PArt did not fit my 1998 Forester, My car was assebled in JUme 1998 followed red notes on ording part not even close , eneded up with dealer part which of course fit perfrctly. If the part would have fit I would have used it is constructed very well
Delivery was on time , unsure of customer service haven't tried to return the part.
NOTE FROM CUST SERVICE: the red note states before 8/1997 if yours is assembled in June 1998- it would be after this one.
