98 Outback Cargo cover parts/taillight reflector sources


Recommended Posts

My cargo cover right side pin that snaps into the groove broke about 4 years ago. I have not been able to use it since. I found out you can get these replacement parts from the dealer for something like $5. Of course it is just a small plastic replacement piece, but I would have figured I would have had to buy a whole new replacement cover.

 

Anyone know of a good source for new or replacement tailight parts? The dealer price is for the reflector is $135. I would rather buy new instead of a used one. Any reliable, cost effective sources would be appreciated. I bought a brand new one for my Dodge Ram for only $50 (after market).

generally, i'd rather buy used than aftermarket, but that's just me.

I typically prefer used OEM to new aftermarket as well. "they don't just fit, they match" - you don't hear than one anymore.

 

Also lenses should be replaced in pairs if you're going aftermarket.

 

I should have a few of those lenses around but they would need shipped. Not new but servicable.

Yeah, I prefer OEM in most cases, this part is a deal breaker though. Send me a PM on what your asking for the part. Is it compatible to fit a May-98 Legacy Outback? Thanks Bro.
