Re: How do I remove the XM antenna?

Wel, I've answered my own question... Poking around the forums here, I realized that antenna is standard for many GM vehicles. So after googling around for a few minutes, I came across this page: http://www.archivedsites.com/techlink/2006/05/onstar-and-xm-antenna.html" onclick="window.open...

Re: How do I remove the XM antenna?

Yeah, I was able to work off the rubber part and can see the two small metal antennas below. Does anyone know the function of each? My car isn't equipped for OnStar... Looks like this with the rubber cap removed. There's a little notch where it looks like you might be able to pry off the plastic hou...

How do I remove the XM antenna?

Hey all, I have an '07 Vibe with the factory installed XM radio. I need to install roof rack crossbars, so it looks like I need to remove the XM antenna. Does anyone know how to pop it off? I use the satellite radio, so I definitely don't want to bust it. :)

Appreciate any advice. Thanks!

I'm in Durham, just got my Abyss 07 from Hendrick in Cary a few weeks ago. So far I've tinted the windows and that's about it. I got the Monsoon system with XM and a sunroof, so that's about all I need.

HOLD THE DAMN PHONE. Parts.com sent me the stupid lid instead of the cool secret compartment lid! The illustration for the part CLEARLY shows that it's the double-compartment lid, not the cheap one they sent. Now I've got to mess around with a return and getting the right part... This is the only ti...

I was also looking for one of these for my 07. After unsuccessfully searching ebay, scrapyards, etc, I found that Parts.com has the Matrix lid assembly for $40 and the Pontiac one for like $160. Yes, $160. I have no idea why the price difference, but because everyone on here has said they're interch...

Re: Best Tinting in Raleigh/Durham, NC? (JimmyO)

Well, I ended up taking it to Colortyme Custom Wheels on Hillsborough Rd in Durham, and they did a nice job. $185 tinted all side and rear windows plus a strip on the windshield. There's just one little spot on the windshield strip all the way at the end on the passenger side where there's a small i...

Best Tinting in Raleigh/Durham, NC?

I just got a new 07, and the abyss finish could sure use a nice tint job. Can anyone recommend a good tinting place in the Durham, NC area?

Re: (engineertwin2)

Yes, it is definitely in the realm of possibility that I'm a complete doofus and doing just that. I'm going to keep a careful eye on it now. Especially if the hatch glass being open puts the door ajar light on, though a.) I didn't think it did and b.) I'm pretty sure I checked the glass too when the...

Re: Mysterious door ajar light (joatmon)

Thanks... It's definitely fully closed because I am able to lock the car in the first place. (Right? You can't lock the car if it thinks a door is open?) It's only after unlocking and getting in the driver door that it thinks the hatch is open. So freaking weird... I'll check out the hatch handle an...

That's sort of what I would think... But why does it think it's closed when I get out of the car at night and lock it, but then when I get in in the morning without opening the hatch, all of the sudden it thinks the hatch is ajar?

Mysterious door ajar light

OK, I just got this 07 Vibe new last week. But in the last few days, I've noticed something strange. I unlock the car remotely, open the driver door and get in, close the door. My door ajar light is on. I open the door i just used and close it again. Light is still on. I try all the doors (none of w...
