Yeah, brz/frs is better than frs/brz rivalries is bound to happen later on. Its already pretty obvious even now.
Not only can this be a problem for mold, but rust could be a problem as well.. not to mention and god forbid, mosquitoes. |

Are you sure there isn't a tiny drain hole in there somewhere? Of course, it could be a small design flaw, but I would think that a strut top has a hole somewhere near it that would allow any liquid to drain out. No?

Is yours the same? I am just wondering if someone else can check they too have a hole there?

That's weird, shouldn't there be a rubber grommet or something to seal it?! It's definitely an issue and I would bring it in.

Tail light condensation? Design flaw or manufacturing flaw?

Unintended acceleration? Subarus fault?
Every manufacturer, especially on first year models has issues. Your point about the chirping just shows that you are painting a generality about this cars issues that isnt true. |

There are just two plastic plugs near the rear of the car that need to be installed during PDI or moisture can get into the rear subframe. |

^^ This..
and how did you manage to notice it the day after you got the car? Only reason we noticed it was when removing the stock suspension to fit coilovers. Mark

Because those holes are used to transport the car to the dealer.

Hey buddy. The reason I noticed it was because other people who were some of the first to take delivery had the same issue. So I looked under my car in May and saw they were not installed. If you actually care about the truth you cAn look at my posts from then and see that I mentioned this then
