name that peice

[theflystyle]

i think the cold might have gotten to my car....

 

for no reason one morning, after shutting my door, the peice on the door part, which meets the corner of the window and the side mirror fell off. after looking the three holes which secure in the window cracked and casued the foam and the black interior part to break off. i would just glue it back on but i occasionaly remove my door and glueing would not allow for easy removal. i looked at first subaru parts for "sailfin" but it didnt bring up anything..

 

anyone know where i can get one of these, and maybe the offical word for the item??

 

thanks

It's called the front window Gusset. The triangle shaped piece toward the front pf the window where the outside mirror attaches. This is held by either 2 ot 3 bolts. you see them after you remove the inner door panel. Common replacement for 'wind noise' at highway speeds. As they wear, the rubber seal on the outside of the glass leaves crack. Just large enough to sound like the window is open a little bit at highway speed and cause a nuisance.

Most Subaru dealer stock this item.
