Today I restored my 2009 Vibe GT headlights for the second time in a few years. I used a Meguiars Heavy Duty Headlight Restoration Kit the last time, the headlights turned out pretty good but yellowed over time. I believe the the headlight coating in the kit failed pretty quickly, clouded up and tur...

Great information Jolt! Those links are excellent! I though about repainting, I've done a few cars before, but the process to prepare, repair, prime and paint is lengthy to get a decent paint job, not sure I want to go that route for a DIY paint job again. It also means a lot of garage preparation a...

Thank you. I'll start calling around and get a few estimates, along with reviewing what steps each will take. I'll post what I find out.

Has anyone done a complete respray of your Vibe? Mine is a 2009 which I've owned since new. The Florida sun has taken a toll on the paint. The clear coat started to fail on the passenger mirror, back bumper, roof now working it's way down the rest of the car. The hood on these cars seem to be a magn...

Thanks for reviewing and recommendations. I'll move forward with trying to knock that original factory washer off on the next oil change.

I've owned my 2009 Pontic Vibe GT (Red Hot Metallic) with the (2.4 liter engine) since it was new. Originally had all oil changes completed at the dealer until the 3yr/36K warranty was over, then started changing my own oil. Since changing the oil I've never seen a washer for the oil pan drain plug ...

I saw another thread where they said the knob was a 5 buck item that can be replaced from a used unit, but I have not taken one apart myself. Yeah I will make sure the dealer keeps this on the books for a while in case it happens again. What a pain going back to the dealer several times for somethin...

Well the Radio Knob issue on the 2009 Vibe struck my GT 2 weeks ago after two years. While enjoying a Sunday afternoon drive I happen to lean over and change the channel with the radio tuner knob and that baby spun like a top. I could not change anything by turning the knob, channels or settings. I ...

Yes, I have run into the same issue! When I bought my car new in August I asked the dealer to install the door edge guards as part of the deal. After a while I notice my back door squeaking, I put some white lithium on the door hinges and the squeak remained. Well, just today after sitting in the su...

Now you got me thinking about purchasing a body side moulding kit. Nice job! I have a 2009 Red Hot Metallic GT Vibe and had the dealer put on black door edge guards as part of the deal and did not think about the body side mouldings until I got the car home. I've always had cars with mouldings and d...
