September 25, 201114 yr Will a door from a 99 legacy driver front fit a 96 wagon? Found a nice one and I'm at the u pull it place now!
September 25, 201114 yr Any 95-99 Legacy door will fit. Trim level (L, Gt, Outback, etc) does not matter.
September 25, 201114 yr things like slight option differences - heated side view mirrors, addition of a door lock switch, and the bottom foot area light on some. then of course the interior trim and exterior paint/cladding/decals may differ slightly. but it will bolt up and plug in and work just fine. swap the interior bits off the old door to match.
September 25, 201114 yr Author Thanks guys.Scored a hood with scoop,fender and 2 doors all rust free for 160.00..doors are for my 96 and hood (with scoop!)and fender for the 95 im fixing.
September 25, 201114 yr Author Also the guy at the yard said 1996 doors are a one year deal? But he thought it was a minor change and they should fit.I got all parts off a 98 outback wagon.
September 25, 201114 yr Also the guy at the yard said 1996 doors are a one year deal? they interchange just fine and are the same *door*. but there are wiring differences. i forget exactly but i think in 1996 you had to use the toggle of the door lock, at the handle to lock/unlock the doors, and the 96 doesn't have a button. later models also had an electrical button in the panel. some models also have foot lights down really low in the bottom rear corner that the 96 doesn't have. but again those are trim/electrical differences - they still interchange and swap and interior bits swap too. going from a later model onto a 96 won't matter - you'll loose options you never had!! if you installed 96 door onto a 98 you wouldn't have the wiring for those extra lights/switch - so you'd loose those or have to swap the entire wire harness in the door. i've done these 96/non-96 swaps before and while i might have some specifics off, that's pretty accurate.
