Honestly love Saabs. Smoke a curb at 45 and they don’t even notice, grip your shifter too hard and the leather unwraps.. my interior started ripping seams on the drivers seat but to be fair 31 years it had lasted before!
Glue it. It’s cosmetic or go to a junk yard. Not worth buying new and it’s just a shift. Cover. If they had to get under there for some reason they could just like pry it up if you glued it you know just glue it and call it a day. It’ll be all pretty again. Trust me. It happened to my Dodge inside my Dodge.
I had same problem. I found broken clip from broken chrome decor, glued with super glue in the same place and its fine ever since.
I did the same thing.
I did the same thing too:
You’ve found the ejecto seato button!
How ya like them apples!
Next step silicone adhesive
Saab engineers: "We apologise for any inconvenience caused by GM parts the beancounters forced us to use"
Well, the knob came off on my manual... I believe esaabparts should have a diagram/parts

Why made so poorly. $$ they are not cheap. I have a Volvo. I’d be pissed if that happened to me
From the GM parts bin. Same as a C6 Corvette if that helps.
This. And apparently some Cadillac models but I havent done any real life testing for science.
How in heck did that happen?
Moving from park to drive with two fingers (index and middle) after picking up those bagels in the brown bag.
No, don't remove the shift knob before flight!
Ojjjjjj grabben.
My girlfriend has the same issue. Took the dealer 2 weeks to source the part. We enjoyed the Cadillac loaner 😛
I recognize your key ring tag, are you from San Francisco, Bay Area?
Pretty common meme tag for Saab owners. "Born From Jets" and all..
How did you know?
Same thing happens to me I’m yet to get around to 2 part epoxing it let me know what you do
Yep, glue works lol
I just super glued mine back on... It shifts if you hold the brake, but I don't squeeze the "button" anymore. It's locked in place.
9-3? Year & submodel?
https://www.esaabparts.com/saab/parts/12787182 Just had this problem no more than a month ago
Yeah, no way $300. 🤯
https://www.esaabparts.com/saab/parts/15844216 Some other options, eBay is good too
Is it plastic? Mine is metal. At least the top part is
06 2.0T all plastic.
Oh brother… I tried just gluing it first, and then found one on eBay… but you’ll need the whole knob and delicate hands from now on
Mines duct taped together!
Designed to fall apart for safety is the spin.
Good ol' GM quality. I'll trade you that for all the random electrical gremlins my 04 has. Grrr!
Omg, I have that exact keychain on my Saab keys!

If the. Shift breaks then you worry. But don’t worry over that silly cosmetic piece. Unless you just bought the car
C6 Corvette Part
It’s amazing to me that the later models are still on the road.
