    Forester/Sunseeker classic valve stems

    The brochures I have seen state the Classic version of the Forester and Sunseeker have valve stem extensions without any specific description. What type are used by the factory and are they usable? Specifically the inner wheels of the rear dually configuration. I don't have an example anywhere...

    2021 Forester 3011DS Leveling Jacks

    I have just purchased the 2021 Forester 3011DS, and I have a question about the leveling jacks. I noticed that when the jacks are retracted they only are about four inches off the ground. Has anyone with this model ever had trouble going up steep drive ways or over speed bumps? They seem way too...

    New Forester/Sunseeker

    Just curious on the recent changes to the outside trim, missing bumper and front cap on the Foresters/Sunseekers. I saw one the other day and it seems odd looking to me. Is there a reason they trim everything in black? I do like the front cap. I would miss not having the bumper.

    We are still figuring a few things out on our used 2019 Forester. We have 2x lights like this that I have found, one by the toilet, one in the entry by the steps. Can't figure out how they turn on. They don't seem to be triggered by any light switches or doors. Maybe broken? Any ideas what might...

    Storage mod for Forester 2251

    So the driver-side rear storage hatch is big, but not very functional. I wanted to add a shelf somehow to make it easier to use, but didn't want to add too much weight or poke holes in the bin. I noticed the screws holding the upper siding in and realized I could add a shelf there. So, I used...

    Forester Battery Disconnect Switch

    Our 2021 Forester 2151LE has a 3 position battery disconnect switch: "On", "Off", and "Actuator Out". I understand the first 2, but what does "Actuator Out" position do? Owner's manual is no help - dealer is no help.

    2019 Forester 2420MS with preinstalled solar

    We just purchased a 2019 2420MS, former rental unit apparently, with preinstalled solar. It's got a zamp zs-30 ad. It appears on this controller that battery 1 is set to AGM and battery 2 is set to wet. While I could probably sort this out with some disassembly, I'm hoping someone can tell me...
