Re: repair/replace hood Pontiac badge

joatmon: Yes a few years back I did get the grafxwerks decals to refresh the red color for front and rear emblems and I have been very pleased with them. How they have held up to various weather events have been remarkable. However the front badge physically fell apart. And since I have decided to h...

Re: Low beams not working

joatmon-- Yes that happened to a couple of my headlight bulbs a few years back on my 2009... removed the headlight bulb and you could see high beam filament was fine, low beam was broken.

Re: New member 2009 Vibe 2.4L AWD

Encouraging to know that I can possibly get 300k miles out of it!! Will keep a closer watch on how much oil it uses... I'm pretty diligent on changing oil every 4-5K miles and just top off when it starts getting a bit low... I check oil weekly at work as I have a nice level parking lot which is so h...

Re: Are the sensors the same on Vibe and Matrix?

Try your GM dealer/parts dept...They have been a good help for me going back and forth on various bits and pieces on my Vibe AWD. Good luck!!

Re: 2009 2.4 Vibe: Sources for hard-to-find parts

I replaced my headlight assemblies (2009 2.4 AWD) a few years back as they were hazed over and could not get them clear for the life of me. I ordered a set off of Amazon and they were perfect fit. I'll find the link when I get home. They do not come with light bulbs so either use existing ones or bu...
