If anyone has a 1996-2000 Impreza, (with the non-cable operated gas flap), could you snap a photo of the latch assembly on the body side and also on the flap side? (and Post or email) I can't figure out what is missing on mine!

 

  Thanks!!!

Nobody with a 1996 or greater Impreza?

No cable = no latch

 

Should just push open.

  Actually, here's the story:

 

      In 1996 these cars changed to a metal flap lid and no interior cable release. The 1993-1995 Imprezas had a plastic flap and an interior cable release.

 

   The plastic lids get brittle and the hinges break, (may be gas fumes that cause it), anyway, I have replaced with the "metal flap". The portion of the latch that is on my car differs from those 96 and up cars. I have the parts for the 96 and up, but I can't figure out how it all goes on.

 

 Thanks

maybe you can find some info here: http://jdmfsm.info/Auto/Japan/Subaru/Impreza/

If you don't get your answer quickly I will get a hold of my nephew's 97 impreza and get some pictures for you.

 Thank you guys.....I have the manuals for the car, but it just shows the parts and not so much how they go together. Thanks for the links though!
