Tiny Clark Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 Most of the fasteners around the door are just plastic expansion lugs. You can get new ones a the Subie dealer, or maybe they sell them at places like autozone. A bigger problem could be that the fiberboard door panel where the fastener is attached had been damaged. My Legacy has two screws at the upper foward edge of the door panel fitted with trim buttons. If the panel is damaged elsewhere, maybe you could get a couple of these form the dealer to match your interior color and install the screws.

nipper Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 that was going to be my response. But you need to fully remove the door panel and see whats going on, hopefully its just broken fastners. Soobys seem to have very robust door panels.. cant imagine the door panel itself falling apart, unelss it was not taken off nicely in the past. nipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
