You can do it! ;D

I had a 97 OBS awhile back. I miss it. Some cars have adjustments inside the door so you can reposition the glass. Is your glass going all the way up and sitting correctly?

uh, 90% sure They go up all the way but they doo seem kinda loose but i figured that they would not get to tight stupid 1/2 doors only good if you want to chop your car......hmmm how bad would that look, loose 4" or roof line.... ;D

Well......

I Silaconed the tops oth the weatherstriping with the black silacone, used a syringe we'll see how it works

i hit the seals with 200 grit first to make a better contact patch. if this does not work i will suck it up and get new weatherstriping...

FYI take care of your seals!!!! or this could be you....

Well i just got back from lake region imports(they are a subaru place in westbrook)

And whent in and asked them" hi a was wondering how much weatherstriping would cost for

the 2 front doors of my car" (i need all 4 but figured i would start with 2)

the guy behing the desk asks me if they are torn. I say "No, just worn out.."

He then looks at me like i am an alien.....

I then say that i tried to also tighten the tension of the window glas but that did not help.

He siad still looking at me funny" That would not fix it rian should not be getting in.."

I say well, it is. he says they cant fix it.... :

Now i have to say that these folks have always been very helpful and strait forward with me and i would refer them to any one that has mechanical problems with thier subaru

but i could not belive what they were saying...

switching gears..... I asked them if i could get some used wheels from them..

They asked what size i said 16 or 17...

They then asked me what my car had stock....

I said 15 steel wheels.

They replied that 17 would not fit but 16 MIGHT... that they might not clear the fenders....

stock 16s will deffinatly fit a OBS.

Oh i know, i could even do 17's...

what i was getting at was they should know that as well....

you could get a 97 impreza with 14-16" stock....

So if my car with 14 they probly would have said oh well 15 mabey but not 16....

Not sure if they know about plus sizing. - 205 65 15 -> 215 55 16.....

I know that i will be cutting it close with 225 tires on a wagon though....

Might have to roll fenders or get 215 tires....
