Subaru Tribeca Door Lock Knob

If the door lock knob on your Subaru Tribeca has let go, you're in good company — it's one of the plastics on these that simply doesn't age well. We've made this style of part before and can usually print yours without drama.

Why these break

Lock knob splits at the rod socket. The original was moulded thin to save cents at production volume. That was fine when the plastic was fresh — twenty years on, there's no margin left in it.

How we reproduce them

Reproducing one is straightforward for us: we measure your sample (broken is fine, as long as most of it is there), match the profile, and print in a tougher modern material. Turnaround is usually within the week.

We print these in ABS. ABS matches the look and feel of the factory plastic, takes a sanded or textured finish well, and handles cabin temperatures without complaint.

As with everything in our library: whether a part can be reproduced depends on size, load, heat, material, and having a decent sample to work from. Send photos first — the assessment costs you nothing, and we'll tell you honestly if a genuine spare is the better option.
