Hi,

We have a 2003 Forrester (our second), and recently we've noticed wind noise coming from around the outside mirror. Our dealer said we need new rubber gussets and they cost $195 each.

I was contemplating doing myself, and I was wondering if anyone has ever tackled this task.

  1. ('19+) 2019 - OEM Hood wind/bug deflector - came with a chip, same spot, twice! SOLVED

    Exterior and Body
    The first deflector I received was chipped so I asked for a replacement. The second one came with a chip in almost the exact same spot. Is this just the way they are supposed to come or am I not receiving genuine OEM products? It’s almost as if the chip is marking center?

  2. ('03-'05) 2004 - rear dust deflector or rear spoiler replacement?

    Exterior and Body
    Hi all, Just got my '04 XT and am addressing a few cosmetic issues.

See pic below My guess is rear dust deflector, and I've...

    Exterior and Body
    Does anyone know what the length and thread size is for the front and rear tow hooks on the 19+ Foresters? Another member had a “raceseng” front hook which comes custom fit but it only displays part numbers and not real world measurements. I would like to explore other options if possible. Maybe...

  5. ('19+) LP Adventure Rock Sliders

    Exterior and Body
    Just wondering what everyone's thoughts are on THESE rock sliders for the 19+ Foresters.. I'm looking mostly to have a step to reach things on the roof but also like the looks of sliders on other vehicles. Any other companies make these for the newer Foresters? Anyone install these already?

  6. ('09-'13) Does an SJ rear spoiler fit SH?

    Exterior and Body
    Just wondering what are the differences in terms of rear wing location? I like the design of the newer 2014-18 rear wing vs the OEM 2009-13 on the XT. Anyone tried to test fit an SJ spoiler onto an SH? The only potential area of difference I see (based on pics, and without measuring anything)...
