yup dubble din will fit did a 2008 and 2009 this week no prob dvd navi the hole works head rest moninters and one in the back hatch

jayman2009

Grind off the rust put a rust stoper and a little white putty prime and repaint. I work at a autobody shop and replaceing the roof for $2500 is cheap. As to replace it you have to drop the headliner wich means seats out side panle's etc so would be more like $5+ as used roof and new roof price is $7...

jayman2009

why would you go Vacuum? Why not go with a microswitch that can be hooked onto the lead of the compressor power wire wich energises it.Would be a lot faster to do it this way

jayman2009

I would go aftermarket door locks. as thats what i had done on my moms vibe with a car alarm. mine has power all. hers does not. Ive also had a fue cars come into my work with aftermarket power windows so i have been thinking about putting them in my moms for her windows. Here is a link to the ones ...

jayman2009

run the power on the driver side and rca's on passenger side. that way you will not get a hum that some do when ran side by side

jayman2009

Ill take it for my 2003 if ya still have it

jayman2009

i payed $160 installed . Mind ya my buddy does them for a liveing

jayman2009

I have ran into this probs on a fue cars its the pads. if the materal is to hard it will make noise on some cars. my old neon and cav where bad for that. used a el chepo brand went away but had to change them more often due to softer compound.

jayman2009

its a transponder bypass kit you need for the car. some need it some dont.

jayman2009

Some wireing adapters come with a 2-3 foot red wire that you need to use and tap into a fuse in the fuse panle. For some cars you need to for some you dont.

jayman2009

mf3rr0 What the probs is is some harnese's do not give the right power it needs. Ive done hundereds of installes on diff cars. Some come with anouther red wire and a fuse adapter to piggy back off in the fuse box. Ive ran into the prob on a fue cars. My ex's 2003 cav dident need it.but her moms 2004...

jayman2009

alignment of what doors? lights? hood? wheels?

jayman2009

You dont need the one that runs a wire to the battery its unneeded In less you have a bigger trailer with lots of lights. I havent installed one with the power wire yet and havent had a prob on the 50 i have wired when i was at uhaul. But if its a camper you are towing you may need it as they have a...

jayman2009

I got some snow tires put on my car. well all season ones. My moms driveing my car tell i get her new one done and she dident feal safe with the tires on it.

jayman2009

Might be a fuseable link on the starter also

jayman2009

Im thinking mabey front motor mount. had that on my buddys vibe with 50,000k on it

jayman2009

try disconecting the battery for a fue days see if it loses a charge. had a van at work like that after 2 days battery would go dead. tested fine tho. disconected it and 2 days later was dead. ended up being awonkey cell

jayman2009

If i reamber right it should be a plastic tank. You should beble to drop it down and pop it out with a crowbar

jayman2009

As of yesterday i am paying 0.98 a Liter Canadian for reg gas

jayman2009

that sucks. and yes some of uhaul wireing jobs are hack jobs. I use to work there on weekends with a buddy of mine re wireing ones that dident work for about 2 months had to re wire about 150 of them. One thing you could also do for the power going to it is run a relay for the main power to only tur...

jayman2009

hmm ive never seen one that needed 12 volts all the time. mind ya i wallways use the uhaul 5-4 converters. never had a prob with the,. the one in my vibe now ive had for 10 years

jayman2009

Check the rad fluid and change the thermastat. at work ive had to do 5 this week. people saying i have no heat in my car. all have been like 2-3 leters low on fluid

jayman2009

03-07 should work

jayman2009

yup its due to a high draw for window motors. even my old 2000 chev did it

jayman2009

Working at a bodyshop for a liveing i deal with this every fue days. Just disconect the battery wait like 3-5 min then you will be fine. Ive disconected a battery pulled a sead like 1 min after and put a new one in and light was on ended up causing a code. just with a fue min and it will be fine

jayman2009

ive had polk speakers in the past and they where good. i find there newer gear just plane sucks. you just dont get the nice sound you use to.

jayman2009

just wondering where did you get your 185 amp alt from? max i have found has been 145 for a 2003. for a 2009 i can find above that

jayman2009

I work for an autobody shop and i just changed a 2005 vibe one with one from a 2005 matrix and it worked so 99% chance it will work

jayman2009

I say start with the hu and go from there. I started with a jvc dvd deck then to a clarion one with 2 bassworks subs in the back on a mxt 6100 amp befor i did my front and real speakers. i was suprised how well the stock speakers still sounded with a aftermarket hu

jayman2009

IT can be welded up if you take it off. I see that all the time at work and my buddys shop. Its a weak spot in all systems.

jayman2009

whitfiel Im have the same prob as you ive tryed the evac and held vacume for 6 hours no prob filled it up. 3 weeks later a bit low and not cooling that well. Ive tryed thoes canadian tire refills on a fue cars work in a pinch. I am going to get my hvac guy at work to go thru my system now tho.

jayman2009

Most likly rim or tie rod end. see it every day at my work

jayman2009

ill try to take a look at mine tommrow as i have almost the same alarm in mine

jayman2009

Wish i took pics when i did a little bigger then 0/1 in my 2003 vibe. the wire is like a a bit bigger then a inch. i had to drill a hole in my firewall to run it to my amp and back battery as im running dual bats most times. Ran along the drive side under the plastic panles where the carpet is fine....

jayman2009

Some come with anouther wire and clip to hook into the fuse block. Some cars need it some dont i had one come in the kit for mine but dident need it

jayman2009

i have my sub box curently help by a ratchet strap been to buzy to mount it

jayman2009

Wish i had pics of when i did this i moves a 454 big block for a buddy in the back of mine.

jayman2009

shipping to canada will be cheap i live in canada and get things shiped up all the time. i think i might get 2 instead of one so i can put one on my tool box

jayman2009

im intrested also

jayman2009

looks sweet. i might do that to mine soon. if you are running the 0 to the back of the vibe it will just fit on the driver side under all the trim. Got 0 running to my amp and just fit. passenger side would eazly fit but uses a fue more feet of wire but it will work

jayman2009

One way to get some of them is pop the inner panle off then you can get some nedel nose plyers in there to plress down on the clips

jayman2009

Yep most times the clips do brake as you ant get to them all even with the door panel off. and they are not cheap if i reamber right like $3-4 a clip depending where ya are

jayman2009

yep stoping the rattling is a pita got the back floor to stop now the tailage and the roof rack is. depending on the size of the amp going off a bolt for the seat with the paint sanded away will ground beter

jayman2009

np if ya like i can take a fue pics this weekend of how it looks with the deck im using in it

jayman2009

I work at a autobody shop and we see stuff like that a lot its from the oils in it after a while it comes to the serfice. major prob on aftermarket bumpers. Mazda has now but a note in with there oem bumpers that it is raw plastic and to sand it with some harsh grit paper then to prime it befor pain...

jayman2009

jayman2009
