John has told me Subaru have resolved the issue but he is trying to see what they offer those that have 'suffered'
If I was you I would contact parts and when they ask for payment tell them to speak to John as he will sort it out later but you are right he is well snowed under at the moment!

Yes i got an email from him today to that effect. But i resolved it by simply placing 2 pieces of sticky back felt where the boot bump stops touch the inside of the boot So waiting to see what Subaru offer as a fix. I know it will probably be the BRZ bump stops and a different weather strip, that wont fix the chipped paint though Fortunately on mine its not very noticeable and just 2 tiny chips.
Also heard the fuel flaps have a problem opening sometimes.

The embarrassment was immense so snuck off home to practice & develop a technique.
Its odd as within 10 mins of picking it up back in May i stopped filled up no probs. I've got the knack now plenty of practice
Nice run out Saturday in The Peaks, Edale thanks.

To be fair I had the same flap issue on my last hatch '61' plate thought they would have resolved this one by now. So apart from the flap and the boot issue which I understand is being sorted by Subaru no other issues to report?

Jesus ! Thought it was just my ineptitude??? Yes the fuel flap is similar to Arkwrights till (Open All Hours) as you sneak up on it, approaching from the blind side, and the very second you're in touching distance it pings ****king shut

That's pretty bad. What's the fix for this and what's Subaru doing about yours?

Like i said BRZ bump stops and a different weather strip. Or as I have done 2 pieces of sticky backed felt stops the bootlid moving about. Still waiting on the dealer for what Subaru will do. I would expect them to get a decent bodyshop to paint the chipped area at least.

It was the pic order, The white one, then the blue one stateside with the adapted Ht auto arches.
A comment was made that they'd soon be replicated in between.
Thought they'd been quick off the mark, that's all.

This vid sums up the chip issue pretty well. It WILL happen eventually. So prevent it now, before it does. The only good thing about all this is it proves that the wing is producing a decent amount of downforce at speed

I don't own a 2015 , however the bump stop issue is related to just about every MY there is in one form or another ... The small rubbers causing the plastic strip to indent , resulting in a rattle & movement of boot .
Now before you all start laughing
I tried loads of diff ways to eradicate this on my Hawk .
Sticking rubber or felt does work to some extent but looks a bit tacky & depending on how often you open your boot it will eventually revert back to rattling etc ...
Here's the funny bit
After trying loads of ways I killed it dead by using
Washing machine tumble lock stops
They stop the tumble moving on new delivery ( plastic locks with rubber grommet & feet .
I removed the rubber , they were a perfect fit to slide over the existing bump stops . Boot shuts firmer , is solid , no rattle , no movement .... Killed it
