If any of you fancy taking the plunge....

I've written a guide to help you

Scoobypedia | Trusted knowledge for everything Subaru | Projects / Installing a Spec C Roof Vent

 

Excellent write up there Frayz, very comprehensive indeed

 

Cheers Si

 

Great work, I love to see a tidy job done

 

Great stuff......

 

nice one frayz

you have really got me thinkin of doing this to mine now

 

Nice mate, made it look simple! I had a hilarious comment the other day from a co-worker: "thats a small sunroof isn't it?!" lol

 

Blimey u got big ***** doing that on customers/friends cars thats for sure If you got the skills, I guess it isn't a problem.

 

Done a few now mate, really isnt as scarey as it looks...

Promise

 

top job there m8. really smart when fitted well
cheers mick

 

can I ask why you remove the map light bracket ? when you can see that the bracket for the roof vent has 2 holes with screws that fit the bracket that you have removed .you should NOT remove it acts as a support for the vent .

 

When I fitted mine, I left that bracket too.

S!

 

Article has been tarted up a bit now

 

I prefered to remove it. Those holes are not tapped, just nut/bolt holes. Every other install i have seen removed the bracket too.

Added weight anyway... ha ha ha so better to remove.

All joking aside my vent is incredibly strong anyway and has taken the abuse of 145mph for testing purposes and survived with no problems

 

gr8 work guys

 

How much are the parts for this mate??

........and are you planning to be in Scotland any time soon??


Cheers,
Grant

 

Vent works aout at about £250 once its llanded and all tax/duty has been paid.

That includes all the hardware and fixings required, also its worth noting that these vents come pre-painted from the Subaru factory in Japan.
