After data mining for a few days I found this and thought I would post it here to hash it out before I take my door apart. Can anyone confirm this with 99-04 Outbacks? "Pull your door card off. there are two 10mm bolt heads on top edge of the door. with the window up loosen these and move them slightly toward the glass and tighten them up. these are the glass stabilizers." Apparently these bolt heads are holding the window in place. Anyone with experience doing this DIY fix?

The driver window rattles in any position but rolls up and down fine? Is there anything I can just tighten up? My driver's side CV boot is shot, do I replace the boot or everything and a good source for the part? My 97 had 245,000 miles and this 99 is like driving a new car with only 105,000 miles. I just changed the plugs yesterday, two of the four plugs had the centre electrode burned to nothing and two still had the full points. Anything I should be concerned about? Took me 3 hours to change the plugs. I would also like to know what people find to be good on road off road tires that aren't extremely noisy without breaking the bank. Also, would love to know what I should be doing to keep this year model working like a top. I'm going to try to find out if the timing belt has ever been changed. Thanks for any help and advice. I would like to put another 150,000 miles on this car. It has leaks now but haven't seen anything hit the pavement, either it is still collecting on the frame or just blows off when driving. I see nothing after being parked. I'm pretty happy right now. Was prepared to travel for a car like this but found it in my home town. It was the lowest mile for 500 miles and owned by a little old lady.

SpecDub, we might have to start a new topic on this. Usually I get a response from someone in the know within a few hours here but I have been off the forum for a while with good fortune/no issues. Just upgraded my 97 Legacy to a 99 outback with 145000 less miles! It's like a new car to me. Doesn't drip a drop but the dang driver window rattles. I plan on keeping this car up as best I can so will be trying to fix everything, hopefully not by replacing a door.

My glass on my driver side is rattling when shutting door. It still rolls up and down fine, just seems sloppy. Will there be possible lose bolts or nuts or something simple to fix this? Thanks!
