problem #1

Aug 242005

Forester 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 15,000 miles
1. no failure yet. Center, rear passenger, roof mounted, seatbelt is currently not being used on a 2004 Subaru Forester X. 2. 10lb tug on the center, rear passenger, roof mounted, seatbelt on a 2004 Subaru Forester X will cause the headliner to cave. Further inspection of the seatbelt retractor unit found that it's mounted on a thin gauge metal (bendable) flap bolted to the roof with one bolt. 3. nothing has been yet. It's a new item problem.
