Does this fit the 2020+ Forester, Outback, or Legacy?
The 90914-0063 is cataloged through 2019 for these models. The 2020 Subaru model range (EJ platform replacements) introduced updated cowl panel designs. For 2020 and newer Subaru vehicles, cross-reference your OEM part number. If you have a 2020+ model and need a cowl vent cap, check our SMS 21531 listing (Subaru 91486-KJ010).
What tools do I need to install these?
A standard flat-blade (slotted) screwdriver. The open-end screw design allows you to insert the clip and then turn it to lock the legs into the panel hole. This gives a more secure and more adjustable fit than a simple push-type clip. Removal is the reverse — turn counter-clockwise and pull out.
Does this fit the WRX and STI?
Yes — the 2015–2019 Subaru WRX and WRX STI use the same cowl vent panel and 90914-0063 retainer as the Legacy and Outback of the same era. The shared Subaru global platform uses consistent cowl attachment geometry across these sport and performance models.
How many retainers does one Subaru need?
Subaru cowl grille panels on these models typically use 8–12 of these retainers. We sell in packs of 10, 20, 40, and 60 pieces — volume pricing applied automatically.
When should I replace these?
Replace them any time the cowl panel is removed. On Subarus 10+ years old, nylon retainers may be brittle enough to crack during removal. Replace the full set during windshield or cowl service to ensure a leak-free, rattle-free fit.
