I have a '05 WRX Wagon and picked up the armrest extension the other day. I was trying to put it in today, but it doesn't fit! The center console's different from the '04 and '05, but they have the same parts number? I'm mad!!! I'm gonna go return this. Anybdoy else have this problem?

 

hmm take a pic and post it?

you can up load it to i club. i think hey 1 is the closest

i can come help out after 5.45

 

05 is a different part number what did you get on the box and what was in the box?

 

123

 

hmm... did you get it used from someone? hope they didn't tell you that it fits when it actually doesn't

 

Subaru part# J2010FE021 thats for the 05 the full subaru part number

but the 03 is the same number subaru messed up with the catalog


they thought it would work and it doesnt. now they hvae to re tool to make a new one or just modify it

the real Subaru part # J2010FE030 is for 05

 

hmm... 04 = ****ty? 02+ = good and now they change back to the older armrest design? dunno..

 

what the hell did you say?

no 02-04 are the same 05 is different

 

haha nvm..

 

Bleah...gotta go back and tell them this then and see what happens. I saw them look it up in a '05 catalog and they came up with part#J2010FE022, which replaced part#J2010FE020. Are you pretty certain it's supposed to be part#J2010FE030?

Thanks for the help.

 

Nope, got it from the dealer at cost+10%. The parts guy took a good 5 min trying to look up the P/N though. :-/

 

ok when a number gets superceded the old one works but crosses to teh new one. so once they run out of the old part number they go to teh new one

i dont know just make it easy on yourself and say hey this doesnt fit.

subaru messed up this one

J2010FE030 Arm Rest Extension, Impreza 2005

 

I went to Subaru part to buy an air filter one time and they give me the wrong one.

 

that's even worst.. when the dealer don't know what they're doing.. they could've told you that it will not fit..
