests using only two screws on the 9-5, but they supply
three, and it should really hold better if you add a third one in the
center.

Centre punch
Make sure the holes you marked are well away from the spot welds.
Use a centre punch on the middle hole. Watch your fingers!

Drilling
Drill the middle hole using a 1/8" bit. Use a drill stop so it doesn't go
through the parcel shelf and into the glass.

Outer holes
Fit the middle screw and make sure you marked the outer holes correctly.
Undo the screw and remove the holder.

More drilling
Punch and drill the outer holes. Again, take extra care as the metal you're
drilling is quite thin.

Installed
Install the holder and tighten all three screws with star washers. The
hooks should be aimed towards the opening of the trunk.

Empty
The hooks can slide left and right along the rail, and you can also
fold them to about 45° when they are not used.
|  | 14.09.2008
Bag
While the rail is metal, the hooks itself are made of plastic, so they aren't
strong enough to hold a heavy load. However, if the bags can stand the floor,
they will be held in place just fine!
