I have a 2019 Legacy and the dealer installed a remote starter and failed to secure the "Under cover driver" part #66066AL00A (see photo below). Does anyone know the part number of the 2 screws or clips needed to secure this piece of plastic, located below the steering column?

I received a notice that my 2019 Legacy requires a Starlink System update. It turns out it does not. Here is additional information I found from mysubaru.com:

The steering rack replacement is not a solution to the front end noise many Subaru Legacy owners are experiencing. I have had my steering rack replaced twice and the noise returns after a few months. Many of you are mentioning that the sound gets worse in the winter or cold months. This is true and I experienced the same. No response from Subaru, which unfortunately means this issue will likely not be addressed. This is the last Subaru I purchase.

DougKelly20, unfortunately, as others have indicated and I can attest to, the steering rack and backlash adjustment and/or tension spring replacement is not a solution. Give it a few months and you will once again hear the noise. I strongly encourage everyone to try out TSB #05-80-20 for a potential fix. My dealer supposedly only replaced the right side, even though the noise sounded like it was coming from the left. I do not know if this addressed the issue but once COVID infection rates are down and l start driving more, I will report back.

I have experienced the same issue with rattling in the front drivers side, which seems to get worse in the winter. I believe the cause of the noise is the front stabilizer link assembly, because it has to connect two pieces of metal in the suspension and the assembly holds grease within a rubber gasket. If the rubber gasket fails or separates in cold temperatures, you will hear the noise of two components rubbing against each other without sufficient lubrication. See TSB #05-80-20 for a potential fix. I had my car recently repaired (January 2021) and when I have a chance to test drive over a course of a few weeks, I will provide an update to see if this technical service bulletin addressed the problem.

I used to search for my vehicle's Technical Service Bulletins (TSB) on http://www.bbbind.com. Free searches ended on January 31st, 2020. They got rid of it and now I need recommendations on where to find free or low cost TSB's for my 2019 Subaru Legacy Limited 3.6R. Any help would be appreciated.
