I finally acquired a Jet Black '09 Vibe (what I always wanted -- a second gen vibe) recently after my '03 was totaled a few years ago. Mechanically, it's in great shape and has relatively low mileage (76.5k).
There's a few minor cosmetic and potentially one body repair that need done.
While I have little to no automotive background (other than working on the '03 Vibe) -- I'm fairly confident in my ability to do a few of the repairs -- namely, the apparently quite common volume knob repair, and replacing a broken passenger side door handle.
It appears that the splash guard/shield (at least that's what I think it is?) has come loose from the fender. I remember this being a problem with my '03 Vibe -- but that's because I abused it and treated it like an offroad vehicle on some occasions. Is this an easy repair for a layman or will I want to go to the GM dealership to have this done? [Pictures attached]
Bad Side:
Good Side:
Additionally, there are a few scratches on the exterior of the vehicle that I'd like to touch up. Any recommendations on a product for that? I've also put a few scratches on the interior -- on the back seat's back panels when I put my bike in -- anything that will clean up the scratches to the grey plastic?
Many thanks!
