The dealer shouldn't have a problem with it. They advertise on their owners cars with nametags, plate brackets, or plates. I don't recall ever reading anything in a lease that would prohibit it, as long as you are not doing something illegal. You are right to have concern on how it will effect the c...

Quote, originally posted by robdog Â» The vibe has crappy resale value. If anyone were to ask me advice about the vibe i would say don't get one unless you are going to drive it till it won't drive anymore because resale is total crap.....just to let you know how little all of our vehicles are worth...

Quote, originally posted by Vibe o rater Â»I understand your position but are both the Vibe and Matrix assembled at the Nummi Production site? If not, I would then say it is a GM quality control problem with the drain hoses not being connected, not a Toyota design issue. Sorry if I sounded negative ...

All the rebate programs ended on 8/2/2004. The page you link to was last updated 8/2/04. Wait a little while and it will have the next round of rebates.

If it was my car, if the leak source was not easily and immediately found (windshield, sunroof drain), I would insist that the carpet be removed to dry completely (which may not be a bad idea anyways), and the headliner be removed to assist in locating the leak source. As this may be more then the w...

Vibe is in full production, there just aren't any dealers that want to stock GTs. It accounts for 2% of Vibe sales. So you may have a long wait to find one. Just factory order a GT the way you want.

As posted, 10" from wheel to breast bone has always been the standard. There was so talk recently about making it 7" with a warning for possible injury under 10", but it stays at 10". And the Vibe might be worse, without a traditional American tilting wheel, deployment appears to...

From the Dunlop site:Any puncture or injury to a tire's tread area obviously affects performance and safety. Proper repair is critical. The puncture must be repaired on both the inside and the outside of the tire. Because all parts of a tire are engineered to function as a single unit, any repair mu...

Oh, I thought it had something to do with a "GMC" truck issue.

Vibewatcher

Check out the GM site http://www.mygmlink.com . Have read that they send notice of recalls. But not sure if it includes cars in Canada, but check it out and see. Others have posted that they get updates from their insurance companies, but I do not recall which companies and in which country.

Vibewatcher

The mudflaps to fit a 04 montone are the flaps that have been in use since the 2003 came out and have always been available. The new part number is just for the 2004 two-tone cars with the wider rocker molding.

Vibewatcher

If you have the warranty booklet that comes with the car, you will be able to read that GM will void the warranty on cars that have been issued a salvage title. If GM has done that in your case, and the dealer checks the warranty status, you may be out of luck. Assuming the dealer determines the hol...

Quote, originally posted by esjones Â»Yeah, but there's one on eBay that you can have for $99.95!Well, that saves some money. Perhaps a Nav equiped Vibe owner could try taking one of those trucks for a test drive (or at least the disc) and report back. A source tells me that at least some of the 200...

Take the offer to buy at invoice and order the car with the equipment and color you want. Your post dosen't indicate an immediate need. Get the safety features, and consider the onstar. I would even drop the aluminum wheels to cover some of the safety features.Take a 24hour test drive from the deale...

Quote, originally posted by mkedz » they say the computer says that is the correct # for the flaps. I guess computers can't be wrong. The parts department computers all use software bought from outside companies who get the data from GM, not GM itself. Could be an error in the companies input of the...

In a previous thread, I posted some info on the nav system. http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=10366 In the USA the price is comparable with other simular systems.There is also a link to two sites which show the map detail by areas.On another note, if you exits are off by one, is the GPS workin...

Quote, originally posted by NSimkins Â» Hopefully we can get feedback from more 2004 Vibe/6-disk in-dash CD owners.

Perhaps you can get assistance from the service center that did the first rotation. Or whomever has been checking the pressures and not getting them right, your gas station?

Vibewatcher

With the costs of shipping from the on line sites, it might be just as economical to order them from your dealer. Make sure they order the newly released front flaps to fit the '04s. Enjoy the car.

Vibewatcher

Interesting. My readings have indicated an August '04 2005 Sedan start up, June '05 2006 Coupe start up, and an October '05 2006 Convertible start up.On a side note, postings I have read indicate that a G6 sedan is on display at the GM Auto Show In Motion events. Good chance to check out a lot of ca...

(Been searching around to post a leak to something I recall reading but haven't found it yet. Tried here, came close with a search at the Matrix/Vibe service forums at another location, perhaps it was one of the Matrix sites.)On the Matrix/Vibe, the sunroof seal is not designned to be leak proof.

Got a chance to see the new flaps in the parking lot at my daughters school today.Color match with the lower parts looked good. They overlap the fender and front portion of the rocker panel moldings. Wouldn't call it "flush" fitting, but looks ok and that it was designned for the car it is...

Vibewatcher

I believe I have read that the 2005 Vibe features "Programable" power door locks. This feature is only availabel with the automatic transmission. I would guess that you still get power door locks with manual transmission, you just do not have the "Programable" functions.

Vibewatcher

Quote, originally posted by kostby Â»I read on the OnStar website that in its current (analog) form may no longer be usable after 2/16/2008.That is not the newest versaion of OnStar. The 2005 Vibe was listed as "analog/digital" on a window label.

Had an opportunity to check out some 2005 Vibes. Didn't have a chance to drive any, as we were on our way home from a funeral. But I don't recall reading of any changes that would effect how they drive. All three were solid paint. Two front wheel and one all wheel drive.Exterior:Ran hand along from ...

Latest Montana rebates according to GM:$5000 for current GM owners, and I think $1000 additional for those with the built in video system.

I have been reading several different threads about the nav system in the Vibe. Have done some research and it seams to throw some light on several topics. It appears that the data disc is made by a company called Denso. Found a site which shows the different areas that are covered and the amount of...

May have corrected the engine, but still has it listed as having Power Seat, and 4wd with a front wheel drive vin.
