Got this on my classic too. Got no reply to my question so sort of figured out there should be a large grommet type ring with grooves around its outer edge to fit into the hole and hold the plastic or nylon bush in place. Tried contacting a Subaru dealer and he didnt even know what the bulkhead was, never mind locate the replacement rubber seal

Its not fixed at that point there should be a rubber bung that it sits in where it goes through the bulkhead on the classics there are 2 different size holes in the bulkhead between the early RA prefacelift and the later classics cant remember off the top of my head which way round it was tho.

May have to remove the column , lube the grommet and gently guide it back intoo place
