Re: Parting out 03 GT

Was wondering if the drivers side window control bezel is still good with all its clips to lock in properly. If so how much to ship just the bezel not the switches to 93535? Thanks for your time. The one I have appears to be hot glued to the door panel, I'll assume the tabs are broke. Can get the p...

not sure exactly what you mean, picture? No worries it's a bit confusing. Looking for the plastic insert for the interior handle opening on the rear hatch. I've tried posting a picture buts it's too large. The interior handle you use to grab and close the hatch down. I'll try and resize the pic ton...

Looking for a couple of items

Hi folks. I have an 08 Vibe and I'm looking for two items that I can't seem to find online, the cigarette lighter plug in and the rubber insert for the interior back hatch handle. Does anyone know of a place online that might sell these two items? Thanks in advance.

Front left door actuator is out- 08 Vibe

Hey guys. My drivers side door actuator has kicked the bucket. Does anyone know if the 08 Corolla or 08 Matrix actuator will fit the Vibe? I can't find a replacement actuator for the Vibe, but I can locate them for the Matrix and Corolla.

Thanks for your help!

Hey guys. My left rear power door lock actuator is out and I've been trying to find the part with no success. The dealer wanted over three hundred for it, which is a non starter for me.

Hey folks, Every time I crank the wheel sharply to the left, I get a popping noise coming from my front end. It's now starting to do it as I turn right as well.

Re: The Next Vibe Recall - steering system

Anyone have any thoughts in regards to the rattling/vibration noise? It comes from the front passenger area, usually when I hit 2500 rpms or 65mph. I'm beginning to think it might be the airbag? It's been making the noise for about a year now. I have a couple thousand miles left on my warranty, so I...

Would this cause a rattling noise coming from the passenger side dash area? That's what I've been dealing with for over a year now.

Re: Strut question

My question is can a strut collapse and then later be "dropped down," and test to be ok? That's what the tech put on my invoice. Front strut collapse while testing the front end. Had to rack to drop struts. Tested front suspension again. OK. The guy in the front was the one who added the r...

Re: Strut question

By the way, the popping noise has stopped since they did whatever they did. The car also rides fine. This is the first time I've ever heard of a strut collapse, yet they were able to get them to "drop." So I'm not sure if I should replace them out again, like they recommend, or if the deal...

Re: Strut question

Here's an update. I started to get a popping noise from my front end last week, whenever I make a sharp turn. I took the car in today and they told me that the front struts have collapsed. I just put them on in February! Unbelievable. They had to put the car up on the rack to get the struts to drop....

Re: Irritating --Rattling sound near dashboard (front passen

Hey guys. Was this ever resolved? I have a 2008 Vibe that has a rattling noise coming from the glove box area when i accelerate. The noise stays once I hit 50mph. It's incredibly annoying. I've tightened the screw in the actual glove box itself to no avail. What can this noise be?

Hey Matt. Thanks so much for the response, it was very informative. One other quick question. Do I need to get a mount that is specific to the strut I am purchasing or will any mount work? I've noticed that the Monroe mounts are more expensive than some of the other brands. Thanks!
