marcothio Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Hi, I found this video on youtube and yep, my XV lacks a cover too. I can't find this part for RHD XVs online however, only for LHD. I assume the LHD won't fit right? Anybody ideas? THX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogconker Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Sorry I really cant help with that, I think it's unlikely that it would fit. Best bet would be to contact your local main dealer, they can usually get a part number, Subaru UK can be helpful too, I have had a couple of part numbers off them before and they've usually been fairly quick and helpful.

Thanks, I'll post an update as I will be heading towards the dealer anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcothio Posted September 17, 2016 Author Share Posted September 17, 2016 Finally got the cover from the dealer, installation was super easy, just a few pins and presto! I didn't do a scientific measurement, but I do notice a slight reduction in cabin noise. Can definitely recommend it. Weird that Subaru left it out when launching the car in 2012, it makes a lot of sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Pity Subaru dont have it as a retro fix and issue a notification - but that costs money... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogconker Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 I can't say ive noticed any noise really, not more than any other car. But mine is a 2014 model so maybe that why? how much was the part anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
