October 4, 20196 yr I've pulled many 90-2000 window regulators and motors. Anyone have experience with a 2011? A friend is bringing her's over soon. Thanks, Larry
October 5, 20196 yr Author Gone are the motor gear and track. It's now a motor and cable 1/16" or so. One strand of the cable broke and jammed things up. Much easier to remove but not as reliable. Later
October 5, 20196 yr haven’t seen newer motors/tracks yet, just bad switches. Not on any 2010+ Subaru windows, but on a couple models with limited space, or wrecked ones, I’ve swapped color matched doors. Around here roughly around 10-15 years old seems a sweet spot of finding a low price, no rust, and non-faded paint so a door swap sometimes is a good fit.
October 5, 20196 yr Author 2010 - 2014 is the interchange range. If you can't roll the window down, it's hard to get to the FWD window to regulator bolt. The car I pulled it from the door was trash anyway so I cut the interior metal to get at the bolt. Easy R&R.
October 7, 20196 yr Author I pulled the old on apart to see how it was put together. Motor and cable spool are all one unit. Since it was junk, I pulled it apart. Yes, while it's possible you'd never change just one part of the regulator. Just buy the complete assembly. It's over $800 from Subaru but under $50 a you pull yards. 2010 - 2014 is the interchange range. Outback, Legacy, for sure.
