HarryD Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Would anyone with access to a parts catalog be able to look up a few parts for me? I am trying to order the small air deflector at the lower front of the passenger side rear wheel opening of my '05LGT, along with the plastic "pop-it's" that secure it. It did not survive our New England winter and my dealership parts guy isn't having any luck in looking it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryD Posted March 18, 2011 Author Share Posted March 18, 2011 I looked through quite a few parts websites without any luck, but it seems that I was not looking in the right category, as I seem to have found it on this site in Rocker Panel Trim pieces. I believe that the part that I need is marked #9. Thanks for pointing me to this site. I quess that I will have to take apart the drivers side to determine which fasteners that I need, as it is not clear in this view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windy Road Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Ahh that part. I lost one too. Then I had to take the other side off to match. I'm not putting mine back in. I'd have a feeling I'd rip them back out again. 276hp/347tq On a DynoJet Dyno Video - Had a big lean spot as you can tell in the second pull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJS5689 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I find it funny how Subarus just shed parts. I'm missing some plastic inside the wheel well as well, along with other various little things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Why worry about it. I think I lost one or both years ago. Who cares. Oh may be that's why my car uses oil, and has tranny issues.

snow05gtRI Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 aerodynamics, my friend. and i'm not worried, but they're there for a reason... why add such a tiny, seemingly inconsequential part? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KartRacerBoy Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 aerodynamics, my friend. and i'm not worried, but they're there for a reason... why add such a tiny, seemingly inconsequential part? I lost mine within 6 months of buying my 05 new. When I found out the part cost $50 at the dealer I told them they could have it. I can't imagine it has $50 of aero value.

Vitamin_G Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I took mine off about 15k miles ago and have noticed a lot of paint chipping on the rear areas of both side skirts (above & behind where this aero peices used to attach). Has anyone else noticed this as more of a problem after removing the deflectors or is the chipping a common issue regardless? Would it be safe to assume that more rocks and crap are going to get sucked against the side of the vehicle with these removed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone else noticed this as more of a problem after removing the deflectors or is the chipping a common issue regardless? Would it be safe to assume that more rocks and crap are going to get sucked against the side of the vehicle with these removed? That seems unlikely even if you factor in the buffeting from the non-deflected air. I have a lot of chipping in that location even with the factory (dealer option) splash guards. Most of that chipping comes from debris thrown by the front tires and the slightly outward protrusion of the rocker panel right before the rear tire. My 2 cents. Also, somehow mine have stayed on for almost two years with only one pop-it each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mill Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Ive lost one of those. Also, my car has shed about half of its pop-its. I need to buy a bulk of them and just spend a day sticking them in every hole I find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vitamin_G Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I noticed I had lost a few myself but didn't think much of it until it flew off and found the dealer wanted $40+ to replace the damn thing...CONSPIRACY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanlucas13 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I actually just picked one up from the parts department at my Subaru dealership a couple weeks ago. They had it in stock, so that tells me it is a common part to replace. It did cost around $40 and they threw in some pop-its. Didn't take too long to put on, had to remove part of the rocker panel to get the old one out that was broken. If you need part numbers let me know and I can try to help you.
