Really glad I'm not the only one who thought this as I was watching it.

Thanks for this - I had the replacement jalousie for 2 years and finally saw your video with this hack. Have wanted it installed, but wasn’t willing to spend $$$ have my trusted mechanic deal with it. As a female Saab owner for nearly 40 years (I’m on my 5th one, my 2nd beloved 9-5 wagon), I was inspired by your video and just completed the jalousie replacement myself for the minimal cost of the part. It took a tad more than 10 minutes, but easy-peasy and well worth it! Many thanks!!!

I made a little improvement to this by cutting through the round tab that pulls the jalousie back and forth. By doing that, the split is held together by the gearshifter slot and you cannot see the cut when it is all assembled again.

Hmmm I'd say not to make the cut, at least in a hot place like Australia, you'll be replacing it again in a few weeks after it's heat cycled - if your going to do the cut make sure you glue it, as it sags and gets bound up in the shifter mechanism.... You then have another broken jalouise strip I can't speak for cooler places but definitely is a temporary fix in Australia. The jalouise covers from rockauto the uro branded ones landed here are ~ $30usd so for me not worth saving 10 minutes to then have to redo it a few weeks later under warranty for a customer...

By slitting the jalousie in half, you weaken its structural integrity by 50%. If you can live with that, fine. Yes, removing the knob is tricky- but a 21-year-old mechanic at my European-specialty garage had the brains and ability to do it.

Doing this shortcut will cause the jalousie to break prematurely again. Because it's under constant use and cutting it will cause a "weak spot" where eventually it'll start to bend and it basically won't last. Tried it myself and with a friend, would not recommend.
