Thanks, I'll take a look. Does it seem odd that both windows would do it together on the same day, when neither one had ever done that before? Just coincedence, I guess.

Recently, the windows on the driver's side of my '96 Outback Wagon have started occassionally violently shaking as they go up and down. Badly enough that they seem to be scratching the glass. Of course, when I went to take it in to the mechanic, they weren't doing that, and were fine for another week. Then a couple of days ago they started doing it again. At one point, the driver's window went down about 2 inches and then just stopped. (Naturally, this was at a toll both, making things very very convenient.) When the mechanic looked at it, he said he didn't see any problems, but he did apply some lube to it. It seems like it might be related to heat, but I'm not 100% sure. The times I had the problem, we were definitely in the 90s with very high humidity. I can't find any other pattern.

Not a bad idea!

Thanks. That's a good idea, but the super glue idea scares me. I might need to get the stereo out again. Thing is, I think it's not just the bezel that I need, I think it's the plastic behind the bezel. And that looks to me like it's a huge piece that would be very expensive to fix. Hoping there's an easy fix ...

My 96 Outback wagon got broken into, and my radio stolen. When they did that, they broke the bezel. I replaced the stereo, but the problem is there's nowhere for the cupholder screws to screw into. The one on the left will go partially in, but the one on the right won't hold on to anything. This leaves me with a cup holder that's not very sturdy; it has, in fact, fallen out before. Would anyone know what part I need to replace, or failing that, some DIY method of fixing it? Also, they took the large pocket that goes under the stereo and above the ash tray. So now you can see the huge mass of wires back there. Anyone know what that part is? thanks.
