Review on Interior Accessories for Subaru Forester 2005 2006 2007 2009 2010 Models by Corey Harris

Revainrating 2 out of 5

You must use the original key fob's metal battery clip. Save money and buy something else.

Ugh. If I had known then what I know now, I would have bought something else. I only use it because I bought it and it looks better than my dented keychain. Problems: 1) You need to move the battery clip from the original case to the new case, and it's a bit difficult to remove without bending. he lost his form. 2) Instead of the original knob design with a plastic outer shell, the replacement shell uses a single rubber grommet. I would have preferred the original setup as I wanted more of the OEM style case. Had I known, I wouldn't have bought it / 3) The fit and finish is poor. There is a gap in the fully assembled interchangeable housing. The replacement is flat and also has gaps between the button and the case. 5) The included FOB ring does not fit properly and deforms when trying to place it. Pros: It's better than nothing I guess? I don't know. Again, if I knew then what I know now, I would have spent a lot of money buying something else. I would pay more for a better quality replacement shell.

Pros
