I just sent your photos to my Service Manager he will be in touch with Subaru Canada today about this issue.
They will probably take a car on the lot to check everything. I will let you know. Anyone contacted SOA ? |

Great, so when I get my BRZ I can't even let myself drive it until I tear the f#%ker apart and seal all these, and opti-coat the exterior and do clear bra. Anyone making replacement carpet that's more plush than the $#!tty stock carpet? Might as well do that while it's all apart... At least I have no plans to drive mine in the snow...

I dont think sealing that hole might be a good idea. It will make a nice place for water to settle in from condensation (if you live in a cold climate area). The doors have drain holes and are exposed to the outside elements.
I would personally shoot rust protectant in there and call it a day.

If this turns out to be a real problem, we might have to take it to Autoblog/Jalopnik/TTAC to generate a little pressure for a fix....

I lived in New York and New England for a few decades. Don't know if that counts. I'm just wondering what era of Japanese car it is that you keep referring to. There were Japanese cars that I recall on the streets of the U.S. as early (in my memory) as the early '60s. Are these the infamous "rust buckets" of Nippon? And which of these terrifying marvels of oxidation have you owned personally? Again, just wondering. |

Okay I see what you are pointing at. There is no light inspection that anyone would see a gap like that. The water test wouldn't show it as the location would not likely be a focus area. Again it's hard to see a quick easy fix is a heat gun and marine grade sealant Canadian Tire. That's all they will do if you take it in for service. If the other hole is a drain hole I wouldn't be worried about the gap.
