You may consider getting a larger heat shield of another model and cut it to fit your application. A decent mechanic/muffler/body shop can do this for you. Not only are there a lot of weird bends involved, the mounting tabs look like they will break off when you try to remove the bolts. Also, you n...

Just like you, the Ohio/Michigan winters are nasty with salt/brine all over the roads! I'll look it over when I get a lift opportunity and this may stay like this till spring when we're through with winter weather. The heat shield over the muffler rusted out the holes for the fasteners. I just keep...

The gas tank heat shield is so rusted (Central New York salt) that it has been held on only with cable ties. So much has rusted off of the heat shield on the passenger's side that there is nothing left to attach it with. A quick look online doesn't show that part as available any more. Any suggestio...

Did the cross bars sell? If not, how much would you like with shipping to 13057?
Thanks!

Turn key to run position (don't start the engine). Press throttle all the way to floor and hold for 5 se...

Any chance of a part number? I looked on some websites and there were a half a dozen numbers for each door. No one could explain the difference. They kept asking for my VIN and they would get me the right one. Couldn't get it through their heads that I didn't have a Toyota.

I need to replace the driver's door check on my '05 Vibe. I see that Toyota sells theirs for $50-60 instead of the $120ish that GM gets. Does anyone know if the Toyota part is compatible? Any cheaper source for the GM version?Thanks!
