I fitted them to mine.
they both stock on and have 4 little steel brackets that tuck/ screw in behind the door rubbers
took me 20 mins total including cleaning the surfaces.

No pics of the brackets
it's all detailed in the install instructions

I sleep in my car a lot,
they allow me to have the windows down about an inch without normal drizzly rain coming in and getting the doors wet

Handy !
Cosmetically I think they look rather mean !

Same. Excellent for when I'm at the snow and sleeping in the car. Opening the windows avoids the condensation build up during the night.

Looked at these but I think the fit will be rubbish and its only held by 3m as opposed to factory Subaru clips/screws and tape and would be a perfect Fitment

For $100 it might be worth trying..

I've got them and they are fine. Fitment is 99%
