Hi guys,We just got our new 09 navy blue Vibe...base 1.8 AT.Really happy with the purchase so far.I'm also very happy i found this site.I'm sure i'll find lots of questions answered and also helpful tips.One question(maybe it's been answered before).I know the Matrix and Vibe are very similar,butare they similar enough to use the same vent visors?I found some for the Matrix but none for the Vibe.ThanksRichardHalifax,NS

Good question... Not sure on the 09's.. I could tell you NO on the 03-08's... I would assume NO, since the body design, although similar is not the same.

Thanks for the answer.I guess i don't have to worry about it now since i just found some on ebay.Richard

No problem! Glad you could find the actual ones for the Vibe!

All years have the same door frames, difference is only on the door skin

wow... that I did not know! thanks Chuck!I swear the 09's look different... maybe it's just the swoop of the roof line.

they actually have vent visors on ebay...http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ZWDVWa member on here bought a set of those but the front ones near the side mirrors don't cover enough.

That's good to know.Even the dealers(both pontiac and Toyota) didn't know.Richard

Welcome! I have checked out the new vibe and the new matrix but never paid attention to that. Well chuck is da man here. lol

Just to clarify, 09 Vibe and Matrix door frames are the same, as well as 03 to 08 Vibe and Matrix, But 03 to 08 are not the same as 09 as far as I can tell.

I wish they'd make Ventvisors that don't look so uber tacky.I think I'll skip them on this vehicle.

hey welcome to the family.post some picsmechanically the vibe and matrix are the same car. but exteriors are obviously different. i'd think the matrix visors won't fit the new vibe
