Impreza Door Interchange

Featured Replies

Just got a sweet deal on a '93 Impreza, front wheel drive 1.8L. Need driver door handle. Any resource info would be great~ I'm hoping the door handles stayed the same into '96...

pretty sure the doors interchange - some may have power door locks and others do not - and the handles may diff in those cases?  don't know.

I believe all doors from '93-00 are the same, minus power options and trim levels. The Door handle should be the same in all GC chassis Imprezas.

Thanks Tom & ?. A couple weekends I picked up a door for my '99 Sedan and it came off a 97 wagon, so I was hoping for the same luck with Impreza. Had to swap the wire harness and all as the 97 didn't have power door lock switch. I hate those little pastic clippy thingies~ all my black wire ties were passez, so I just anchored with electrical tape. Today, was able to reupholster the back of the back seat for the impreza...starting to breakdown the bottom of the seat. I reused the center stripe accent, reused welt, made new headrest welt out of the old slate vinyl and the black is Cordura :)

Changing the door handles is fun, I had to on my Legacy buy wanted to use the original handle for the ease of one key. Those plastic clips that hold the release and lock rods are kinda tricky, and the nuts which hold the handle to the door. We'll just say, its a fun learning experience.

 

By the way, since you have the other thread in the Members Rides section, might as well post some pics when you get a chance :)

You can remove just lock from the inside~it's held in with an e ring (e clip) if I remember. I will confess, I puttered on that door swap all day that day...removing everything except the glass in the "new" and salvaging everything from the old and installing it~ I'll post pics of the reupholstery work I'm doing for the Impreza. The headliner is loaded with punctures. Pretty sure he gave his goats rides :)
