Stainless steel retaining plate for air conditioning lines – Saab 9-3 II

The original retaining plate for the air conditioning lines at the expansion valve of the Saab 9-3 II is often severely affected by corrosion over the years.

The original galvanized steel plate can rust heavily due to moisture and age, causing it to lose its stability.

Our solution is a newly manufactured, precision-fit retaining plate made of stainless steel – corrosion-resistant, stable, and designed for a permanent repair.
