  1. Fully Synthetic I imagine? (Haven't got my manual to hand)
  2. The triangle at the front of the door, from the top point and then all the way down the trailing edge, l got a couple of strips of wood to protect the finish and then compressed the inside and outside together with mole grips. Over time - particularly if you shut the door by pushing the window - the inside and outside pieces become pushed apart. Doing this provided the biggest improvement in wind noise reduction.
  3. Great. Can I use Impreza window motor (2002 - 2008)?
  4. Did you replace just the motor or the mech as well? Someone said get both together, but I can't see why one wouldn't just replace the motor
  5. If it's completely stopped working, I read somewhere - and it worked for me - just give the door card a good firm whack (from memory just below the arm rest with the switches but you'd need to check) and it can free everything up.
  6. Very late response, there weren't any of these outputs. Regarding wind noise, I took some mole grips to the triangle by the wing mirrors and pressed them back together, this massively reduced wind noise.
  7. Hi, I bought a precursor my window tint kit and I'm chicken out of fitting it now. Does anyone know a person/place on the Henley/Reading/Marlow area I could take the car to have the kit fitted? thanks in advance
  8. Hi, I replaced the standard head unit with a double DIN Alpine CDEW235BT unit that has Parrot bt hands free and iPod/Phone usb slot built in. I also bought the separate looms that allow you to hook it up to the steering wheel controls. It works really well. I couldn't be bothered hacking around in the sat-nav area. I just mount my Garmin on it by suction cupping onto the screen lol.
  9. Hi,

    Does your forester have to factory satnav? I am worried that I will loose the satnav voice/sound if I change head unit?

    Thanks,

    Jez

  10. I'll have a look at the back of the old head unit from my 2005 2.5XT. From memory, there are no such outputs or I probably would have bought a GROM Bluetooth module. Also the sound was appalling from the standard head unit from memory. I bought an Alpine CDEW235BT which was less than £100 at the time and comes with a USB slot on the front and a PAROT hands free Bluetooth built in and bluetooth audio streaming. It fits straight into the existing slot with no hacking.
  11. I think I may have got lucky. The left hand boot for the wiring into the deck lid had come loose. Hopefully this is the source
  12. Mole grips worked for me. But I do now need to do the B pillar
  13. Hehe. Looks a damn sight brighter than mine. Nice front seats.
  14. Ah yes. So, pull it down from B to D? I wonder if some one-shot drain unblocker would clear it.
