Perrin are poo!!
time for a moan. got my wing stiffi's this morning and could not wait to fit them. after spending hours on them ive given up and taken them all off. they were rubbish. the quality of them is very poor and the fit is even worse. they had a gap at the top of about 5mm and they didnt reach the bottom part of the spoiler. absolute crap. pardon my french.
maybe these were seconds, i dont know, but all i will say is - buyer beware.
to say i feel robbed, upset,angry is an understatement. they were damn expensive. i now have all 5 in the bin.
well, thats it, moan over.
time for summit to eat.

its a vertical fin, stabilizer, that goes between top and bottom of the 04' sti rear wing. looks cool ( to some poeple ), and stops the wing flexing , check out the link..

They look easy to install to me. Have you phoned the guys at TSL that sell Perrin parts?

Do to slight variance in wings, if a large gap between wing and Wing Stiffy is found please call tech support. There may not be a solution
to this problem.
That says to me try them in place before you drill, remove the tape etc etc, otherwise your chuffed.
So if you buy them and they will not fit your wing you should be able to return them.

Good chance there have been subtle changes at different MY's especially as Perrin are US based and theres ofetn change things an MY early than us, for example new Forester is an 08 in the US and an 09 over here.

how have you fitted yours like that? the spacing of the holes in the top part of the wing make that impossible to fit like that. have you just used double sided tape top and bottom?

they look about rite to me,think you could do with having a look at someone elses spoiler just to check there is no difference with yours as it sounds like you may have a slightly different spoiler on.

Also there should be a piece on the underside of the top of your spoiler that screws in. Remove that and screw through that into the fin. I stuck the bottom of mine with master bond. Its the stuff they use to fit new windscreens. Put a ratchet strap or two around the spoiler for 20 minutes. Job done. Hope this helps somebody. 😁
