A tack puller looks like a small screwdriver with a "V" cut in the center. It's used to pull out thumb tacks. You can buy them at just about any hardware store

I find that if you spray a little WD-40 around the plastic pins in the back of the engine shroud (or any plastic pins for that matter), and use a tack puller to lift under them, you can usually remove them without breaking them. A better solution for this situation is to replace the pins with 6mm he...

Well hereâ€™s a â€œBad Continental Tire:â€ story that turned out good. After two years and 22,500 miles, I finally had enough of these inferior tires. I had them rotated at 6000-mile intervals and kept them at the proper inflation. Finally went to the dealer and stated that something was definitely...

Does any one out there know how much weight the Vibe can handle in the back. I have to haul some flooring material and it adds up to about 650lbs. With the seats folded down and all do you think the Vibe can do this withouy busting a spring or something? I'll only be hauling it about 10 miles.

I was wondering, are the trim rings Ragin Fish is talking about, the chrome rings around the gauges? Are the clips under the rings?

roddney1

Tanx for the info. I'll contact my Pontiac dealer for the price of a new switch assembly. I'm sure my daughter's Firebird is set up the same way then.

Does anyone know how to replace the bulbs in the GM steering wheel radio controls? I know the air bag is in the wheel so I'm a little nervous about doing anything major in there. Do the buttons just pull off, or what?

roddney1

Which brand is better, Draw-Tite or Hidden Hitch? They both seem easy to install. I was mostly interested in which one would be less visible under the car.

In a few weeks my family & I will be taking a trip to Niagara Falls Canada. Coming from Illinois. I am planning to go thru Detroit, Windsor and then up to the falls. I have a few questions maybe some of you can help me with. 1 Can anybody recommend a place to stay near the falls at a reasonable ...

roddney1

I tied my mother-in-law up to the roof rack with plenty of room to spare for the rest of the in-laws in the back! LOL

roddney1

Seems to me that too many people are LIGHT CRAZY these days! Why not mount a set of "aircraft landing lights". You should be able to see for miles! LOL

roddney1

Yep, I think the mystery is solved! Humm, Now, if I could just figure what that extra button (one of three) is doing on the dash that you can't push......Oh well, I guess that's another mystery. Don't want to drive you guys nuts or anything!!

roddney1

oops

roddney1

Sounds like you have the same plug. Iwonder if these are also on the 03's only they did a better job of tapeing them up.

roddney1

OutlaW...If you find anything out on that, I M me. I'd sure like that too.

roddney1

Mars Rover perhaps?

roddney1

Here's a front view of "THE PLUG". The holes in it seem to be only about 1/16" in dia. http://images.cardomain.com/me...l.jpg

roddney1

That would be great if it was. I'm planning to hook up a trailer in the future.

roddney1

The taillights work, the back wiper works, the back washer works, the hatch works, the keyless entry works,.....ahhh the "Great Rear Plug Mystery"! A "shiny new dime" to who ever can figure it out!

roddney1

Ya, me too. Cuttin into wires always makes me nervous.

roddney1

Just went out to check the tail lights. They all work ok.

roddney1

I get the ol' SHOCK-A-ROO when I get out of the car too......I LIKE IT. It lets me know I'm ALIVE!!

roddney1

This is a 04 Vibe. I believe the plug had at least 7 holes.

roddney1

I have the power package. So it can't be for that.

roddney1

While rummaging around the back hatch of my Vibe, I opened the back right compartment & saw a black plug with 4 or 5 wires attached. Does anyone know what it's for? I thought maybe it could be for additional speakers?

roddney1

Had a key made at Ace Hardware a while back. $.99. Works fine! There is no chip in the Vibe key.

roddney1

Mequiar's also makes a "Quick Detailer" in a red bottle that I think is very simular to the #34 Formula.

roddney1

I also used Raginfish's instal. "No Problems!" Little rough getting the grills out at first, just take your time. I would suggest, to be safe, to put a piece of wood in the radiator support bracket when you drill the hole for the extra horn bolt to help protect the radiator. If you start w...

roddney1

Nice Prize! - Chaotic. Did you install em yet?

roddney1

With twp months & 2100 miles my avg. (cheched yesterday) was 28.4 mpg! This is approx. 70% highway @ 70-75 mph. My daughter, driver in training, uhg!! probably doesn't help my average though.

roddney1

Check to see if all your plug wires are on good.

FYI... I purchased a set of Hella SuperTones model #85115 at De Nunzio Racing Products For $57.95 plus $6.50 shipping. They arrived in 6 days. http://www.denunzioracing.com

Never thought about the hood pin thing...Good idea! Should I fuse the line also?

roddney1

Hey people, I have a mercury switched under hood light that I salvaged from my old 84â€™ Buick Century. Iâ€™d like to install it in my Vibe. Any ideas on a good place to mount it under the hood without going thru! Where is a good place to connect for 12v. Iâ€™m SLIGHTLY proficient in hooking up stuf...

roddney1

Gee, I guess I'm A rebel. I always thought FOG lights were for FOG... not to look cool. I guess the more lights on the front of the ol' Viber the cooler you are.
