Thank you! I've had my car for several years and this never happened before so I thought maybe a fuse went out or whatever makes that sound might have to be replaced but this simple fix did it! So weird that it happened. I wonder how. Anyway, I'm back to good - much appreciated.

I'm sure this topic is listed somewhere already but I was unable to find it. Anyway... All of a sudden today, my 2005 stopped beeping when using the key fob to lock or unlock. It still works - the car will lock / unlock and the lights will flash but no audible cues. Any idea why and how to fix? Thanks. dc

Ok, I see it now. I just didn't scroll down far enough. 1 of 108! Way better than 1 of 200! Except when someone dings or scratches the car it hurts more.

Where exactly is the sticky? I want to look up my car. Sorry I'm probably asking an obvious question. I'm just not on forums very often. I looked at the top of the 'Fourth Generation Legacy' section. I looked up my car years ago and thought I read it was one of 200 but can't remember where, exactly. I live in Los Angeles and found my car at a dealership outside of Cleveland. 5,000 miles. I thought it was a typo but the saleswoman confirmed it. I'm not impulsive but I put down a deposit on the spot and flew out there to pick it up and drive it back.

Would really prefer not to take apart the headliner but appears I may not have to. I called ReRack.com (can't remember how I came across them - the amount I've been Googling a solution is a complete blur). They were super helpful and I'm going to pick up a used Yakima Locking EZ Rider Flush Rail Tower Set for $70 plus the lock/key setup for another $70 and looks like I can pick up compatible cross bars on eBay for around $50. More than I wanted to spend but less than $200 for a setup that seems reliable and maybe more importantly, COMPATIBLE!!!

Yup. Exact same car (assuming it's a 5MT did you know we've each got 1 of 200 ever made in this exact style/color?), same rails. So are those sedan mounts front and back or just the front and you've got something else on the back? If this is a pair, got a link to these? Junkyard is a thought. Think it's easy enough to swap out the rails or is that a whole deal? Hard to tell just looking at them. This is such a great car and a limited release but drives me crazy how hard it is to find stinkin' cross bars and my 2003 Honda Element has an AUX in for the radio but not the Subie. But that's another topic.

2005 Legacy GT wagon. I've literally spent a week now searching on eBay, Amazon, Craigslist, and 3rd party vendor sites and can't track down what should be a super simple find. Everything seems to be for raised rails, even so called universal mounts. There are also mounts that I believe fit in the rain gutters but I have existing rails on the car so I want to use them and keep additional hardware off the body and for all I know, they'd get in the way anyhow. I don't care what brand and I don't care how they look, only that they're in good condition so they don't go flying off the roof of the car and that they don't cost stupid money like options from Thule and Yakima (over $200 for just cross bars? really?). Sincerely appreciate any help!

I'll take the info (thanks) but a friend of mine has the bike rack component so it appears all I need are the cross bars for the existing roof rails. As mentioned, I see a number of options for less than $100 (that budget works for me!), just none that look like they attach to the style I have. Or maybe they do. I just don't know enough about this gear because I haven't had to buy it before.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I meant are the rails fairly standard to have cross bars attached to them. That being said, looks like the answer may be no because I'm having a tough time finding appropriate cross bars because everything I find seems to be compatible with rails that have a gap between the roof the rails themselves. This ain't rocket science but I'm feeling pretty dumb. So my current goal is to simply find a set of cross bars that are compatible with the existing rails and hopefully on the inexpensive side because all I'm putting up there is a single bike. Lots of options less than $70 but everything I'm finding is for those rails with the gap.

It's like I'm looking at my car but with a sweet Thule rack on it. First question...are the rails (the ones running front to back that the cross bars are attached to) something that came with the car stock or you had to add them? I bought mine used so I have no idea. Just curious. Second question...are the rails something fairly standard and you just find any ol' bike rack to add to them or they have to be specific to this setup?

2005 wagon with roof rails (no idea if these are stock or were put on after the fact - doesn't matter, I guess). Leaning towards a roof mount option but I do have a sun roof I need to be cautious of. Curious what other people have done. I don't plan on doing a ton of biking so don't want to drop a lot of money on this but I'll get what I need for something safe and reliable. Don't love the idea of rear mount in fear of chipping paint or other damage. Pricing for both a hitch plus bike rack is looking like $500+. Thanks for ideas and pictures.

I'm highly allergic to paying stupid prices for cheap parts. I did find a pretty good deal on some used handles through eBay and got those as backup but after realizing that the handle was totally fine aside from the bottom hole being blown out, I simply got a $2 bracket at the hardware store and a washer. I cut the bracket with a Dremel and shaped it on my bench grinder for the bottom hole and used the washer as is for the top hole just to reinforce it. Glued in place with JB Weld and voila! No way this handle is going to fail now. I may even do the same thing to the other handles just to reinforce them.

Those prices are great! I bet even with shipping it's still a good deal compared to what I'm finding here in the US.

Daaamn...literally 2 screws to just pull it out and the part itself can't be worth more than $5 manufactured. That's a F of a markup! This might motivate me to just make one out of wood, as if I have time for that...

This plastic part is so poorly made I wouldn't be surprised if all of us have suffered the vertical pull handle break. Any ideas on where to get this part without paying an arm and a leg? I've Googled all over but can't seem to find a good source. To clarify, this is the part you grab with the rubberized grip to open/close the door - basically a vertical post.
