Hi - don't know if this is old news, but I was having trouble finding Lift Gate Stays for a 2003 Forester and came across http://www.subarupartsforyou.com Dealer parts counter priced at $69 each, ordered them for $49 ea. $10 ship is not a bad deal considering cost and time driving to the dealer. They are a branch of a very successful dealership in CT. "At SubaruPartsForYou not only do we offer lots of accessories we also have a huge inventory of genuine Subaru parts priced far below Subaru's factory list prices. With over 35,000 part numbers available, we have or can get any part for just about any Subaru. Please email us with your part request or inquiry and we will contact you with availability and prices. You can use our "contact information" tab at the top of this home page. Please give as much information as possible if you are inquiring on parts other than accessories, including VIN number, model, year, engine, etc. We will attempt to give you a timely response regarding prices, etc..."

No dice, in spite of their declaration "All the parts your car will ever need" Thanks

Thanks, found some at subarupartsforyou.com at $49 ea. was hoping for under $30 from aftermarket - I'll check to see how much they are from the dealer.

Thanks, Advance shows "universal" supports, so I will try them. Hard to see why a 2003 Forester would be "offbeat," maybe there hasn't been demand yet. BTW - Your "realizing" is way off the mark. I simply registered, and wrongly assumed that the state that I entered would be visible. Why not just suggest that a guy ought to put more info in his profile... instead of getting "cute" on me?

Hi, Message board looks good! I'm hoping someone can steer me to a source for replacement supports for the rear lift door on a 2003 Forester. Online searches for hatch supports, hatch struts etc. turn up replacements by Stabilus or others that fit various Subaru models, but not the Forester. Info greatl appreciated, Thanks, SN
