Re: Headlight adjustment? (LadyHwk750)

Well, I have finally had the other issues resolved, except they scratched my car in the process. They are ordering the piece to replace that (molding in the middle of the door). I have become disgruntled with the whole thing. No, i haven't had the headlights looked at yet. I'm pretty sick of taking ...

Well, i went to the dealer, for another reason and they "didn't have time to look at the headlights, I would have to make a separate appointment". Nice, eh? So, when i go back in again for the other problem i am having I will schedule them to look at the headlights too. Sorry I couldn't he...

Re: Roof Cargo Holder question (The Sauce Boss)

I just saw one in a Cabela's magazine this past weekend. It was 2 large duffle bags with wheels and everything and then a cover to go over top of them. It looked really cool and it was only 130 bucks for everything. I am thinking about getting it myself.

Re: Hesitation/missing during acceleration (vibb)

I have noticed the same sort of hesitation, mostly when the engine is cold. Once it warms up it seems to be fine. Another time I notice it is just before the 2nd cam kicks in.

Re: Black outs/ Tinted lights. (d_m_kolb)

Ok....stupid question but Why on earth would you want to do something like that especially when you bashed someone for wanting to turn offf his daytime running lights?! It really doesn't make any sense to me to "tint" something that is helping you see and be seen.

The A/C systems are also different. Delphi makes the Vibe and I believe it is Denso that makes the Matrix.

Here is the real info on why your a/c might not be cold enough.I work for the company that designed and builds it. I spent 2 years working on the design aspect of it myself. When My vibe came in the A/C wasn't very cold either. I spoke to the engineer about it and he said that is a common problem th...

They are on there with just double sided tape. Used a little dental floss and "sawed" under them. Came off with out any trouble, then used some goof off to get the left over adhesive off and waxed it when I was finished.

Re: Can you paint the bottom to make it monotone? (fritzburg)

Another thing to beware about is :When I took delivery of my vibe, 2 of the wheelwells were scratched. It took 3 weeks for the new parts to come in and they don't even match. The dealer said, "give it a month ans see if they fade. Otherwise we lwill replace everything".
