Did you put the dyno mat on Gambit?
I offered up a normal boot brace, and there's no way it fitted the spec C, but I cant see that one working either. Your boot is very different from mine
Yeah I added the dynomat just to quieten down the rear box reverb as I get older...didn't make that much difference in truth
In what way is your boot floor different in the spec C? I would have thought the shell & floor would have been std throughout
The specC appears to have an addition foam spacer that sits on top of the purge canister covers along with a different set of foam spacers for the rear section.

Yeah so it's just what's above the evap covers that is different, so in theory the brace would still fit given it runs under the evap covers 👍
The final carpeted Trunk "Floor" in the SpecC is higher than in the UK models
Same Purge Canister covers marked in red would need to be cut as per Gambits original images.
May also need to trim the "spare wheel" insert slightly at its leading ege.

Has anyone removed the rear roof antenna/aerial from their hatch, i presume you have to drop the headliner to some degree, is it straight forward and how far do you need to drop it to gain access ?

are you looking to replace it?
funnily i had ideas myself of having to do the same when i bought one of these
but it turns out you just remove the antenna and then the new fin fits over the base, and then you screw their antenna wire into the top of the base - so no actual need to drop headliner. i havent fitted it yet - just havent got round to it!

I'm having the roof resprayed so i'm removing the aerial, i've already taken the plastic gutter rail trim off, i could leave it but their are a couple of stone chips that i wasn't happy with and a ew marks that showed up after it was detailed. As you know yourself this subaru paint and lacquer chips very easy, too easy and i'm one of them people that wants the car right as i'll put it up for sale peoperly next year as i've not had the time to sell it this year with one thing and another
Thanks Don, i'm going to try and just drop the rear of the roof trim enough where i can get at the nut of the aerial rather than drop the whole liner and risk putting a crease/kink in it.
