Should I take it in?

Post by VforVIBE »

I was washing the Vibe when I noticed this...However I haven't noticed it happen again, should I take it in or will they tell me they can't reproduce the problem?

yep, mine fogs up too in the same place.........design flaw. I'm not going to bother taking it in if ougrizzly already did so and it did not solve the problem. thanks for posting that grizz.

That sucks guys and girls . I hope it doesn't cause bigger issues down the road. I have yet to experience this on either of our GTs.

Both headlights on mine fogged up in January while in Seattle, it rained constantly. One day after I got back the fog was gone and has not returned.

My headlights were fogged up in the picture I posted of getting my fog lamps, it was right after the car was washed. It went away though...
