…drove it in the snow.

There is a Members Classified forum on the Home page. That’s where I found my wagon in 2015.






After a lot of searching for a cell phone holder that would hold the phone high enough above the clock, I finally gave up and made one from the clip-in rubber liner Subaru put in the cubby.
I didn’t want to mount it on the windshield with a suction cup because I just don’t like that option. I drive 140 miles round-trip every day, and clean the inside of the windshield a couple times a week. Suction cups leave a mess and I’d have to remove it every time I clean the windshield on the inside.
I used a thin steel angle bracket and some dense foam so it’d be snug inside the cubby and the phone wouldn’t bounce or vibrate on the mount. After test fitting everything I used Panel Bond to glue it up. I bought a standard magnetic phone holder and stuck the adjustable phone holder to the steel bracket. (It didn’t have to be steel; that’s just what I had laying around that worked.)
The end result is pretty cool! It holds the phone exactly where I want, I don’t have to look down away from the road to see it, and it pops right out if need be.

That sucks man. Based on shape it looks like the rear door weather strip to me.

I thought that might be the case, but it’s actually bigger than the rear one.

I’ve been trying to replace worn drivers door weatherstrip. You’d think Subaru would have the right parts, but I’ve ordered two from the dealer and both have been way too small. PN 63571AG00BOR. This replaces the original number (63571AG00BJC) and is supposed to be the same, but nope…

I don’t believe it’s NOS parts that have shrunk; I think it’s made wrong. If it shrunk that much, the originals would be falling off the car

You can see how much smaller the new piece is compared to the old one in the photo. 
Frustrating

Your grille looks actually pretty nice. Are you planning to add the logo too?

Thanks! I’m making another one that will have the logo. The one in the photo was a first attempt. I want the mesh to be farther back from the grille surround. I have the Subie Sticker for it.

Over the past couple weeks I removed the chrome trim above the license plate along with all the wording on the tailgate. I got a new “2.5 GT” logo and painted it and the trim piece black. 
I never liked the JDM red & clear taillights, and I finally got a set of stock JDM lights that I think look a lot nicer.

…and I made a grille from a stock grille and some plastic mesh.

ISO the center console sliding door surround that holds the seat heater switches.

thanks!

 

seanyb505 Thanks for the diagram. I couldn’t find one.

Unfortunately, the part they show as being replaceable is for the front end, and the parts that break are at the back end.

The original pair were replaced in 2015, and now they broke again in 2022. Not the greatest life expectancy.

 

2005 LGT wagon. Panoramic sunroof uses two rods with plastic ends that draw back the inner sunroof shade panel when the SR closes. Can’t find a part number…

I found my previous set here about 2016. Hoping to find another set.

Will you take $100.00 shipped to 80906?

Is this still available?

Well, I did get it fixed. Flawless right now, but we all know how that goes. “If you want your car to be perfect, don’t drive it”. Every time I get a nick, ding or scratch on one of my Stratocasters, it adds to the character. Wish I could feel that way about my cars.

Second round with hail damage and PDR. The rarity is the only reason I’m fixing it again. The car came from Portland, OR, and is truly rust-free, and I keep it mechanically 100%. The PDR guy did a flawless job last time, so I’m hoping for the best. By the way, State Farm totalled it. +190k and they paid $8,100.00. Hail does not effect the title, so I’m fixing it.

This past Monday (12.28.15) in Denver on South Colorado Blvd north of I-25 I saw an Accord wagon (like mine) followed by a silver LGT (mine is GRP). Saw two more LGT's that day in Denver, and another two in Woodland Park west of Colorado Springs. Blue and black. Sitting in the passenger seat here today on I-25 in Colorado Springs it seems like every other car is a Subaru. Colorado be bery bery good for Subaru!
