Not sure if it's been discussed, I'm sure there would be better plans than mine. his is a 2012 JDM XV, the visor kept falling out of its pivot hinge. Easy to see why. So I thought I'd put a belt around it. A small pipe clamp didnt work, too bulky so it fouls when refitting. Small diameter wire doesn't work either, slippery plastic. It comes off. In the end, good old cable tie, bonded on to prevent slipping. Fingers crossed

I agree with David wholeheartedly. Not the tool for the job. However I am still fitting one, we have a small 1.2x1.8 trailer for gardening rubbish, bicycles on holiday, odds and ends. At the very worst some firewood every 2 years. Also remember that some folks use towbars for bike carriers. What I have been able to find is a link to a local NZ based company's webpage. Looking at that it seems that the same towbar goes for every Exiga 2008 to 2016: https://www.towbar.co.nz/vehicles/car/1439 I can't confirm this, I plan to get one from a local breakers yard off a 2008 model. I reckon even if it cant fit perfectly it should be close enough to enable me to modify it... whatever it does I'll post the results. Or lack thereof. Now. Anybody knows where the electric connection plug is for plugging the trailer loom is? I would prefer a plug in loom over hard wiring into the trailer lights.

In thr 80s 90s Australia and NZ had the Subaru Brumby. Also in the US called the Brat. Mid 2000s the US had the Baja. I also once saw a gen4 Outback with roof, rear windows, C and D pillars removed, welded rear doors and the tub of a Opel Corsa Utility (I think it was) welded in. Beautifully done, perfect fit. So my plan on the Exiga, after I claimed all the tax and depreciation over the next 5 years, is to turn it into a "Brumby" that Subaru should build but for some reason dont.... We'll that's the idea at least. Ideas are easy. We'll see.

Thanks for approval of membership I'm very glad to have found a Subaru Owner Forum with a section for the Exiga. I have an imported JDM 2015 Exiga Crossover7. I think it is a YAM chassis. I couldn't find anywhere else that has this particular model. Our other car is a 2012 XV. Also JDM import. We have huge numbers of imported JDM vehicles on the road in NZ which is a very economical way of buying a car here. Down side is zero service history and very little info on the unusual models. Again, cheers for having me
