So the wind noise issue many of us are having - is finally being repaired - per Subaru Cust Srvc:

"Hi Mike,

Thanks for checking in. I've been out of the office all week, so your timing was great. Apparently a fix was just released and a limited quantity of repair kits are just starting to hit dealers. There will be an ample amount of repair kits available later this month. We were notified about this when I was out. I recommend calling the service dept at the dealer so they are aware that you are in need of the fix, just in case the sales department didn't let them know. Hopefully you will get the first wave of repair kits so you don't have to wait. Let me know how it goes. If you need any help I am happy to get involved."


I feel like I should earn a sticker or trophy for breaking the news first:D

Interesting. Kind of curious at to what exactly the fix will be and what is included in the kit. I'm glad that Subaru accepted the fact that there was a problem and came out with a fix for it. I've known a few other manufactures that would say that it was within tolorences. Oh well hopefully the first one to get the repair done will let us know what they did. Also is this fix going to apply to all '15 OB's or just those with varifiable wind noise.
