Anyone else thinking about the door stabilizer?

Eliminated some buzzing at my b pillar? Haha to be honest 95% of people won't feel a difference with these, and even then it could be just a placebo KNOWING it's there. I haven't really felt any difference with them on. You need to bring the car to its handling limits on the track to really notice anything.

the door still closes very easily. and yes the black is plastic so there is no rubbing you have to worry about at all.

I installed these and the next day my 401k had doubled in value. I was a bit skeptical like everyone else, but when I decided to pull the trigger and order these suckers, it was the best decision I ever made. The minute I opened the box I knew something great was going to happen. My girlfriend finally shut up, and my landlord stopped by to tell me I didn't owe rent for the rest of the year. Best purchase I ever made. Door stabilizers ftmfw.

Anyone have any solutions about door not being properly aligned after having these installed. I had my Toyota dealership install these for me, they were the first ones they had done or even seen...so they did it free of charge. Maybe not the best idea on my part.

Anyways, now the passenger side door closes all the way, but sticks out ever so slightly at the top corner compared to drivers side. We are talking millimeters, but enough to cause added wind noise at highway speeds and condensation inside the window when temperature drops at night.

Took it to the dealership and they are clueless how to adjust the striker plate on the car body frame side (I am assuming lower it a touch) to solve the issue. Telling me the door needs to be completely realigned and they dont do that, body shops/collision repaies shops do...and they can recommend one.

Please help me inform them what to do to fix this themselves or help me trouble shot it myself?

200ish.
It makes the car more rigid. Mitch like adding stiffer strut bars or something. It could possibly shave some time off your lap. If your needing more rigidity

Bas, It is strange that your doors are no longer aligned. In fact, for the door side the elements are automatically in the good position due to the contersunks screws. On the body side, it is a similar mounting, so I remain perplexed that something went wrong. My side, excepted the time to remove the original screws on body side (use of impact screwdriver necessary) the replacement took about 5 minutes each and both doors functioned perfectly.
Now, stating the gain provided, hum I guess it remains subjective....... Only the visual effect is certain.

Dealership didn't know what they are talking about. You can easily fix it yourself. I found it easiest by loosening the screws and hitting it with a rubber mallet. There's a manual I found on another Subaru model that has the same parts as us. If you can't find it by googling i'll try to find it as well.
