Mysterious rods in my Forester
We took delivery of our new Forester and we found these in a cupboard after the PDI. Can anyone tell what they are and where they go?

Forums software will automatically reduce the size, but smaller size photos will upload much faster. You may select several photos to upload at the same time by repeating the last step.
- Click "Upload" After pics have loaded close the pop-up window
- Click "submit reply" to mount the text of your message - photos will automatically appear at the bottom of your post.
How to embed an image stored on another site:
You can do this by using image tags. Upload the image to a service like imageshack and then copy the URL of the image and put that between [IMG] tags. That will work well, as long as the host site stays in business and doesn't disable your image for overuse of bandwidth etc.
You can also paste in the location of a photo stored here in a photo gallery.
To do this: Paste the url of the image into your post. Then add the following code on either side of the url (with no extra spaces):
[IMG]url here[/IMG]
The image will appear where the url was in your text. |
Another way to add a photo you have stored, is when replying or posting, to click the paperclip icon at the top of the text box....then the manage attachments box will open that allows you to add the pic.

We found them also in our Forester...we checked with our service department at dealer...they did not know either.

They are slide locks. They lay on top of the slide during transport to keep the slides from going out. I don't dare use them because I'd forget and try to open the slide.....

No they are not tension rods, they do not adjust in length. They fit between the wall and the slide out when the slide out is all the way in.

So is it safe to say that since none of you have ever used them it is not necessary? Because I sure as heck would forget them too. I thought I could tie a big long red ribbon on them but I would prefer not to if they are not necessary.
Thanks everyone.

Thanks again.
