Broken Bed Cover lock/latch & no Subaru replacement parts

Post by Caaron »

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?

There were aftermarket hard bed covers made by www.ozzbros.com I have one and love it but have replaced the lock mechanism twice. They can probably set you up if this is what you have. Contact Roger at Ozzbrows at 913 908-8181.

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.

I don't know if you are still looking for one of these, but I call BS on your dealer. I just got a new latch post from subarupartswarehouse.com in March, along with some brackets for the cover frame. I had no keys for the lock, took them down to my local 100 yr old lock shop and they had me two new keys in like 10 minutes (and made sure that both locks were keyed the same..). In case you need locks I think the woman said they had something similar as a replacement if I needed them?
