I just got off the phone from the local pontiac dealers parts dept. They don't even show a bulb for the shifter. Can anyone shed any light on the subject. Pun intended:)

P POPPR

Anyone have to replace this yet? The light for the automatic trans shift lever is burnt out. Does the entire center dash have to to come out to get at the bulb? http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=5940

I can't compare to the others as to the functionality, but I'd bet they are all about the same. The main feature is the ease of washing and waxing the hood.

Wanna see a TEN thousand dollar bill?

P POPPR

I went with the VENTSHADE part# 2037. It does not and will not come in contact with the painrt. No rubber bumpers are needed to avoid paint contact and you can easily wash and wax the entire hood. I've had bug deflectors in the past that trap debris and make washing and waxing difficult.

Thanks Mrizzle. I bugged the body shop today and they are Potenza RE92A 215/50/R17. A 72 year old gal ran into my daughter and in addition to the front end damage took out a tire. They only pay for the 1 tire but I'm replacing all 4. I'm leaning toward the Potenza G 009 or the Yokohama AVID V4S. Any...

I need some info. The Vibe is at the body shop so I can't go have a look. The car came with the Bridgestone 17" tires. Which Bridgestones are they. I'm looking at Tirerack and they hav several models in the 215/50's. Thanks

P POPPR

Thanks!

I thought some of you guys that have taken the dash apart would know what this is. Not the dime The plastic nut next to the dime. It has grooves cut in the top for a standard or phillips head. It was on the front floor on the passenger side.

P POPPR

I think they suspected the shock mount the first time we took it to them. They "lubricated" the area and it didn't change the sound.

P POPPR

Ours does it without the emergency brake applied. We will try using the brake in our garage. Might have the opposite effect on ours.

P POPPR

Still got the squeak. Maybe the third time is the charm.

P POPPR

As an update, I had the car at the dealer today for the squeak. I''ll post again with a report if this fixes the problem, but here's what they did."Exhaust squeaking at pivot points. Removed exhaust-lubed front donut-disassembled rear flex joint and lubed all hanger points"

P POPPR

30 minutes

P POPPR

Do you know what causes the squeak?

P POPPR

We have a squeak that we hear when the driver gets out of the car on a flat surface. Sounds like it's coming from the rear suspension. Kind of a rubber squeak. We had it at the dealer and naturally it didn't squeak.

I'm not used to front wheel drive so this could be normal. The steering has about a 1/2 second lag. When driving straight on the highway it is most noticeable. When making the minor corrections to keep the car in its lane, the wheels do not immediately respond to the movement of the steering wheel. ...

I bought the vibe 8-4-03 and received touch up paint 10-30-03 in the mail from GM. Do they send free touch up paint to everyone or is this my dealer?

Pulp Fiction would be a bit much. We're somewhat old fashioned in some respects The previews on TV look like it's a charlies Angels violence type movie. Looks like it will be my wife and I on this one.

P POPPR

We are planning on going. I've heard it is extremely violent. Is this too out there for us to take a 14yr old?

Thanks for the help. I turned the blocker off and it was an IM that kept trying to display every time I went to a new page. Now that I've viewd the IM screen it works like it always did. I'm not much of an IM or chat room kinda guy.

P POPPR

I use the google toolbar with the popup blocker and I can't view a page without the blocker chalking up another blocked popup. It works great in that you don't get the popup but it clicks every time it blocks one. I guess I'll have to disable the sound.

I'm looking into a home humidifier that attaches to the ductwork in my house. Someone mentioned that these devices leave water spots on things in the house. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Clay bars are great! I've been using Meguiars products for years but had very bad luck with the Meguiars clay bar. Mothers clay bars have worked well.

Hope this helps. There is a washer between the nut and the wheel that is free floating but doesn't come off. 21mm nut head

If you don't get your photo before the weekend I'll remove one and take some pics for you. I have to get my wife to park the car for few minutes. The only other option is to chase her down the street with a wrench in my hand.
