I have a 94 9000 Aero, and I need to get into the dash to replace the hazard lights switch. I found instructions somewhere for removing the top of the dash, which involved first removing the speaker grills. When I try to remove the speaker grills they seem to be captured under the A-piller trim. Is there a simple way to remove the grills?
TIA, Lynn
They just pull straight off? No need to release the clips first?
Lynn
You need to pull off the A post trims. They are held on by 2 snap-in fittings, and will pull off easily enough. Careful not to damage them.
Once you've removed the screws under the speaker grilles, don't forget the one in the glovebox.
Thanks, I'll go give it a try.

Yup, they just pull off, then pop back on.
There is no glovebox on a 94 US model (passenger air bag). Does that mean the other screw is inaccessible?
Lynn
Ah, don't know. I doubt it would be inaccessible - if I were you, I'd work on the assumption that it isn't there, and see how you go.
Speaking of removing trim pieces, I removed the piece around the outside mirror mount on my `85 900 to repair the mirror. Where does one get the little plastic pop rivet things to replace the ones I removed?
And speaking of the outide mirrors, has anyone ever had the glass fall out of one? I was driving along a reasonably smooth road one day a few months back when the offside mirror went crash, (one) bounce, and tinkle.
If you want identical ones, you'll need to go to a Saab main dealer.
Yes, that seems to happen. Fortunately I noticed mine coming loose before it was completely detached and re-attached it with epoxy.
