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

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
