Hey i am looking to get a sunroof installed (wifey wants it), and wanted to know the best place to order it so i dont get F$&^%& by the dealer...
Also i have a 04 and the rear seats dont fold down but ive heard the rear STI seats fold down... where can i get rear seats for my 04 that fold down?? Please help thanks!Thumbs Up !Cry!
Sun roofs are definatley worth it. It would be nice if you got one that is bigger then the stock one if it is possible. Plus i would like to have rear seats that fold down so that I can throw my snowboard back there. So far i have fit 3 snowboards and a pair of skis through that lil tiney hole.

If I'm not mistaken only the seats in the Wagons fold down. The Sedan seats do not fold across the entire Impreza line. If they had them for the STi they'd offer them in all trim levels of the Impreza. (It would actually be cheaper to make it standard) Sorry but I'm pretty sure you are out of luck unless you have the Wagon for folding seats.
No i am pretty sure i heard that the STI seats fold down i may be wrong and i defenitely see your point, but i am still interested to see if i can get soem seats that fold.
I just went to Subaru website to confirm. They do not list it as afeature anywhere. If you go to configure an STi click the view window sticker button. It is not listed there. No folding rear seats.
There's a shop in Virginia Beach that does them, but I dont think you want to drive to Virginia for that. Just ask around body shops, they usually do it, and its expensive.
What's wrong with after-market sunroofs, out of curiosity. One of the members on WRX Fanatics has one, and it looks nice and clean and he said there werent any problems with it.

There are not any problems if you get it done by a qualified shop. A local ASC certified company did sunroofs in two of our cars, and we have had one for over 15 years without the first leak or rust spot.
I personally would have a reputable aftermarket company do it. They have more experience, better materials and equipment, and better prices than a dealership. All of them that I know of will guarantee their work for the life of your car as well.
I heard that it allows the body to twist more when going around a corner but im not sure if the guy knew what he was talking about. Of course that would add more stress.

That is another drawback. It will cause the car to flex if you replace the rigid structure of the roof with rubber and glass.
As far as the hole not rusting my pops used to sell new cars. A lot of aftermarket sunroofs leak/rust. Many do not. It IS a risk you have to consider. I personally object to them. I also never used the moonroof in my Maxima very often so I wouldn't pay extra for one to be put in. If it was from the Subaru factory that is the best. It is covered by warranty and they tend not to leak/rust like aftermarket (most have drainage lines built in to keep water from sitting in there to cause the problems) Also the aftermarket ones don't usually have a sunshade and that sun shining down thru the roof can get quite irritating.
I had the head liner out of my wagon the other day (grown) and if youve ever seen the subaru roof you can tell its a rally car, im suprised they even made a model with a sunroof.
