My right door was bad enough that the radio at medium volume, if the music had any bass in it, would CAUSE the durn thing to rattle.

However, I just drove home the 18 miles from Hodges and both doors are eerily silent. I was able to hear the zipper pulls on my laptop case rattling on the front seat...

I'm guessing that Subaru *must* have started using a little of the double faced sticky on new Foresters at some point (mine was built 1/09, bought 4/09).

If this is the extent of first year design problems, and it seems like it is, I'm really happy. (The bearing shells on the early turbos were a supplier problem, and I'm glad that I don't have to deal with anything like that.)

Good luck,
George
