I went out to my car Saturday, Moonstone Vibey, 2005 AWD, and the RT side Lower Grill Piece is GONE! By the fog light. Would they cover that under the warentee? Vanished, like a hole there. Help. Partszoneonline has this, but what is a 35 option? And do I need things to keep it in, or can I just buy...

debi5475

Thank you, The same thing just happened to me. I knew I didn't hit a snowbank or anything. I went through a carwash, andh it is better. I will go spray it out tomorrow. I thought something serious was wrong when the carwash didn't work.

debi5475

I have had to use the anti-lock brakes a few times this year. Strange. Like a washboard under my foot. I never had them before. I hope that is what they are supposed to feel like. I just kept the pedal down, since that is what I was under the impression I was supposed to do. Felt like I was driving ...

debi5475

He uses Dexcool. Is that the same, or a different formulation?

debi5475

Oops, are we supposed to idle to warm up the car?Longer than to put on the seat belt, and maybe scrape at some ice? Oops. I live in Connecticut. It is supposed to be 60 out there today. I am going to leave work now and find out. I try not to drive faster than the cars around me. EVER.Vibey just goes...

Been gone awhile. Kostby came out into the real world and found me. Wasn't you guys, the people taking car of my 87yo motherinlaw moved out without warning, didn't even tell us AFTER they moved. We found out the next day when she called 911. She has dementia. They just left her there. So real life ...

Got my Thule 751xt crossbars coming from ebay.$125 shipped off ebay.Better start looking fellow 2005 owners.Thule has discontinued them.And then you have will have to buy the 450 feet and the 50 inch crossbars. Much easier to get them in one piece by buying the 751s. They lock in place. Watch ebay, ...

Since I have the 2005 with side/etc. airbag, mine don't extennd.But I was at k-mart looking for the sunglass colored visor pull down thingy. Since my old one, from the Saturn, was super-glued. and the one I found at k-mart was $9.99. I wondered why, so much?Because it can flip to the side. Had a lit...

debi5475

Thanks drunken, I was wondering, since I am getting such bad mileage, if I am doing something wrong. Guess the gas isn't the problem.

debi5475

Even in non-GTs,No one said anything about that to me. Mine came with a tank of 87 in it. That is what I have been running. Up early Mavrik?

debi5475

I have to go to Ebay and buy Vibey a new toy, to make up for being painted in cladding color. 90u WA 238MMoonstone2005I just ordered it from the parts department. Let's see if they can get it?

debi5475

I am getting 21mpg in my AWD, but I assumed it was because the car is still breaking in? I have 1300 miles on it.Any ideas?

debi5475

Was searching the web."Hi guys, Can someone please give me the correct paint code for the Graycladding on a 92 ty, my ID sticker is fadded and I can't read it. Alsoshould the cladding be clear coated?Kevin, the Gray cladding paint color is GM part # 12345039. Code 90, Gray(M), WA 8798. It is no...

debi5475

Go to their website and find the part where they say logos. Look for the genvibe logos. It is the solid one, not the outline one. Or just imagine the genvibe.com logo up top colored metallic platunum. Crooked like that. I think it looks cool.

debi5475

http://www.grafxwerks.com/I like the new ones. But I must be a caveman, I like the old one. I just bought it from grafxwerks, stumbled across it when I was buying my vibey his purple reflective overlays and flame thingies. I bought the pewter reflective solid genvibe.com decal. It is just a smidge l...

debi5475

I will try, I didn't originally have the paint code. Found it last night, with the info from you guys.the 90u. Amazing what you can put in a glove compartment in just 1000 miles. And it was pouring rain.I figured that maybe they wouldn't have them yet, based on others here experiences with new color...

debi5475

I wish it was the same, but it is not. It is a charcoal. It is definately a brown. It is 90u.

debi5475

I have a 2005 Moonstone. With 1200 miles. I need help finding touch up paint, since it is a new color. And I have a tiny chip by my driver's door handle. HELP! My last car was a Saturn. It didn't rust. Paintscratch.com lists the 2005 as having shadow as a color. Huumph. Not the same color.

debi5475

The car didn't even wobble. Didn't jerk. Didn't rock! I tried rocking the steering wheel from side to side also, as I went down the center line, nothing. Solid as a rock, so to speak. And I did not feel a jerk as anything kicked in. And I didn't even take out a telephone pole.

debi5475

What make this street interesting is that it is flat. They are taking out telephone poles in a flat street. Not a hilly street. It has a few bends. They are not bending. You are only a 30 minute drive away, you could come try it yourself. I am kind of hesitant to scare the neighbors right now. They ...

debi5475

There are actually also airbags in my beam thingy, by my face, on the left. the roof support. Hey, that sounds dangerous doesn't it. But it is definately labeled air bags. I didn't look, maybe on the other side also.

debi5475

Golly, I forgot about the stabilatrack stuff. I know I have it. I have an AWD. We have a slightly twisty street here, that people have been using as a race track lately. Maybe I should go out today and use it to check out the Vibe. It is closer than Nascar. The police are no longer blocking it off a...

debi5475

The hole in the center console box has a plug in it, to keep things from falling in. They meant to take out the charger. I miss it and I never had it. Now I understand why I don't have the visor extensions. I have the side-Impact airbags. If they were extended when the airbags deployed, they would i...

debi5475

Yep, I finally looked, and the clearance seems the same, since the muffler/tailpipe is that low. I got mine cause it was cheaper and I new it would fit the 2005. That mattered.

debi5475

buy the thule 751-xt racks on ebayhttp://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...%3AIT

debi5475

Apparently they weren't that useful anyway. I am getting the thule 751-xt rapid load racks off ebay. They are recommended even if you have the standard racks, since the oem are too low. I am just planning on attaching an Escape soft side bag by Thule, which can attach to the side rails alone, but pr...

debi5475

Well you won't get any flak from me, Hehe.

debi5475

I put in my application for sainthood, but surprisingly no one has gotten back to me. Our troop was boy lead. And I think it still is, but the new leader of the past 2 years is much better than the old guard. They had run the troop for 20 years. NO women leaders, etc. Now it is good. I always wanted...

debi5475

No fortunately, and some of them were pretty irritating. Our troop has 19, YES 19 new scouts, that crossed over. 11 year olds. HELP!!!!!!!! So feel free to come run them over. I will sacrifice Phillip for the cause. And my Vibe. I can get a new one. I have $250 deductible. But you have to put the Cl...

debi5475

Oh, that is just all kinds of wrong.I like them toasted just perfectly golden. It is an art. But there is room for all kinds. *Debi goes off to cut some nice green sticks for marshmallow toasting*

debi5475

Now that is sort of not true. My Vibe is Moonstone. They dropped a darker silver to add the dark charcoal. Mine is catpaw dirt metalic color. Very close to the color they dropped, but a smidge lighter and a smidge of brown added. I say sort of not true since the colors are so close.

debi5475

Do read the manual. I started to read it during my campout in the Vibe last weekend. Found 2 buttons I didn't know I had. The window lockout one, and the overdrive one. And found a storage compartment I hadn't noticed, the sunglass sized one on the left leg area of the driver. And I am only half don...

debi5475

I can tell you that the bug shield and the trailer hitch from previous years still fit the 2005. As do the Vents for the windows. I was just at grafxwerks today myself.

debi5475

It says. genvibe.comit is metalic pewter.http://www.grafxwerks.com/prod...LOGO1go down the page, it is the one in the genvibe font. Not in outline, the solid color one. I only have room left on my car for one. I ordered a small rat and a small mouse white vinyl sticker for the small back window area...

debi5475

The mod fever is rubbing off from you guys. Not on the engine and what not. Not gonna happen. But I am doing things slowly to my 2005 AWD Vibey. Next I will name it. I added the remote starter and the alarm system. And the Ventguard window shields. Then had the windows tinted. Then the DrawTite hitc...

debi5475

I just leave the hitch on. I got the hitch and the bike rack from etrailer.com. The 3 bike rack went on and off like a breeze. I did not want the bike on top, and my foster son's bike does not have a removable wheel anyway. I am thinking of getting a thule escape bag for cargo on top, and this leave...

debi5475

I just installed a ventshade #20037 bug shield on my 2005 Vibe, so they fit the '05s. Whether they work, I don't know.

debi5475

Yep, the DriveTite hitch worked like a wonder on a 2005, took Mike 20 minutes to torque it on. Weldnuts still there. And the 3 bike Hidden Hitch XP fold down bike hitch just slide right in. Worked great also. Never even felt the bikes on there, on a 128 mile round trip to the coast journey.

debi5475

Camping in the Vibe was wonderful. We were at Hammonasset, on the Connecticut shore. 22 Boy Scouts. 7 Troop leaders (1 who snores). Me and my Vibe, with an Explorer 2 (little tenty type thing hanging off the back). Moonroof cover open to see stars, warm sleeping bag, self-inflating mat, passenger se...

debi5475

I have found it very helpful. I will miss her though. I liked her.

debi5475

Guess I missed whatever happened. But I am going camping in my Vibe tomorrow, with the boy scouts. I bought an Eclipse 2 tent, that makes the end of the vibe into an entrance, sort of like a tent. So I am pulling my sleeping bag up by that tiny fire up there. Getting the trailer hitch put on tonight...

debi5475

I prefer to think of mine as a mini-SUV, I feel less old that way. CUV sounds good also.

debi5475

Thanks, I am back from my punishment, for being bad. That is why I came here originally, seeking advice, before I bought. Kids. We don't have any. Or we didn't the first, 14 years of our marriage. By choice. We got our foster son back after a year. He was now 5'7' and 192 lbs. This was June 25th. An...

debi5475

Uuh, they don't do that either, do they? Oh well.

debi5475

I am an old people (50) and a car is not what I thought of when I saw Vibe woodie.*Debi puts herself in the corner for half an hour* I will be back after I am done with timeout.

debi5475

sorry, can't help with that. But that brings up a question I have, and maybe a solution. I am getting my windows tinted tomorrow. Yes Debi is back with more questions. Yes, you guys are bad influences. The mods are starting. I got the remote started and car alarm put in last saturday. He even put in...

debi5475

I better be careful if it is Vibe hunting season. There are dead squirrels all over the place, I don't know what is going on. I don't want dead Vibes joining them.

debi5475

Oohhh, Kari, Now I know where my extra christmas lights are gonna be this year. Do you think the police will stop me?

debi5475

Thank you so much. I looked under the car. Hey, I have 6 nice big screw holes. Oops, sounds bad. Anyway. Three on each side, in a row, easily accessible. Hey. Neat. Debi is gonna do this. Ordered the hitch from etrailer, along with the bike rack. I emailed them, and they said the bike rack would fi...
