danz75 Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 So I recently noticed that on my rear passenger door, the black exterior strip between the door and the window can be easily pulled off. Upon closer inspection, I see that there are some screw holes(maybe) and the screws must have fallen off. On the rest of the doors, it does not pull off. does anyone know what screws they are and how do I get access to screw them in? This is on a 2003 Outback wagon. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I replaced this same strip on my Forester. If your's is the same, these holes are not really screw holes, but meant for rubber plugs that come with the seal. It might be easier to find these at a salvage yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have to take off the interior door liner to get it installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so, nothing had to be removed for mine. With it, I Yanked it out and discovered it sits in a track like piece of aluminum, moreover, it took a little practice to correctly get the new one in and seated. Wait to the very last step before you put the rubber plugs in their holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait to the very last step before you put the rubber plugs in their holes. I contacted Jamie and she sent me some very helpful diagrams to help me find the missing part. I tried to find the rubber plugs but after looking at the diagram carefully and re-examining the door, I think what I'm missing is a screw instead of the rubber plugs that you mentioned. I took a look at the other doors and all the doors have a screw in that position. Will just take the screw out of the other side and go to the hardware store to find a similar replacement.
