lmdew Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I've pulled many 90-2000 window regulators and motors. Anyone have experience with a 2011? A friend is bringing her's over soon. Thanks, Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmdew Posted October 5, 2019 Author Share Posted October 5, 2019 Gone are the motor gear and track. It's now a motor and cable 1/16" or so. One strand of the cable broke and jammed things up. Much easier to remove but not as reliable. Later 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 haven’t seen newer motors/tracks yet, just bad switches. Not on any 2010+ Subaru windows, but on a couple models with limited space, or wrecked ones, I’ve swapped color matched doors. Around here roughly around 10-15 years old seems a sweet spot of finding a low price, no rust, and non-faded paint so a door swap sometimes is a good fit.

lmdew Posted October 5, 2019 Author Share Posted October 5, 2019 2010 - 2014 is the interchange range. If you can't roll the window down, it's hard to get to the FWD window to regulator bolt. The car I pulled it from the door was trash anyway so I cut the interior metal to get at the bolt. Easy R&R. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmdew Posted October 7, 2019 Author Share Posted October 7, 2019 I pulled the old on apart to see how it was put together. Motor and cable spool are all one unit. Since it was junk, I pulled it apart. Yes, while it's possible you'd never change just one part of the regulator. Just buy the complete assembly. It's over $800 from Subaru but under $50 a you pull yards. 2010 - 2014 is the interchange range. Outback, Legacy, for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
