That's just the problem, though. Not knowing what the previous owner did, the car is kind of impossible to fill properly. I have to fill it slowly enough that I'm probably overriding any check valve and in even more danger of destroying the canister if it isn't already done for.Oh and no warranty. I...

Yeah, that's what I've read Esteban. Unfortunately, I've just gotten the car and had no idea if the previous owner had this bad habit or not. I'll see if it gets any better or if it was just that one pump. I also read where someone attributed it to hot summer days and it is June here in Texas, so......

Thanks to everyone for their previous legwork on this mod. I went with the Radio Shack headphone jack/switch and wired it to my '06 single CD player using the info in previous posts regarding left and right channels. For the ground, I went to where what I assume is the antenna input. The big jack on...

I've tried searching and have seen where people check vent lines, etc. but the '06 system is super sealed and I'm not sure where to check next.There is no CEL and the car runs fine otherwise. I just bought it used with 83K miles on it an...

The cladding and bumpers on the vibe I -should- be closing on tomorrow had a textured finish. Like a molded textured finish. If you search for bumper covers on ebay, you'll see listings for both.If they were just flat surfaces, I'd have no issues sanding and painting them, especially a matte or sati...

Ans while we're at it, how do you remove the panels at the bottom of each door? I've found tutorials and info on every other piece of trim except the ones at the bottom of the door. Do you have to access it from the inside with the door panel off, or are clips exposed when you remove the lower skirt...

Prep and paint for textured trim?

First post, by the way. Loving all the great info on the site.So about the trim... Not sure what to call it exactly... but the two tone business around the bottom edge of the car. I just landed an '06 Salsa with the grey textured panel trim. Well, except for the front lower bumper cover. It's clearl...
