    On this video: 1st off i bought this hood protector for my 2021 forester, His is 2019. There is no video for a 2021 forester. I assumed it would be the same ''its not" its the same oem subaru number but its not the same application. The Grooves? are placed differant. This video leaves out crucial info on were exactly, certain clips go to adhere properly ! This is not a simple task and as he mentioned no instructions included and no video available for a 2021. He does give it a good attempt but? he's not very precise and refers to holes but actually grooves ! Im mechanically inclined and had to make several alterations due to the cheap plastic pieces and does not give "Any extra" when you drop them and cant find. Overall, it dresses up the hood but? very time consuming, and i purchased for 99.00 total which i would not spend a penny more for plastic hardware mainly, and a subaru decal.....

    Would you have any idea why the cooling system would make a vibrating/rattling noise? It’s the copper piece that looks like a CO2 cartridge right beneath the fan, under the coils. The rattling/vibrating noise stops when I touch that piece. Started a few weeks ago and I took it all apart, cleaned it, but as soon as the machine start producing ice, the rattle was back. The copper is warm to the touch, so I’m hesitant to put any foam/insulation around it.

    Great video! Concise and to the point. At 2:06 in the video, an easier solution for bottom panel removal is to slide the unit over the edge of a table. There are four slots along the bottom. Insert a flat blade screwdriver into each slot and you will hear a "click" and that releases the clips for that section. Once you hear four "clicks", the bottom is easily removed, and you don't risk breaking anything. I recently discovered this as I took my unit apart for the water pump replacement and a thorough deep cleaning. Also be sure to use distilled water and it should help with any excess scale build-up.

    2020 Forester sport here... The ac line is dangerously close to the wiring harness bracket on the driver side. Also, probably don't have to unplug the ECU at all if you can just move the harness enough. Furthermore, the driver rear ignition coil required undoing the harness clip with a flat head and DO NOT lose this clip, and then pulled out the coil towards the front and up of the engine bay. Your extensions are going be slightly too short and just too long to really inconvenience you as much as possible 😂. Good luck if you are taking on the good ol boxer spark plugs on.

It also comes with a wired remote control, but that plugs in at the winch whenever you want to use it. As for the lights, I did everything the hard way first time around.
