Hello All,
I had an accident back in November 2025 and have been fixing up my Saab after almost giving up on it. Found the front passenger fender and about to begin removing but wanted to remove the front bumper as I noticed some plastic mounting points were cracked including the headlight housing. I have picked up the headlight housing but wanted to know if anyone on here has taken off the front bumper off a 9-7x and would be able to provide pics or guidance on how many clips or plastic mounting points I have to prepare to replace.
I have searched forums and images trying to get an idea as I am on a time crunch as I have to travel for work and don't want to tear it apart and not put back together in time due to missing pieces.
So far I see that I will definitely need the bumper support bracket but have only been able to find driver side part # 15288409.
Also see bracket part # 15262141 and fascia bracket part # 89045616. This is what I am able to see based on a breakdown diagram but not sure what else is hidden that supports the front bumper when it comes to clips/plastic mounts.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
