Yes, I have a 2006 Baja turbo and took it to a place that specializes in caps and tonneau covers and they fashioned a lock with a latching arm for me. I think the franchise was called Cap World but most of those places can fix it for you...

Silver camper shell--still available? How much?

For some reason my key fob will unlock my 2006 Baja Turbo but won't lock it. I changed to the unused 2nd key fob I had and it does the same thing--unlocks but won't lock the doors. I can lock the doors by using the switch on the driver's door and closing it and the key fobs will unlock it but no go ...

I did speak with Ozzbros and they still make a bed cover for $695 but do not supply the locks for the original cover. They said the lock for the Ford Sport Trac may work so I'll check into that.

OK, thanks for the info. I'll give him a call.

The shaft of the bed cover lock broke and my dealer contacted Subaru who said that there are no replacement parts available.

Anyone have an idea how I can rig a replacement lock/latch for the bed cover?

Chuck

It is not normal and if it smells like burning plastic it is not mold or mildew and is most likely a short. I'd have it checked out if you smell it again because if it is a short it could cause a fire.
Chuck

Yes, I do. They're great in the rain as well. I live in Maryland and we get everything from slushy snow to ice to hard pack. These tires perform so well that I keep them on all my cars year 'round. I've used them on a Volvo wagon, a VW Passat and my Baja. Very good performers, handle well, good trac...

I've had great snow and ice performance with Conti Extreme Contacts. Good price on them too from the tire rack...

Chuck

That $140 sounds a lot more reasonable than the $270 my dealer quoted me for it. I'm thinking I'll just take it to an independent repair shop or tranny place and have them do it instead. Changing Diff fluid and tranny fluid isn't rocket science...

Chuck

Thanks for the responses--I don't tow anything so I should be OK, but I think I will have the fluids changed since I like to keep and drive my vehicles for a long time. I'll change it now and again at 70K.

Chuck

The Subaru dealer says I should change the tranny fluid and front & rear differential oil at 30,000 miles. My regular mechanic says it isn't necessary. Anyone know whether it is important to change or just another dealer profit margin up-sell?

Just use the setting one position to the left with the AC and Recirc on. It will send air to the defroster and also to the floor but works just as well as the defrost only setting and you can select your fan speed as well. Chuck I use the climate control button that circulates air flow to the car to...

I ended up getting the Continental Conti Extreme Contact, which I've used on my other vehicles. Good tires, excellent in snow and rain, and relatively inexpensive...

After two more starts (trips) when the car was warmed up pretty good the codes cleared themselves. I forgot to mention that in addition to the codes the cruise control switch was blinking and cruise control didn't work. After they cleared themselves everything has been running normally since. Go fig...
