What is that part ???

Post by FoxTv »

In the trunk, there was some kind of big black plastic part with 2 metal part on it and 2 blacks screw in a bag... The part number on it is :52121-01020-01030... I have no idea what it's for. I didn't find anything in the manual. It's long, but not wide and one side is concave.Anyone know what it is ? And what it's use for ?

I think it is the front plate holder, used by our neighboor in Ontario and in some states in US. It could be usefull if you want to put a front plate as "J'aime ma femme" on your Vibe

Yes, if you look closely at the front of the car you will see 2 small "dimples" is the front facia. This is where the 2 self-taping screws attach the bracket to the car. Then the plate attaches to the bracket with standard license plate screws. If you don't need a front plate in where you live, leave it off. Otherwise you will forever have 2 holes in the front of your Vibe.
