Cabin air filter door latch broken!

Post by Kincaid »

I was replacing my cabin air filter last night on my 2009 and the latch for the door broke off. I know this was a problem in the G1 Vibes and I thought I'd heard at least one other person with a '09-10 Vibe do this.I have had the filter door off at least four times since I got the car and never had an issue. I was trying to put it back on and was not being harsh or fast or careless but I put the tab into the slot and was going to close it and it just snapped off.Anyone have this happen? Anyone try to get GM to fix it on a warranty repair? I can't believe how cheesy the piece was to break like that.
