Spec C Roof Vent Fitted to my hatch
Think this is a first over this side of the water as I know it's been done in the states.
But after some thinking and viewing on Nasioc I thought bugger it I want one.
I wont bore you with all 78 pictures of fitting it and cutting etc etc but here are a couple of snaps of my efforts.
I know there are many hatch haters on here so I wouldn't be surprised if there were negative comments.
Heres the complete kit which I ordered through subaru Uk
lined up after doing the underside jobs
cutting the hole
Thumbs up she's out
fitting the support underneath
Cutting the roof lining
Fascia clipped into place
Open vent
Closed vent
Thats all folks

Very good mate....love the roof vents, cold in winter though as there's no point in having it and having it closed!

No negativity from me.... I've had 2 fitted so far and I'm on number 3 now as the RA has one as standard, brilliant mod not only visually but for usage

The roof wasn't as bad as i thought nerve wise, it was more the inside roof lining I was bricking it lol

Roughly the same as buying the kit from Japan parts & paying delivery in the end, long story but what was thought to come with the kit didn't
so had to order more parts.
