Seeing a Pontiac vibe being used as a stock photo in 2021 very similar to the one that I totaled a few years ago but still miss everyday gave me a sweet feeling of nostalgia and it might give you one as well.

Just wanted to share that

Thats exactly what happened. Spun out on an on ramp and smashed into a street light post. Thanks to advice on this boars I was able to accomplish the following things that I otherwise wouldnt be able to do. For that I'm eternally grateful. 1. Swap out front speakers 2. Engage AC compressor when all ...

Yeah I do love orange crush awesome car paid only $5K CDN for it , didn't negotiate with the sellers one bit , was just so stoked to get a low mileage one-owner Vibe , despite the rust Paid $1,500 for the teardrop What can I say I have a knack for getting lucky with craigslist deals For my next car ...

Hope2BuyVibeTomorrow

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'm going to attach a tarp from one vehicle's roof rack to the other one's for the next trip to see if it changes anything. As a longer term goal , I would like to find a car that is equally fuel efficient to the vibe (or better) that does a better job towing and drivin...

I'll dig this up one more time to say I was successful in reviving my air conditioner for $50 Canadian and 1 hour of labor When your AC compressor isn't engaging Check the fuse under the steering wheel Check the relay switch under the hood in the instrument panel (i think it's what it's called) Get ...

Hiya folks I bought a teardrop travel trailer a few months ago http://i.imgur.com/3fs86HR.png It is Awesome! Kitchen, sleep space, storage, water reservoir, .... it's total glamping!

That looks better

Sorry to revive an old thread I just wanted to jump in and say THANK YOU to @joatmon for the picture . I was able to start up my compressor for a split second this way to ascertain that it's not dead, probably just all the refrigerant leaked out over 13 years, which is understandable. Getting some m...

I am facing this exact issue right now , damn east coast cars mnever stop rusting ... the shop wants $250 CAD to fix it , parts and labor They said to weld a piece of pipe will put too much pressure on the front due to lack of flexibility , and eventually it will crack again .... I don't know how to...

Hope2BuyVibeTomorrow

$25 bucks at the local shop to clamp it back on . bam bam done.

Hope2BuyVibeTomorrow

it's an east coast car with 115,000km , by the way

Hope2BuyVibeTomorrow

that makes sense thanks for that . i didn't think about the water drainage explanation.

Hope2BuyVibeTomorrow

Thanks for that. I tried to figure it out but couldn't. Will just pay someone to fix it for me I guess

Toning down the bass on the head unit does help a lot , as well as using the balance and fade functions to move more of the work away from the driver . Listening to Joscho Stephan's new album on the new speakers has been an absolute treat.

Hope2BuyVibeTomorrow

6.5 inch How crucial is it to connect the plus wire to the plus wire , and the minus wire to the minus wire ? I am getting a bit more bass vibration that I would have liked .... I only found this guide when I went to install the 2nd speaker : "2004 Pontiac Vibe Car Audio Wiring Guide Car Radio ...

Hope2BuyVibeTomorrow

what I discovered is that you don't even have to remove the brackets from the car just pull the old speaker surrounding cloth-like God's away from the bracket with a strong pair of pliers then you side cutters to cut out all of the supporting brackets removing as much of them as possible and then yo...

Update with pictures: new kenwoods have been installed , with the biggest nuisance being removing and reinstalling the plastic door panel the actual speaker installation and removal was just a lot of hacking away with side cutters screwing in screws in makeshift holes and just figuring out how its a...

I upgraded my stereo in peices. This is what I did and this would be my recommendation. My tastes doesnt include 12" subs for earth shattering bass etc, etc. I dont listen to music very loud either....actually i cant anyway. I just wanted a quality sounding system. Upgraded speakers to Polk DB...

Congrats !!

Spring is in the air (Let's conveniently pretend it didn't snow in Toronto yesterday). I've got a couple hundred bux burning a hole in my pocket, so off to Amazon.com I go to upgrade my awesome 100% STOCK , unspoiled , unadulterated 2004 Vibe. Right now the most pressing issues for me are audio con...

Hey guys, Just wanted to share a quick tip hot off the press: To all owners of discontinued Pontiac Vibe, you get $1,500 off a new GM vehicle purchase or lease. When I told the dealer last night that I own a Vibe he was shocked and the price on the Terrain immediately got better :D That being said, ...

As promised I shot a clip of my driver door wobbly bezel for your viewing and diagnostic pleasure. I'll definitely wait with the tinting, and will hold onto what little sunshine we get this winter!
Eh?

Welcome! Sounds like you got a good deal there. I can't say that I've ever seen a two tone Fusion before; every one I recall seeing has been monotone. But even under all that white stuff, whatever that is, I can still see that it looks pretty good! :D As for a cargo net, I found one at a salvage ya...

Just bought an 04' Vibe (<3ing it so far) and will be trying this fix this week, thank you in advance for the brilliance and ingenuity!

Hope2BuyVibeTomorrow

Now that I think about it, I also wouldn't mind adding a privacy tint to all the windows, especially the rear passenger ones. Are those pre-cut kits any good?
