Finished installation of a Curt Trailer Hitch on my Vibe from etrailer.com. It was relatively easy to put on and the tolerances are FAR better than I expected, it looks great and fits snug with the body effects. The only additional purchase I made was a Metric Tap at NAPA Auto to clean out the threa...

Thanks for the replies, I appreciate it

josholiver1

Thanks for the reply XRvibe10, I had a bi-xenon setup for my 03', had them aimed correctly and never got flashed. I really like your setup, perfect color temp. Did you remove your headlight for installation? There's hardly any room in there compared to my 03'.

josholiver1

Looking into getting a HID kit for my 09' GT. I have been looking online for a set of projectors but i cant find any aftermarket headlamp assemblies which is frustrating. I broke down and purchased a plug-n-play kit online last year but when I went to install them they would not fit into the housing...

josholiver1

Just a random thought, has anyone noticed any corolla, camry, matrix with this problem, ive been looking at ones that I pass on a daily basis and they seem to have same/similar panels and do not show signs of rust...

josholiver1

Oh, nope, sorry

josholiver1

If anyone needs an 03' owners manual I found mine today doing some spring cleaning. Let me know

Quote, originally posted by 09vGT Â»What do they consider it then? Its a part, on the outside, of the body. Idiots. It is ridiculous. I think they consider it a mechanical part, like a door window or something like that, thats the only explanation I can come up with.

josholiver1

Multiple dealers told me it was not considered a body part, and so did GM customer service, which would mean the corrosion warranty does not cover the pannel, outside of the three year warranty.

josholiver1

Yes that is exactly what happens I think, good luck.

josholiver1

Sorry for the bad pics, mine started in the front drivers side and the front passangers side a little after and then spread in the front towards the middle

josholiver1

That's not good, at least you caught it early and under warranty.

josholiver1

Michigan winters will do that too, especially this warm winter, since they salt during snow and then the next few days are in the 40's really makes the salt go to work. I don't have access to a body shop down here and i'm debating on what preventative measures I could take to make this one last long...

josholiver1

I don't think I did anything improper or anything got wedged in and broke it. I get it Zebart Triple Diamond coated every year which isn't cheap and I take really good care of of it (wash and armor-all almost every week). The shop manager and I were talking about it and it seems to have had a bad se...

josholiver1

I'm glad yours doesn't, probably just a bad batch from the factory or something, just got mine back and they did a great job on it, looks much better and now I can actually use it this summer!

josholiver1

Nope no leaking, the dealer was worried that over time it would ruin the frame on my car if it kept progressing worse. Although they used "DIAG WINDNOISE" on the work order. I wonder if this is a common problem in the 09's, i saw a post awhile ago about it...

josholiver1

After attempting multiple times at multiple dealerships I am finally getting my sunroof panel replaced under warranty. After a few calls to GM's pontiac customer service they directed me to a Grand Buick in the Grand Rapids area. Even though my 09' GT is out of warranty (only in years not miles) the...

josholiver1

Its time for some new rotors, i've checked at advance auto and a few other places and they don't have many options for the 09+ vibes, advance didn't even have a price for the stock rear rotors, let alone any performance options. Is there are any good places online to order slotted rotors from? Thanks

josholiver1

Interesting, well the final diagnosis is a new Electronic Brake Control Unit. He said all the wiring and connections are fine, and those lights can mean multiple things, even a loose gas cap, and he said there were tons of codes that went off and were recorded. The previous owner lived up in the UP ...

josholiver1

As a few others have experienced on their 09 vibes, half way through winter my ABS, Flashing VSC Off, TC, and Brake Light are all on, taking it to the dealer tomorrow. Service guy said that he has yet to hear of this problem, so it has me worried. So far i have heard that the problems have been...1....

josholiver1

Have fun!

josholiver1

I would just do that, its just an annoyance to me, and the service tech said they have done the repair a few times for people

josholiver1

Since i owned my GT ive noticed that the speedometer has been consistently 5-7 mph faster than surrounding cars and my GPS has also confirmed this, took it to the dealer and they said its a common problem and ordered a new cluster, hopefully this new one will be much more accurate, and im also leary...

josholiver1

Do you have the Moon N Tunes? My amp under the seat went out and i had to buy a new one for my old 03' last summer and what your describing happened to me, just a guess tho

josholiver1

Congrats, the wheels look great on the few i've seen them on.

josholiver1

Those look great, but the expense of the stock headlamps, sending them out, in addition to the fabrication costs is a little to much for me, i guess ill have to look rice-y until i can afford a car with projectors

josholiver1

What i would give for TSX projectors, i wish an aftermarket company would build a set, we picked up a fairly inexpensive (compared to factory) projector set for our Yukon and they have held up pretty well, and before i had the HID's in the 03 i had a set of PIAA bulbs and one burned out after two we...

josholiver1

I like that color a lot too, with my lighting mine looks blue but its actually abyss.On a different note, has anyone put HID's in the stock housing on the 09's, i know my 03 did a fairly good job with them once i aimed them down a bit.

josholiver1

Thanks everyone, i love my new 09' it feels like a much sturdier car than my 03' was, although i had a terrible dealership experience with Fox Motors in Grand Rapids which is where im going to school now, but in the end i got a very good deal, its an 09 with 12,000 miles for 15,000 OTD and hasnt bee...

josholiver1

Ha agreed, my friend went in the ditch on Indian Reserve and it was really hard to get out one winter.

josholiver1

Traded in my 03 for an 09, i will miss her though..., adding tint, and HID's soon, very happy that i dont have to get Bi-Xenon again like my 03 though...

josholiver1

For about a few months now when ever i would start the my car up in the morning it would make this "gurgling" sound that seemed as if one of the plastic panels on the under body was loose. Well, yesterday morning rolled around and i started the vibe as usual, but this time the sound was ev...

josholiver1

Thanks for the comments There MKW 17 inch Chrome, i would love a drop, but im saving up for my next ride, took a GTI for a ride the other day and fell in love

josholiver1

Here are some new pics after putting my summer tires on and installing my new DRL's

josholiver1

I just ordered a Turn Signal DRL Module for the vibe and i was wondering if there was any Turn Signal Wire Diagrams for the vibe out there because there seems to be many more wires than the in the directions, and im not sure what to connect and what not to connect Thanks

Thank You! I was going for the SS look by the way

josholiver1

So i just got my new Sony HU and its sat radio ready so i purchased the XM direct Connect System. What a joke. the system works for 10 min, overheats, then dies. Im so disappointed I guess ill be returning it and buy a new separate radio thats not direct connect. Ive already paid for the radio to be...

Quote, originally posted by ragingfish Â»Here's my take:If the OP is saying that he is using a relay to power the HID's, and only using the original DRL voltage as a relay trigger, then no, there is no problem reconnecting DRL's. Because the DRL voltage never goes to the ballasts, but merely turns o...

josholiver1

Do they replace just the screws or the whole window pane?

josholiver1

Ok. All i really wanted was the auto headlamp feature, but i understand what your saying, and new HID bulbs arnt cheap. Thanks =]

josholiver1

K. Im guessing if they dont flicker like ive read some do in DRL mode then im ok.

josholiver1

8000 K HID's And Fog Lamps.Ive disabled the DRL's for over a year now and im missing the auto headlamps feature even if it gives me DRL's. My question is wether i am going to fry my balast if i hook the DRL's back up...my HID kit just gets the signal from the headlamp and connects to the battery dir...

josholiver1

Thats pretty sweet DCA i added it to mine. thanks!

josholiver1

TomTom One 3rd Edition. love it.

josholiver1

Its nice to see that there is a 1000 dollars off the 03-04 vibe, it surprises me that they didnt even use the new body style for the ad take a look at the pontiac pagehttp://www.pontiac.com
