I'll kick this one off... It's probably been discussed before- but has anyone investigated to see what exactly the source of all of the rattling in the rear is? Is it the hatch trim? 3rd brake light? side trim? cargo cover? My freeway drives would be much more peaceful if I could eliminate or reduce this annoyance.

... my only other ideas for topics here are group buys for waist spoilers and jdm tail lights

 

I have a 97obs that had a rattle. I adjusted the hook which the latch grabs onto and haven't had the rattle since.

 

I hate all the damn rattling that my exhaust makes when it hits against my differential cover because it is off the hanger.

 

ok guys. i need some help locating this part. it is the bumper cover that goes directly under the handle. the problem is it is metal, and not the plastic one.
here's the item: "CARGO STEP PANEL", part number E7717FE005.
it was found on a jdm wagon, i'd like it for my 04 wagon. TIA

 

yo chris... I got your back!

is it this:



here is the description:

Stainless Steel Cargo Entry Guard - 5 Door only.
Embossed with "Impreza".
Suitable for 00 model year onwards.

 

I think I saw this on another forum, they referred to japanparts.com, I think they said it was a special order part, but then again for the prices they charge all the parts are special parts. So I guess if you can't find it anywhere else go there.

whu? hoo? umm?

Oh SNAP! I must've slept through my alarm. I'm gonna be late.

Thanks for waking me up.

... Somebody throw down ... please. I wish I could.

 

yeah my04 will not work either. good find great price for the earlier year guys!!!

 

my buddy had this problem with his '03 wagon, took it to the dealership and they said it was the rear passenger seatbelt loop thingy (the top part of the seatbelt that it loop through and then goes down.... if that makes any sense) they said the spring inside was loose and all they did was stretch the spring a tiny bit and the rattle was gone.... hope this helps

 

I am sure this was asked before but I'm wondering if the Subaru OEM rear underspoiler will fit on the wagon. And also will the OEM front lip for the sedan fit or is it too big just like the rest of the after market lips? This is for a 02'.

No, those lips will not fit the wagon. Front and rear bumpers are different than the sedan.

 

They'll work with some time and patience . The rear will be easier than the front.
