Hey guys, I've got a little to-do list of maintenance for my interior and im hoping you guys can help out.

1) My reading lights (on the sunroof control) are burnt out. How do i get in to replace them and what type of bulb are they?

2) My shift boot has a hole in it, any recommendations for a good replacement, preferably just black leather? (not Redline, too pricey for now)

3) Some of the weather stripping in my doors have torn where they hook in and are loose. One door is bad enough that i have to tuck the stripping in when shutting the door or it will hang out. Should i just try to reinsert the hooks that hold them in place or do i have to look into new stripping?

4) If anyone is parting out their BD or has one laying around, i need the light cover for the passenger door ground light, the one down on the bottom right corner. Ill gladly pay for shipping.

Thanks a bunch guys and if you want specific pictures just let me know.

1) Take a thin flat head screw driver and pry the lens off the housing. Look at the bulb when your at Auto Zone.. I forget the bulb number if you search "interior bulbs" in sli you will find the thread that describes the blub types/codes.

2) You can make one if your crafty or just find a Impreza shift boot off ebay and cut it to fit...

3) If the stripping is worn out where the hooks go its pretty much done. I have the same issue on my outback.. Just go to the dealer and order so or go to the junk yard and pull some off a wreck.

4) check the classified section. also good luck those things are not rare but hard to get..

Buy a WRX, Legacy 05+ takeoff shifter and boot. Remove your old junk, take new boot and replace over your shifter and under your shift trim. Screw on shift knob. Enjoy.
