Thanks so much for your (pretty good) offer! As we already bought a cargo box that fits on the factory bars, we won't need the towers anymore.

But maybe someone else here on the board might be interested. I feel like the whole setup is hard to come by these days.

What did you use for weatherproofing? I saw someone on youtube use some AC insulation I think.

Thank you two for your replies! I hadn't thought about the rear rack as storage rack before. Just for bikes. But that's a pretty good idea! However, I think that would block access to the trunk right? And we were hoping to put our dog in the back (so the hatch wouldn't do). In the meantime we actual...

Three years later finally following up on this. At least I can report on the long-term outcome. I couldn't get the old valve off. Even with PB Blaster the screws wouldn't budge. So I just zip-tied the new one to the old one and connected all the tubes. It works like a charm even after three years an...

If you have to, try getting a hammer and beating a screwdriver with a good, sharp point into the screw. Hit it pretty hard so you can reshape the metal an...

Thanks so much for your fast reply! Because of the slightly different arrangement of the in- and outgoing tubes on the new valve, one of the old hoses will be too short to connect. But buying a replacement apparently is no big deal. Do you have an idea which hose is input or output on the old valve?...

Hi! I recently bought a bright red 2003 Vibe GT. Unfortunately my first post here is not about proud pictures of my new baby but about fixing it. I got a PO441 and PO446 code that the mechanic initially fixed by patching a pinhead sized vapor leak around the fuel cap. However, the PO446 came back a ...
