Vibe is falling apart =[

Post by Kevzaz »

I lost both of these pieces on my vibe. =/ I have no idea where the cap for my room rack when.. And the window strip on the door was loose for a while. That door was replaced. I'm sure the roof rack will be easy to replace, but where can I find a new window strip and how do I put it on?

That's odd that both pieces would have fallen off at the same time It sounds suspicious to where maybe somebody STOLE them for their Vibe. Lets hope that this is not the case. Good luck on finding the parts though

Did you drive through a safari park with monkeys? I think the part that goes on your door is called the belt molding. Please select a corresponding number from the illustration below to view the details of that part.1) Belt molding Right2) Front Front Right3) Rear Rear Right4) Applique Right5) Black Black Right6) Lower molding Right7) W/o deluxe trim W/o deluxe trim Right8) Tape RightDescription Year MSRP Price Your PriceBelt molding Right 03-07$293.77$180.25 Belt molding Left 03-07$286.46$175.77

Don't know if it's the same as the Matrix part, but here is the pdf with all the Matrix parts: http://www.genvibe.com/images/...g.pdf Then, if you go to page 1183 on the pdf, you'll see the part # listed as:Mldg, Outer Belt 75720-01030.Now if you'll excuse me, it's time to watch the rest of the BYU-SDSU basketball game.

Thats a little ridiculous (175 for a piece of plastic) I can probably go to the junk yard and find one. I just need to know how to remove it and put it back onto my door. But yes, its the belt molding. Thanks!

Probably came off when you used the rear window and rolled it up.

My mom messed up these parts when she forced the windows open when they were frozen.

I would definitely get replacements from a junkyard. I've always had good luck at junkyards for my vibe.

Scraping snow & Ice vigorously off the windows to where you loosen the trim & clips and then all of a sudden one day..... it's gone Nothing surprises me anymore when it comes to price gouging for auto parts That is totally insane and uncalled for. Hello junkyards & ebay
