FYI.. i did this yesterday on my 09 vibe, and was able to do it without removing any panels. All i needed to do was pop out the rear access panel. It was a little tight to get the bolts tightened when putting the new light in, but not too bad. On another note, the inside plastics on the dash and doo...

Got a big crack and hole in the Passenger side rear tail light. Just the outer clear plastic is damaged, but it looks like the entire tail light assembly needs to be replaced.
Anyone have a cheap new or used source for this? or happen to have one for sale?

thanks guys

Hi Guys, 2009 Vibe owner here.. base model I ran over a blown out tire on the highway, and it tore up the front underside plastic area pretty good. The bottom grille is gone, and what I think is the water pump plastic cover was jarred loose, along with a bunch of plastic rivets which hold the bumper...

Our 2009 vibe is only about 15 months old, and I just noticed today that the silver paint on the inside of driver side door panel is cracking and peeling off. This is along the upper middle of the door above the armrest, which does not even get touched or leaned on at all when driving.Would this be ...

I already got a small chip in the hood from a rock on the highway, dam dump trucks!!! anyway, it looks like it will be a while before the new 09 touch up paint will be available from the dealers, as none of my local Pontiac dealers are even able to order my paint code of ...20U WA-603R (Liquid Plati...

Yup, i have had my '09 for over a month, and if there was one negative I could say about the car is that the gas mileage is not as good as i expected it to be.I don't have any numbers, and haven't done any serious calculations, but just by eyeing the fuel gauge, and comparing it with my Rogue, it se...

the amount of physical glass has shrunk, but I am not so sure the visible viewing area has shrunk at all.

wow, if they liked the 08 Vibe so much, the 09 would of gotten A++++ ratings because the only knock on the 08 in this article were the safety features.. which are all now standard on the 09

yea, for being plastic they actually look pretty good. and they match the color of the car perfectly.Going to take some pics of the engine today, so look out for those later!you guys wanna see anything else?

i didn't black anything out on the radio, its like taking a picture of a computer screen.. it couldn't capture the digital image correctly and yea, its a 1.8L not 2.4I do have a question though for previous Vibe owners.. were the dashboard speedometer, and gauges completely backlit like they are in ...

Ok, i just got home from the dealer with the first sold 2009 Vibe in Florida!! At least thats what the dealer told me. Here are the first pics i took. Please feel free to ask me any questions!

zdaliah

they also had a black GT there...Yea, got the optional AC, lol... and the upgraded stereo. basically everything i was looking for.I also didn't know it comes standard with a 115v power inverter, so i can plug in a laptop or houshold AC wall outlet plugs.. very coolI will have some pics up tomorrow!!

zdaliah

the first one in my area i have been told. Could of drove it home tonight, but needed to bring back my trade in.Its Silver Platinum, Preferred Package, AutomaticI'll post some pics as soon as i pick it up!

We were just able to place an order for a base model automatic trans with preferred package like 2 weeks ago.Our local dealer said they were only accepting orders for the manual, and GT models up until now.But they also said they have had an order in for a GT since day 1 and they still have no confi...

man, now that is very sneaky!!We held off on getting a 2008 Vibe because the 2009 Vibe was priced cheaper with more standard safety equipment options.. sly marketing by GM i have to say. that sux, but your still getting more for the money with a 2009 Vibe i think. but there most likely will not be a...

thanks for all the responses guys..Yea, we are going to wait.. as the 2009 Vibe just seems like you are getting a better car for the money.With a new 6 month old, and all the new safety features being standard now on the 2009 just makes the decision easier.I like the look of the 2009 also.They would...

Well, I "think" we are getting it close to invoice price at $18700 with all the options and tax included but with the new and improved 2009 only a couple months away for about the same price, what is the incentive to buy the 2008 anymore, unless you get an amazing deal maybe.I am wondering...
