March 17, 20179 yr Im unable to open either of the rear doors. Upon further examination it appears at least one of the hinges is cut, and possibly another is cut and removed. I would like to use the doors, but scared to open it just to have the door fall off and be unable to put it back. The car has pwr dlocks too. Ideas? Thanks
March 18, 20179 yr If the hinges are cut, it's best to get this problem resolved. Bad day if the doors break off while going down the road.
March 20, 20179 yr Author no... Its not child safety locks... Cant open inside or outside...someone tried to tango with it i can tell they messed with it.havent had time to dig too deep, but remiving a door card with the door shut isnt too fun
March 21, 20179 yr I have the same issues my back doors wont open ether but i sure it has to do with the fact that they were welded shut funny no windows ether huh no seats ether besides who needs back doors anyway lol and my outback has the exsact opposite problem there are no doors left to open or close so i guess im sayin who needs any doors anyway lol
March 21, 20179 yr Ok, always good to check the simple things first.... I never had to deal with your problem, but I'd look at removing the seat to make getting the door cards off easier?
March 22, 20179 yr Author Well i did get the door cards out. Theres a rod that moves straight down when i use the handle, but the part its connected to isnt moving, so that leaves me to think the latch mechanism to the striker bolt is the problem.
March 22, 20179 yr Author Havent had too much time. Im doing a head gasket on our van. Poor subie is on the back burner... And looked under the oil cap recently on the subaru and there is fresh water droplets. Looks like perhaps yet another headgasket is in my future...
March 22, 20179 yr maybe, maybe not. If it's exposed to extreme temperature cycles, and little driving, a little water on the oil cap I've seen. The normal tell for headgasket to cooling system leak is air getting pushed into the coolant, not the coolant into the oil. Except for 1 very bad overheat with low coolant have I seen that.
March 22, 20179 yr Author Well that makes me feel a little better. Idled it for 30 mins watching radiator for bubbles and none were there. No overheating at all. No white smoke at startup, no symptoms. hooray.
March 22, 20179 yr That is just normal condensation from combustion gases. The filler tube is long, so it gets cooled off, and this condensation occurs.
