Thanks Base, glad they finally got it fixed for you, but did they mention how they fixed. Either way, I'll figure something out to this weekend, right now I'm over 400 miles away from my car.

nate66

On second thought Ponyota, I took the one off of the passenger side, and put it on the drivers side and it still did the same thing, so there must still be a problem. I'll probably still try bending it this weekend if no one can come up with a better solution.

nate66

Thanks, Ponyota I did some grinding on it, I'll try to get the rest of clearance I need from bending it. Vibe_dude, yes the bar scrapes against the glass when you raise and lower the window, in my case, I can really tell, because it screwed up my window tinting.

nate66

I'm not sure, but I have powered windows.

nate66

Thanks, it's very dramatic when the bottom of the window hits that piece of metal, I could definitely see it breaking someoneâ€™s window, plus it's really hell on window tinting.

nate66

Well I took my door panel off with the intent of fixing the cracking window problem today, and here is where I am. Here is the vicinity of the problem, and the area I was working.Here are some great pictures of the problem. As you can see the piece of metal the stops the door from swinging open is g...

I liked it way before the advertising campaign too, the Element on the other hand is a different story.

I had ebay headlights in my Vibe for about two months, before they died within a week of each other. One of them not only died, but it exploded, leaving chunks of glass, and a smoky film on the inside of my headlight housing.

Quote Â»I bet the new Mustang will have good sales as long as it is around.That's not saying much, considering the Mustang has no competition in the pony car market at the moment. We'll see how the retro design holds up in a few years, when there's a Dodge Charger, and maybe a new Camaro on the mark...

nate66

Like the Thunder Bird, this is a good example of how retro styled cars don't stay desirable for long. Hopefully auto manufactures will get the message, and come up with some fresh ideas, instead of rehashing designs form 40 years ago.

nate66

I cut slits in my mat, and took those little doors over the anchors off, so the mat lies flat, and there's no visible hole since the slit closes around the hook.

After having ABS on my last few vehicles, I wouldn't get a car without them. ABS has saved my (removed) more than once on slippery winter roads. As for wheels, get the base 16" steel wheel if you plan on putting aftermarket wheels on later, but if you plan on staying stock like me spring for th...

nate66

That sounds pretty cool, what is the speed limit?

nate66

The Manual costs more on the Corvette too. I think it's because the auto is just an off the shelf GM transmission, but the Manual (Tremec T56) is bought from an outside company, so there is probably more cost involved.

nate66

Mine does it too, very annoying.

nate66

In case anyone is still thinking of buying these, don't. I had mine in for about 3 months; then this weekend they went to total crap. The passenger side low beam died on Friday, and then on Saturday, the driver's actually exploded filling my head light with shattered glass and smoke. Luckily were ab...

nate66

I looked at the Elantra GT, it had a great warranty, and tons of standard equipment, but it ended up being to small, to hard to find one, and the closest Hyundai dealer is 40 miles away.I also considered the 5 door Focus hatch back, since it was priced nice with plenty of options, and it had a 100,0...

nate66

Edmunds mentioned the that the Vibe GT felt way better than the GT Cruiser, and Mustang, in there Colorado review, also.http://www.edmunds.com/new/200...sts.1.*

I'm with Allied Insurance, and it's classified as a station wagon.

The Redline Vue would be reliable since it uses Honda's 3.5 liter V6 from the Pilot.

nate66

Here are a few points from my Shadow Base Vibe with 20,000 miles on it.-No paint problems.-No cladding or weather strip problems-Picked up the GM cargo mat for $50-The engine loves to rev, and most of the power is up high so don't be afraid to run higher RPM's when you need the power.-No a/c noise.-...

nate66

Crutchfield does have amazing service, but the prices are to high.I now shop at http://www.etronics.com, their prices are really good, and they have a solid return policy.

nate66

Power Package, Moon & Toons, Automatic, and Alloy wheels, I also kept the cargo net, and first aid kit when I traded in my Santa Fe, so I have those too.I'm also going to have a cargo mat, and mud flaps if 1st Pontiac Parts gets their (removed) in gear.

nate66

Wow, sounds good Larry, and the $2500 price from GM Parts Direct sounds much better than the $3000 price tag that was going around. I'll be really tempted next spring.

nate66

I think bulbs are coverd in the first 12 months or 12,000 miles.

The Honda HSC is so hot, it'll make the perfect next generation NSX.

nate66

I'm not trying to be an (removed) or anything; I'm just trying to point out a few facts. The PT Cruiser/SRT-4's 2.4 is pretty much just a stroked version of the base Neon 2.0. Here's information on both engines.2.0http://www.allpar.com/mopar/2.html2.4http://www.allpar.com/mopar/24.htmlAlso both cars...

nate66

That's just crazy saying the SRT-4 isn't a Neon, it still looks like a riced up Neon, it still has a low grade Neon interior, it still uses the same engine block as the base Neon, and it's still made by Chrysler just like a Neon. The funny thing is, I've never heard a SVT Cobra owner say my car is N...

nate66

Maybe I should have said mistakes instead of discrepancies. For instance:â€œTowing capacity is higher than Protege5, with 53 cu. ft. versus the Mazda's 38 cu. ft.â€ Measuring towing capacity in cu. ft.?â€œPerformance-wise, the standard edition's 134 hp @ 6,000 rpm competes directly with comparable ...

nate66

IGN should stick to video games, because that review was horrible, and full of discrepancies.

nate66

I'd still buy a Vibe, I haven't had a single problem with mine in 14,000 miles, not even paint problems.

nate66

All Kia's, and Hyundaiâ€™s are heavier than their Japanese, and American counterparts. The Koreans currently don't have advanced manufacturing processes like hydro forming, so they just have to weld more steel into their vehicles to make them strong. Also the Sedona did horrible in the Insurance Ins...

nate66

That's a nice looking car, the design is much cleaner than the Matrix, but it's still not as good looking as the Vibe.

I live in Wabash, it's about 45 miles southwest of Fort Wayne.

nate66

I see about 4 or 5 a day, but I've only seen one Matrix in the three months I've had my Vibe.

nate66

My Hyundai Santa Fe had had a manumatic, and I barely ever used. It was nice when we visited the Smokey Mountains, because you could just leave it in forth gear, instead of having the transmission search for the right gear on inclines, but that was about it's only useful purpose.It would also probab...

nate66

I've never had another vehicle that lost resume memory after a stop; once speed was back above 25. I searched for threads about this, and the consensus was all Toyotas are like this, and I find it very annoying.

nate66

Yeah, I got a call from them. I mentioned the missing shift lock cover, stuff sliding around in the back, cruise resume loss when going under 25, and cladding that scratches easily.I also told him, I'm very pleased with the Vibe.

nate66

silverawd, how do you plan on getting that Michigan road salt out from under your car this winter, without underbody wash? Just wondering, since I'd like to get a CAI too.

nate66

Hopefully XM will force radios stations to start using RDS to stay competitive.

nate66

Or he could use this for inspiration. http://www.autoweek.com/cat_print.mv?po ... 66Thatâ€™s the SVT Cobraâ€™s blown 4.6 stuffed into a SVT Focus.
