Subaru Outback Interior Hatch Panel Removal (2005-2009)

[@bgrt40]

Just what i needed in 2024 to install a backup camera on my 2009 outback! Wonderfully done, especially done single handedly!

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Haha, thanks! Glad the video is still helpful!

[@thurimenmitphen8973]

This video is absurdly informative. I wish all Subaru videos were as clear and informative. Thanks!

[@MeowMeowMeow7576]

Awesome video! Just what I needed to repair the wiring at the hinge joint. Thank you!

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Glad I could help!

[@siscokid2870]

This was a great video. You explained very well and showed all of the steps without skipping the important parts. I wish everyone on KZbin made videos this way. Thank you.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Thanks haha. It's very hard to please everyone. Most people complain that I talk too much and tell me to just get on with it, but I try to convey the necessary points.

Tony The Truck Guy Thanks for the reply. I just subscribed.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Much appreciated, thank you for your time!

I'm looking to install a back-up camera in my 07, this is EXACTLY what I needed...Thanks for taking the time to make this.

[@rarnette73]

That’s the antenna signal module

[@jimrhodes3487]

Thanks for the video! Have to replace the latch on my daughters' '06.. Now, where are my torx sockets.........?

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

😂😂

[@Portlandrefugee]

Exactly what I was looking for. Great walk through. Much appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to show this.

[@ericp4370-Google]

Beautiful! Thsnk you for explaining things as you progressed and showed clip locations in the video. I have found other videos that just say to pull on the panels to remove them... right!

[@DacAL_8]

Hi Tony, is there a way to make a video for 2020+ Outback “ Inside Cabin -Rear Quarter panel ? “ Thank you in advance!

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

If I happen to get the opportunity to get my hands on one then I will for sure. I don’t currently know anybody with one though and I don’t personally own one.

[@DacAL_8]

@@TonyTheTruckGuy I think I finally fixed my rattle on one of the panels by removing 3 hooks ( and inserting some foam in between) Really appreciate the response, man!

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

@@DacAL_8 No problem! Sorry I couldn’t have been of more help lol. Glad you pinpointed that pesky noise, though!

[@DacAL_8]

@@TonyTheTruckGuy No worries! Thank you for making all these video contents. Really help us a lot! 🤘🏼

[@mariafenton7381]

Do you know how to remove the exterior with the reverse lights?

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

You mean just how to replace the reverse lights? I have a video on that here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2rWlYB_bciBpZI

[@kevincrooks639]

Glad to find this my tailgate latch is loose. Looks like it's not nearly as painful a fix as I was anticipating.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

That’s always a good thing 😅

[@shrimpu]

Thanks for the detailed video! Hoping this is similar/same for a 2006 Forester. My rear washer nozzle is missing and i hear something rattling which I believe is the leftover hosing which is inside the hatch trim/paneling... Hope if I do all this I will probably be able to get access to all that and reconnect the new nozzle I already bought....Any tips would be much appreciated.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Unfortunately I don’t really have any experience working on foresters, but I’m guessing it’s a similar setup as this. Just go gentle and take your time. Once it’s apart, the sprayer issue or rattle should be pretty easy to identify.

[@shrimpu]

@@TonyTheTruckGuy Hey - thanks for the reply. Turns out I didn't have to remove hatch trim at all. I was able to reach the remainder of tubing by taking off the 3rd / top mount brake light housing and reach through there and attach the new nozzle. IT WORKS !!! :) I haven't yet tested the "sliding around rattle". If it still exists, I will take apart the hatch trim. From initial looks, it looks exactly the same as the Outback :)

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

@@shrimpu Haha well good, gotta love when it’s not as complicated as it seems!

[@LS1LE]

Thank you! Great video, it was a tremendous help watching the disassembly of the trim panels before starting. 👍

[@guyjonson6364]

Not a user friendly panel. Should have an opening

[@cynthiachase2943]

Thanks for the video. After I put my door back together my clock, radio interior lights and key fob quit working. I have checked all fuses and had a mechanic check also. We are stumped, any ideas of what has happened? Thanks

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

No, that’s very strange. Only thing I can think of is if you pinched a wire somehow in the hatch when putting stuff together and maybe shorted out some wires and blew a fuse. Other than that I’m not sure. It could be one of those freak deals where it has nothing to do with what you did, but just happened to act up around the same time.

[@MikeSwirled]

Did you figure it out?

[@jnikadie]

The silver box with "Clarion" on it is a radio antenna booster.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

You mean the black box at 10:04?

[@jammininny6604]

Thank you so much! Was able to fix my trunk thanks to your video!

[@joshuaclouston2996]

Thanks mate, great heads up before having to do a repair

[@chrissalinas5657]

is there a way to replace the glass in the hatch door or Do you have to replace the hole door?

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Glass is for sure replaceable, I had to have mine done when a lawnmower sent a rock through mine. But I didn’t do it myself, had insurance send out a glass company.

[@chrissalinas5657]

@@TonyTheTruckGuy what would the cost be without insurance

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

@@chrissalinas5657 No clue since my insurance covered mine. I’m sure it varies depending on your location. If you don’t have glass coverage on your insurance, I’d call around to a few auto glass places and see if they can quote you.

Thank you, very helpful!

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Glad I could help!

[@bunsenb]

my hatch release has stopped working trying to get it open from the inside but haven't figured it out yet if anyone has any advice here would appreciate it

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

You’ll likely have to do all of the steps that I have shown but from the inside of the vehicle unfortunately. That should grant you access to manually open the latch.

[@ozdaawg]

Same, on my Impreza there is a removable hatch on the inside, a few square inches in area, on the panel that can be popped out. Then you can manually open the hatch by pushing a lever on the mechanism. Once open, remove the panel as Tony has and proceed to remove the parts needed to replace the switch or what have you. Hope this helps someone.

Thank you!

[@mattblack9069]

On nearly all of these instruction videos I have watched the up loader holds his camera or smart phone in one hand and tries to do the job one handed which is obviously awkward so why for gods sake use a method of holding the camera or phone on/in a holder, you can buy them you know then your video is much better huh??

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Well 2 things. I don’t work in Hollywood, and holding the camera doesn’t help with following along to get the proper angles.

[@Portlandrefugee]

Thank you for posting this! Exactly what I wanted to know.
