  1. Same here. I wonder if there is a torque spec? Still not burning oil since I changed the part. Hoses are in good shape too.
  2. Yep it's the seal. The structure flexes over bumps and anything less than a flexible seal will produce rattling from overhead. Maybe the seal material is substandard? Or maybe it is caused by the rigid architecture. I also do all of the door and trunk seals when I do the sunroof. Helps with wind noise in the cabin
  3. Experienced the same issue with my 2015. I clean the sunroof seal and apply this stuff. Colder temps increase the rattling. When fall/winter rolls around and the symptoms reappear, I re-apply and the problem disappears for 3-6 months.
  4. This is a good PSA. My 2015 3.6r started burning about 1 quart of oil every 2k. The PCV valve had 50k, so I decided to make this the first step in troubleshooting. After 2k on the new part, not a drop of oil burned. Engine has 120k.
  5. I have driven the Continental DWS06, the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+, and the Bridgestone Turanza QuietTrack. My favorite is the QuietTrack. The DWS06 has amazing grip in the wet and especially the snow. NVH is acceptable but you do feel the bumps and imperfections in the road and they get noisier with more miles. Ride quality is good, the tires keep you planted in turns and stay straight on the highway. The turn-in is a little mushy at first, which isn't the best compliment to the already numb steering feel. Braking is awesome. The Pilot Sports are better than the DWS06 in my opinion. I tried to break the grip in all kinds of conditions (except snow) and they never let go. You can drive in the wet as if the roads are dry, even at higher speeds and temps in the mid 30's and 40's. These are super responsive and provide clear and instant feedback. Turn-in is instant. The steering is improved, but almost darty. Braking is awesome. Both of the above get noisier with more miles. And both transmit a lot of feedback - including feedback from crappy roads. Also, both caught nails like magnets. I had to use the Discount Tire add-on warranty to replace both sets due to nails. The QuietTrack is an all-season Grand Touring which is the OEM spec. I only have a few hundred miles on them, but in my opinion this is the best choice. Ride quality is excellent, these soak up most of the bumps and live up to their name in terms of noise. They are super quiet, even on pitted and rough roads. You can hear the purr of the 3.6 and music is much better. Big improvement. Steering and handling are excellent; not as sporty as the DWS06 or Pilot Sports, but then they are not trying to be sporty. Treadlife is supposedly 80k, which probably translates to a harder, more durable rubber.
  6. This doesn't look too bad. But no idea if this translates for the '15 Legacy.
  7. I have some Christmas cash burning a hole in my pocket and am looking for a cheap & easy upgrade Does the design of the 6 gen make this part redundant? It seems like the older Legacy's and other Subie models have plenty of options.
  8. Has anyone found a Master Cylinder Brace for the 6th gens? I can't find anything using search.
  9. Another vote for OEM. Braking is one of the better features on this car. FF to the 10:44 mark on this vid for a good description.
  10. Whoah! Obviously we'll need some audio as well
  11. Would love to see some video of this setup.
  12. Thanks. Link to part @ subie genunine parts. At that price, might be tempted to leave it unlit.
  13. Thanks Jdog81. I haven't attempted this yet - but I thought that I would only be replacing bulbs. Can you provide a link for the part? I tried searching with just the part number, but no luck.
