Removal of Front Wing and Antenna

Model: Subaru Forester SF, MK 1 - Years 1997-2002
Part: Body

Removing the front wing is quite straightforward: it involves unscrewing the fastening bolts around the perimeter. However, before proceeding with the wing removal, you must remove the front indicator light and the plastic splash guard located under the rear edge of the wing. Next, remove the wheel arch liner to access the antenna after also removing the ring on the edge of the wing. You can then proceed to remove the fastening bolts, including those inside the door cut, to complete the wing removal.
