Is possible to find a new one or a cross reference for the winscreen nipple washer?
Mine is gone and one spare I have from a 900 has only one hole.

I have a 900 (double hole) spare, but the bottoms are different, 96 has a curved bottom to sit on the bonnet ridge and 900’s are flat

You’re welcome to it if you’d like it though

I can't remember if the 96 one is just a pop in clip but these have a nut so even if you have to make another rubber washer, it/they should be OK. I'd think these are readily available in any Spanish car parts shop. "Feu Vert"?

Thanks for your info gents and thanks for the offer green96v4.

It seems it is necessary a visit to the scrapyard and have a look what can fit.

I went for the easy solution as Derek pointed with an aftermarket piece from Alyexpress.

It needed to add the rubber as the profile is different than the original but I did a 3D printing in ABS. Not perfect but it works, without it was much worse.

It has always struck me as odd, why Saab would want to put such an item on a ridged surface. IMHO, far better to use 2x separate washers (single or double jet) on the bonnet's flat surface. This is what I will be doing during the restoration of my Saab.

Regards.

I think the reason is cutting cost, as usual
Only one doesn't work that bad as the windscreen is small.

Better to mount the jets on the air dam. Saab did it on their rally cars from the 60's.
