Hey!

I have a pair of crossbars from a 2003 Vibe for sale. Original factory parts. In good condition. $70 for the pair plus shipping. Let me know if you're interested. I can do PayPal.

Spray some WD40 in the key hole and work the key gently back and forth this should work. Toyota locks tend to freeze up if not used for a while. I hope this is the solution, because this happened to me too. (Can the cold kill a battery??) Actually, this is the 2nd time this happened. 2003 Vibe... c...

Awesome, thanks.

I'm the 3rd owner of my 2003 Vibe and I somehow got the recall notice (via snail mail) for the driver side airbag harness (?) issue a few months back... Took the letter into a GM dealership and they fixed it. I haven't gotten anything about this latest passenger-side recall though. Should I wait for...

(removed), I'm sorry, I just sold it on eBay and neglected to delete this posting. Will do that now.

If your car has been waxed over the years,...perhap what you are seeing is the wax lifted off the paint finish... I would think that if it was paint, then it would of bubbled up or blistered up off the metal. Try Bug and tar remover....it is basiclly mineral spirits.....or a car wax stripper. Oh, t...

Home Depot or lowes sells sheets of lexan. Walmart or auto store for silicon. Cool, I'll have to wait until it isn't over 100 degrees outside so I can work on it! I know this is an old post and maybe you already fixed it, but I have a brand new driver-side assembly for sale: http://forums.genvibe.c...

SOLD.

Hard to say for sure, but I would guess you have simply moved the super glue around with the rubbing alcohol and further spread the glue with the acetone. Although the nail polish remover could have affected the cars finish, it does not appear to in the picture. You may be able to buff off the supe...

03VIBEswfl

Hey all- So I was trying to glue the jiggly plastic part over the driver side keyhole (and later put on some semi-cheesy "chrome" door handle covers, which at least make the 4 handles on the car look uniform...) Anyway, I had some serious leakage of the super glue down the side of the door...

Question: If PlastiDip peels off so easily, is it intended to be a permanent or semi-permanent thing, or is it understood to be temporary? In other words, I've been itchin' to remove my crossbars and then plasti-dip what remains of the roof rack and the parts that hold it up/hold it to the car... A...

I decided to PlastiDip my wheels for the heck of it this weekend... PlastiDip is a truly awesome product! It sprays really nice and evenly and it really does peel right off without issue. I had a really easy time removing it from all the little bolts on the wheels. I gave it just enough time to dry...

I just had a door handle break today, but it was a different kind of break... Attached files Exact ting happened to me, on the driver door most recently. Matter of fact, I only have one of the original door handles left on my 03 Vibe. These things were clearly half-assed. I'm tempted to just crazy ...

I used peanut butter to restore the cladding because the butter is cheap and smells yummy. It worked like a charm, but felt very wrong.

Wait, What?! What does the PB do? I'm intrigued...

03VIBEswfl

Here's what I would do. Lay the front plate on the passenger floor where it is handy and only if/when you were to get pulled over, grab it & place it onto the dashboard. This way your "not quite" breaking the law but just buying time before you absolutely have to put it on your bumper...

Hey y'all- Sorry for the really basic question, but I just moved from Florida to NY and have to put a freakin' front license plate on. I already checked in the back where the spare is and there's no bracket back there, as some have suggested. Anyway, am I correct in assuming that the two little inde...

Yea, tell me about it... funny thing is (I forgot to mention this), I just changed the freakin driver side bulb about 2 months ago. Jeez. Gonna search on GenVibe to see what people think are the best/reliable/longest lasting bulbs... Good to hear this is probably just a filament/bulb and nothing mor...

03VIBEswfl

2003 base Vibe -- I have pretty standard bulbs installed - no xenon or halogen or anything; I think I'm using silvania or philips -- I think less than $40/bulb if I remember correctly. Anyway, 3-4 days ago, all of a sudden and out of the blue, the driver side DRL and low-beam stops working, BUT, whe...

The sunroofs on these cars are not and have never been watertight. Almost always when there is water visible from the roof it is because of a clogged drain. There is a tray around the opening to catch the drip that WILL get past the seal. The water catch gutter has a drain in each corner. Since the...

03VIBEswfl

Hey all, Looking for some advice on what appears to be a leaky sunroof. I have a base 2003 Vibe with 127K on it. About 2-3 months ago I started to notice that each time there was a really, really intense torrential downpour of rain, or anytime I took it through a high-pressure car wash, there would ...

Any tips/how-to's on replacing the whole foglight assembly?

03VIBEswfl

I don't really have any good answers but if it helps at all, the weird noise my blower was making *did* go away after a while... jsut had to use the heat/AC on HIGH whenever possible and as much as possible... whatever it was I guess got dislodged or blown out...

03VIBEswfl

2003 Vibe here.. called the 1-800 number and jumped through all the hoops, and got a recording saying "there are no open recalls for your vehicle."

Works for me.

03VIBEswfl

Hmm, but wouldn't the amp (assuming that's what it is) under the passenger seat indicate M&T?

03VIBEswfl

Looked under the passenger seat, and lo and behold there's a flat metal box with wires attached to it -- the M&T amplifier, I presume?

03VIBEswfl

Thanks y'all. I'll search around on here to see if there's any how-to's for what you're talking about. 'Fraid to say I'm pretty inept technically...

03VIBEswfl

Well I definitely have the tweeters.

The "monsoon" thing people talk about only came around in later models, right?

03VIBEswfl

Cool, thanks... What about removing the new filter and sticking one of those vacuum cleaners at the car wash right up to the slot where the filter goes on it and trying to suck out whatever it is that way? I can't think of any other vacuum that can get in there... Also good to know that the sound di...

Today I replaced the cabin air filter on my 2003 Vibe with about 110,000 miles on it. Gottdamn, I don't think it was ever changed. It was completely stiff, falling/tearing apart, and smothered in leaves, dust, dirt and other crap. It was disgusting. I tried my best to get the whole thing out; I had ...

What's up y'all- Silly question, maybe, but I'm trying to figure out if I actually have the "Moon n Tunes" package" since that's going to impact any after-market stuff I want to do on there. I have a 2003 Vibe with a moonroof and all of its original paperwork. On the original window s...

Having similar issues myself. Bought a used 2003 Vibe about 5 months ago, and sometime about 4-5 weeks ago the driver window went crooked and then almost dropped into the door... Was able to pull it back up. Dealership tried to fix it and charged me $135 for the labor - guy says that they used some ...

03VIBEswfl

Could they be contributing to the general shitty/scratchy/ "speakers are blown out" type of sound I get if I'm listening to the radio and DON'T have the sound completely coming from the rear speakers?... Or is it just the front speakers that gotta go?

03VIBEswfl

2003 Vibe.

Not a big do-it-yourselfer, as you can tell.

What are those things? There's one on each side of car, sort of near the rearview mirrors. Look like speakers or tweeters or something... anybody know? I'm looking to do some modification on the sound system and was wondering.

What's up all- So I'm not really the mechanical type and I need to take my 2003 Vibe somewhere to get a couple things fixed (driver side window came "out of the track," one of the door handles broke off) and some regular service - wheel alignment, oil change, tune up, etc... I don't have a...
