Subaru Forester Car Covers

Give your rugged Subaru Forester a little tender loving care with the assistance of a Forester car cover. Built for durability, car covers for your Subaru mini-SUV come in handy in a variety of scenarios. Whether you need a cover for personal, commercial, or other uses, you will discover models that fit your vehicle and suit your lifestyle.

What car covers fabrics are available?

You can use car covers for a variety of reasons. To get more out of a given protector, you should think about the future needs of your vehicle. For example, you should know, at a minimum, whether your vehicle requires indoor or outdoor car protectors.

Outdoor car cover fabrics can include the following:

  • Weathershield - Making this fabric involves surrounding strong polyester fabrics with a thin, air-permeable polymer. This process results in a fabric that protects from the inside out against dust, water, dirt, and other contaminants. Weathershield also protects the surface of your Forester from the negative effects of UV-light, which can progressively dull your paint job. Plus, this material includes built-in UV-light inhibitors that promote fabric durability.
  • Noah - This innovative car cover fabric includes polypropylene and polyethylene outer layers surrounding a nylon/polyethylene inner layer. Between both lies a middle layer with a micro-porous material that stops water molecules yet allows steam and water-vapor to escape. This combination helps keep the surface of your Forester cleaner and dryer, which can maintain its good looks for the long haul.

Indoor car cover fabrics can include the following:

  • Form fit - This protector fabric includes Lycra/Spandex and polyester surface materials in its design. Inside, moisture-absorbing cotton terry loop fabrics act to take care of any additional moisture.
  • Tan flannel - Made from a strong cotton-poly blend, Tan Flannel repels moisture while allowing water vapors to escape. Relatively thick, this material fights dampness as well as dents.
How should you store your protector?

If you store your cover properly, you should get plenty of use out of it. How you store and clean a specific model depends on the fabrics and materials that it is made out of. Some rules of thumb for car-protector care include regularly clearing debris from it and consulting the manufacturers instructions before laundering/deep-cleaning it.

Which methods can you use for installing your car cover?

Manufacturers make the covers for your Subaru Forester to specific measurements. Unless you have unusual additions to your vehicle, Forester protectors should comfortably fit. Most offerings include user-friendly fastenings like Velcro or elastic strapping.

How can you take measurements for your cover?

Before you choose to go with a generic cover, you may need to measure your car to ensure you purchase something that fits. To find the length, run a tape-measure blade from bumper to bumper alongside the doors. To find the height, run the tape from ground level to the roof. To find the width, measure the car from side to side across the widest point.

Subaru Forester Interior Door Panels and Parts

The doors of your Subaru Forester contain some very important parts. The windows and their operating mechanisms, locks, and even the system that opens and closes the door are contained between the frame and the panel. If any of those pieces wears out or breaks, you can easily find the parts you need to repair it.

How does the door open and close?

When you pull on the door handle, a cable pulls a cam out of the frame, unlatching the door and allowing it to swing open. When the handle is released, the cam pops back into place, latching the door securely. When the door locks, which are also housed inside the door, are engaged, a piece clamps down on the cam, keeping it from moving when the handle is pulled. If your Forester has an alarm system, there is a sensor in the door handle which will signal to the alarm system that someone is attempting to enter the vehicle and set it off.

How do the windows operate in the door?

The window system is comprised of the glass, a motor, and a rocker switch. When you press the rocker switch up or down, it signals to the motor to raise or lower the glass.

What is the panel and how is it removed?

The panel is a piece of molded plastic that fits over the interior of the door and covers up all of the motors and wiring enclosed in it. It also has special slots cut out of it to hold various pieces, such as switches, speakers, and handles. It is attached to the door via a series of plastic or metal clips. It is likely that while removing the panel you could break or bend at least some of these clips, so it is always a good idea to have an extra set on hand when removing it.

Does the panel need to be removed to replace speakers?

You will not have to remove the panel if you want to replace your Foresters front speakers or tweeters, which are small speakers that only play the treble from your audio unit. Speakers have a flange that fits over the speaker itself and covers the mounting hardware used to keep the speakers in place. These flanges have tabs that fit into slots in the panel and turn to keep them in place. Once removed, the speakers can then be removed by taking out the screws holding them in place.
