Hi Guys, Does anyone have any experience with replacing just the rubbers to the screen wipers. to my suby Forrester .ie, which to recommend or avoid. cheers. Alan

Appreciate your input Mr B. Not a power tailgate, so at least that rules that out. I know what your saying about modern cars . I'm old enough to remember the relatively easy to fix motors 70sthrough to 90s .,cars these days are designed not to be easily fixed by the owners.. still a bit of a mystery as to why the battery drained completely flat ! ive just tried starting the car, all seems well, started ok. the window which didnt work , (passenger front door) from drivers side, does now but only after l opened and closed it a few times from the passenger door button..so all seems well at the moment. fingers crossed ...thanks again for your contribution Mr B.

Hi guys, I have a problem with my electric windows on my 2017 subaru forester, which may be the reason for my battery draining . The battery is less than 18months old, and have had no problems with it until yesturday . whilst out on a fishing trip , the car stood all day and because it was hot i opened the tailgate and lowered the windows down a bit. In th evening i shut the tailgate but forgot to shut the side windows..the following morning l couldnt open the tailgate, then found i couldnt start the engine ..the battery was comletely flat, not even any ignition lights. i got a friend to jumpstart the car so i could drive home.. thing is, the passenger window dont work, cant open it..this has never been an issue before..somehow the problem with the windows has caused a complete battery drain. l would welcome any suggestions. Alan

Many thanks Mr B & SebP10 your input is much appreciated.. I would rather disconnect the battery from the car and trickle charge it , but was wary of upsetting the electrics.... SebP10 you mentioned the auto drivers window function, can you elaborate please ..I don't see it in my owners manual. cheers

Hi guys My forester is 3 yrs old with low mileage, so you would think the battery is still in good nick..but as I haven't used the car for 4 wks cos' of the 'virus' there wasn't enough power in the battery to start it. obviously I need to charge the battery , but disconnecting the battery will no doubt upset the radio code..?? I cant find any code for the battery in my car info only a code for the security. I have phoned the garage but obviously no one available.... would appreciate any suggestions.. would it be straight forward to charge the battery in the car ?..if so is there anything I should be aware of. cheers.
