Yesterday night I emptied EVERYTHING to the bare plastic and metal.I figured that at this point, nothing can rattle anymore... Drived around, heard it even louder... I'm really going crazy now. Then I thought it could be the lift glass so I drove around with it opened and the sound was almost comple...

Annoying rattling in the rear driving me nuts! Can't find it!!

I have emptied the trunk completely and locked both lids. I even taped some felt below the lids. Figured this time nothing can rattle!But again everytime I drive around and hit some average bumps, the rattle. It sounds light and as if something is loose in the back, but there's nothing left to be lo...

AAAAAH! I hadn't noticed that one. What a great space that is for the cover! Must have been what was rattling in the back, as it was unlocked since the beginning.Thanks a lot!

What's the middle lock switch in the trunk?

It's the one in the center, above the lid (between the child seat hooks). It looks exactly like the other two locks that are used to open the lid accessing the spare wheel compartment, but I can't seem to find what that it's for. Couldn't find it in the manual.

Re: Advice needed for steel rim size (Salsa!)

Where did you get your Toyo's and at what price if you don't mind me asking.I also saw the Arctic Alpin's for $85 instead of $125 at canadiantire.ca, but read other posts from you and fellow quebecers saying to avoid them.Personally the only experience I have is with Pirelli Winter Ice on my old BMW...

Re: Advice needed for steel rim size (Salsa!)

So they won't fit Thanks for letting me know.$38 at Costco is a good price compared to others. Do you still have to buy a membership to purchase at Costco? I haven't been there in years.How do you find your Toyo's?

Advice needed for steel rim size

I am currently looking for winter rims for my 04 base Vibe, and have found someone selling 1 year old steel rims that came off his 1996 Gand Am for 80$ CAD for all 4. He tells me the size is 15 X 6.6 - 100mm. Is this right, do I need additional info to get the right size for the Vibe (offset etc.)I ...

Thank you all for your responses! Much appreciated.So bringing in the car to the dealer won't really help the hatch I suppose. I figured using a different kind of grease/oil could make it close more smoothly. It's only around -5 right now and I really have to slam it with some strength to properly c...

Received my new Abyss Vibe! Questions on rust protection

Got a great deal off my 2004 base Vibe (with Sports Package) thanks to many rebates/incentives, 0% financing and some extra negotiating Bought it at Contact Pontiac in Laval, and had a great time with salesman Jose. He put no sales pressure and knows his stuff. Definitely recommended for Montrealers...
