#685 of 2763 '06 arrival? by bluewolf Jun 02, 2005 (8:22 am)
When does the facelifted '06 Forester get here?   Anybody know if rebates got better for June? I'd think with the '06's arriving they'd need to clear out the existing body style Foresters...
#686 of 2763 06 by ateixeira Jun 02, 2005 (8:26 am)
Probably in about a month. I got to drive one and was impressed, NVH control is even better.   05s are already a bargain and I'm cheap so I'd buy now.   -juice

#690 of 2763 Dealer Installed Leather and Side Airbags by jdhuck Jun 07, 2005 (7:52 am)
Perhaps someone has some insight in dealing with this.   I have a 2005 Subaru Forester XT with AT. The dealer sold me the leather package for $980 dollars. I asked at time of purchase whether or not this would keep the side airbags from deploying and the answer from the dealership was "No, of course not." After reading the owners manual it says to never place anything over the side airbags. I looked closely at my seats and I was amazed at what I found. First of all there is no badging for the Side Airbags. Secondly the Leather Seats are ZIP ON seat covers (Is this standard practice?). There is no way for the airbag to deploy. I could remove the seat covers in about two minutes if I tried. The old cloth underneath has been removed from the seat back. Has anyone ever heard of this? Subaru told me that (I called the Customer Support line) if it does not have the SRS Badging, then it isn't their product and they view it as an aftermarket product and this would void my warranty if anything happened to the SRS system. Furthermore I was told that if I were in a wreck and the Side airbags did not deploy, then they could not be held responsible. I   Thoughts, Ideas or insight?   Much Appreciated< Jdhuck Replies to this message: jdhuck (Jun 07, 2005 8:41 am)

Replying to: jdhuck (Jun 07, 2005 7:52 am) One other thing:   Where is the Subwoofer in the XT? I can not find it anywhere? It is not under the seats or anywhere else that I can find. I used to install stereos and speakers so I usually have a good grasp on these things.   Thanks....   BTW, I got my car at Royal Subaru in Deacatur, GA. I got a great deal at $21,000 + 980 for the leather seats.
#692 of 2763 Leather by ateixeira Jun 07, 2005 (9:56 am)
Katskins has an SRS logo, and it's certainly not zippered on.   I would ask the dealer that question, and if they can't answer go directly to the upholstery shop that installed it (or the dealer tech that did).   Does sound strange to me.   -juice Replies to this message: jdhuck (Jun 07, 2005 10:49 am)

Replying to: ateixeira (Jun 07, 2005 9:56 am) Finally getting in touch with someone at the upholstery shop, I learn that it is Katzkin leather. Full warranty and everything that goes along with it. I spoke to the install guy and he said that all Katzkin uses zippers and it is stitched in as well, and if you want the logo you have to pay extra for the embroidery.   If you go to autoleathers.com and select your leather and install place it is much cheaper than the dealership. Lesson learned on my part. $280 cheaper at autoleathers.com using the same install shop.   Jdhuck
