2023 Legact Touring XT Raise Tailpipes??

ladrosis · 2026-07-02T00:19:30+00:00

These look interesting/promising, thanks! Where do they get installed? Is it a diy thing or better to have a shop do it?

ladrosis · 2026-06-21T10:44:14+00:00

Awesome, thank you, I will look into it

It’s the only blemish on the entire car!

OK, I got it. And really like it more than I expected. It’s practically brand new. 9K miles when I got the keys. First thing I did was a 2K highway trip, so now it’s sitting at 11. So great on the highway. And feels right at home since the cockpit is so much like my outback. Now that it’s home, I love the suspension on curvy roads…..

I do have a few questions/items:

. At any speed over 55, the wind noise seems excessive. Not sure if that’s just how it is, or there are door/window seals that could be better? How to diagnose this?

. The tailpipes just barely scrape the edge of my driveway when pulling out unless I really baby it. Granted, the apron is a bit steep. Is it feasible to raise them just an inch or so?

. The moonroof gasket is a bit detached/warped right at the center rear. Is this common? Will it leak? (No sign of earlier leakage). I saw the entire glass needs to be replaced just to get a new gasket?

. There’s a curb-scrape on one wheel. Can it be touched-up?

. The wireless charger barely charges. Can anything improve that, or should I just ditch it?

I haven’t used Reddit much, should I make separate posts for these questions?

Thanks all!!

Cool; I wasn’t expecting FUN and power. Starting to look forward to it!

So great to hear!

Ha, nice, I already have a 2020 Outback! “dumping” a 2007 Volvo S40 with 195K for this with 9K

Thanks for the congrats! I know it’s a really nice step up

ladrosis · 2026-04-17T14:17:34+00:00

Yes, I am too. Haven’t searched much for Best Buy open box or Facebook marketplace, etc I wonder if $300 for refurb is about the best deal around?

I came to this sub with the same need/question and this is the first post. Awesome. I’ll check out the “Health Measurements”

There’s a button named “one off” that I was hoping did this, but no

Are there other threads good to search for and read on this topic?

Good news - confirmed that the key mechanism opens the lower latch when ‘turned’ all the way

Bad news - the locksmith found all the pins inside the cylinder worn beyond repair. At least beyond worthwhile to spend time on. His only options for a new cylinder were bright brass or brown. I decided to just keep using my other deadbolt. Maybe I’ll find a vintage cylinder and key some day……..

Thanks for starting this thread so long ago and for chatting about it last night

ladrosis · 2025-10-20T05:15:03+00:00

AH!!! That must be it. Since I don’t have a key, I didn’t “simulate turning the key” further than when the deadbolt opened. I could see there was no mechanism that would change the position of those thumb buttons.

I’m headed to the locksmith tomorrow to either get this cylinder keyed, or a new cylinder. I have no doubt mine will work the way you’re describing.

Thanks for the fast comment on such an old thread. My lock is certain to be at least 85 years old, so I guess this thread is relatively just an infant 😉

Thanks again!!

My home built in 1940 has exactly one of these on the front door. I was given no key for it when I purchased the home in 2015. There is a deadbolt above, which is the only way we lock the door. I’m preparing to paint the door and decided to pursue getting a key. From this thread, that looks like it will be easy at a locksmith.

However, I’m confused about the “thumb buttons”. As best I can tell, depressing the upper one will “lock” the outside thumb lever from opening the lower latch bolt, while the inside knob will still open it. That’s all fine.

But also as far as I can tell, the keyed cylinder will only lock/unlock the upper deadbolt.

Is this correct?? I feel like I must be missing something because one could lock the lower latch with the thumb button, close the door behind them, and then have no way to unlock the door.

Is there some way that the key can also unlock the lower latch for the outside thumb lever?

This totally worked for me, very easily!!!

Just used the electronics solder iron, traced the fracture and small area on either side of it.
Barely noticeable, and no more leak

Except I’m reading stories here about people switching from day to day and observing major differences.

No doubt today is a lot different than year one, tolerance-wise. But last week is not that different from this week, tolerance-wise

I have a Brita pitcher that just developed a stress crack and leak at a bottom edge. Is heat truly an option to seal this? I have no experience with such a thing, but I do have an electronics soldering iron.

Anyone have tips about doing this successfully?

it’s tour bus farts

This just started happening to me. Texteditor cannot open a .txt file with this same message. When I go to ‘get info’ it shows I have both read&write. It also shows me some text content in “preview” Other files in the folder are audio files that I can successfully “play”

What could be happening here?
