stanchfi - 06 Base Vibe

[stanchfi]

Just picked up a 06 Vibe 5 speed manual from a friend of mine (61k miles).

I've got a couple questions. My friend had issues with his garage so I need to replace the passenger mirror, and the trim above the rear tire.
Can somebody tell me what time trim piece is called or the part number?

My other question is I read about the 03-04 manual transmission bearing issues, but I couldn't find out if this was fixed on the 06 models, or if I should look out for this issue in the near future. Anybody with a 06 had their 5 speed manual transmission die?

Thanks for all the great info on the forum.

Welcome! Nice looking Vibe! I haven't seen where anyone with the newer Vibes has had manual transmission problems. I think they finally got it fixed after the 03-04 or 05 models. As for the part, it is a fender flare. You could probably find a used one by finding a wrecked Vibe on http://www.car-part.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; or a discounted new one from one of the online GM parts places like http://www.gmpartscenter.net" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
