JT95 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I've seen a few 95-99 generation Legacy wagons with a rear spoiler. I would have called it a visor, but I guess it is a spoiler. Anyway, I've never seen one listed on eBay and have not been able to find one in a local salvage yard. I think I'd like one on my 95 wagon. Were they only on LTD Outback wagons? Anybody know if it is indeed called a rear spoiler or a hatch spoiler or what??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 My non-LTD Oh Bee has one also I have heard it refered to as a "wind deflector" I think they were an option item. Possibly dealer installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp98 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 It is a wind deflector and is suppose to keep the rear window clearer by forcing the air across it while you are driveing, and they are factory and won't be found on Ebay or aftermarket.

porcupine73 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I think this is the part you are talking about. It's 'spensive tho and primed only which means paint yourself to your color....salvage yard maybe http://www.car-part.com might be the way to go, might even find it already in your color!

Skip Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Thanks Porc, I sit corrected I think. The picture almost looks like it has an opening in the center of it. (like a trunk mounted normal spoiler would) Mine has no such opening?? But YIKES 369 greenies!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine73 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 hey nice posting of the diagram! Hm good point, that does look open there. Not sure. My '00obw doesn't have one of those spoiler things nor does my '94....my '96 has something like that but it's just a piece of flat black metal: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skip Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I have had/have the model on your maroon wagon on several of my GL wagons. The dust deflector looks even different.?? Thanks for the good job, you are my mentor. (I like the first picture of your three wagons-- fine stable you have there) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine73 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Hm....interesting. Maybe the non-open deflector is not available as an add-on part. Time to check cars101.com. The three soob lineup wagons unite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine73 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 cars101.com typically shows for that era outback: Rear Spoiler - wagon only $295. [i think the 'only' refers to the wagon, not the price ]. Rear Dust deflector $115 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheYeti Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 My '97 has the deflector similar to the red Legacy above. I refinished it because I couldn't find the OEM type anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT95 Posted January 17, 2008 Author Share Posted January 17, 2008 Thanks for the great feedback. Yeah, I want the spoiler and not the dust deflector. I appreciate having the name looked up and verified. I'll see if I can call some out-of-state salvage yards that have lots of foreign cars and see if I have any luck. I can't pay the OEM part price--wow! I assume they are fiberglass or plastic? I think they add a nice look to the wagons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 The one on my Oh Bee is fiberglass I believe. If you want I'll get some shots of how it mounts. For my man Porc Wagons away!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine73 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Hey hey yes wagons unite ftw! Round up the wagons! What is the purple one in the bottom pic? Is that an LSi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster2 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I have a 98 Legy OBW Limited with the air deflector, and a 99 Legy OBW (non Limited) without it. The deflector must be part of the Limited package option. Having both cars, I don't see that it makes much difference. The tail gate glass on both my Subies seem to pick up the same amount of dirt.
