Windshield Solar shield--EZ Pass by baboot
Jun 09, 2009 (4:19 pm)

We recently purchased a 2009 Subaru Forester Limited. Just now when attaching my EZ Pass, I noticed what seems to be a solar shield (?) above the rear view mirror that is about a 16" x 4". This is exactly where I want to install the velcro adhesives for the transponder. But, I am wondering if the EZ Pass will work. I am thinking perhaps not.
 
Any one have any experience with this or know anything about this "shield" and if transponders are blocked by it?

Hi there...I have a 2009 limited also and the solar shield is great. Yes, the EZpass works!

Set up your CarSpace profile page at http://www.carspace.com/tinycadon - you can build photo albums there for all to view. Just upload the photos into an album from your computer, and everyone can go to your page and see them.

I installed mine just below that solar shield, to the right of the mirror. Works fine!

Essential options for Subaru Forester? by boho

I'm buying a S.F. in a month and want to do it as cheaply as possible. Prefer no options except for automatic transmission which my wife demands. Is there any option you think is really desirable? I'm retired and will be driving around Boulder, CO, so except for some trips to ski resorts, pretty mundane driving. I'd like your opinion on really useful options?

If you're living in Colorado I would absolutely recommend the All-Weather-Package (AWP). It includes heated seats (a winter must-have!), heated outside mirrors (dries the mirrors in the rain and snow), and the windshield deicer (helps prevent ice buildup on the front wipers).
 
This package is not available on the base Forester X, but is optional on the X Premium, and is standard on Limited models.
 
I know you want to save money, but I really think this is worth the extra money. We have it on two of our Subarus, and would never buy another Subaru without the AWP. The first time you use the bun warmers on cold winter morning, you will be sold, I guarantee it.

It will work!! If you are not sure, next time passing through toll booth hold it up with your hand, but I have had a few vehicles with that "shield" and no problem

I have the 2.5X with 4AT and love it.
 
I agree -- the only option I wish I had is the wiper de-icer and mirror heater -- but, these become very expensive considering you must upgrade to the premium.
 
Winter wiper blades do help with ice and snow, especially if the car sits out overnight in winter.

Well, if you're going to live with a vehicle for 5 or more years, I'd get as much car as I can afford. Perhaps better stated is get a car with the features you want. Otherwise you may have regrets.
 
I've never been one to buy the "cheapest" car out there. Every time I've done that, I've been sorry in the long run.
