Hey all.
Just got a 2003 Outback Wagon the other night. Love it, especially
with all the snow we've had lately. But I've noticed that once I get
up to about 40mph I get pretty noticeable wind noise from the driver's
side window, which I'm sure is due to there being no frames around the
windows. I've read several other posts from people who had the same
issue, and they mentioned having the dealer either "reseat" the
window, or adjust the window tension against the seal. But since mine
is no longer covered under warranty, and the nearest Subaru dealer is
25 miles away with unconvenient hours, are these things easy for me to
do myself?? How much would a dealer charge for something like that
anyway, since I'd have to pay for it since it's not under warranty any
longer. It drives me crazy now that I've noticed it. I sat in the
passenger side last night while my husband drove, and I didn't hear
any noise from that side at all - just the driver's side window seems
to be the problem.
Also - I'd like to get an Armrest Extender for that useless center
armrest (sits way too low and far back), but the dealer and
subarugenuineparts.com both told me that Subaru didn't offer them for
the 2003. WTF? I know they're available for other OBW years - would
another year's Armrest Extender be compatible with the '03?
