hey, wonderful tip regarding toothpaste. It worked! Not brand new but boy what a difference. Thanks!

Got it. I will give that a go. Thanks - and thanks for the photo too, that really helped to see it.

Thanks I will check it out. on my old vibe, the worst was when the battery in the remote died and I had to run a get a new battery at CVS while the alarm was singing its song.

bought a used 03 vibe. The driver side seatbelt latch should be facing out toward the driver, not toward the driver door. Every time I fasten the seat belt I have to twist the belt so the latch goes into the buckle. Any way to easily take it off and put back in its proper position?

bought a used 03 vibe. It has an alarm which is set on passive arming. but the used car dealer didn't have the remote. Where can I purchase a remote that would work with the alarm installed in the car?
