Day 2 of owning the Vibe, I broke the passenger seat board while messing with the folding seats. I checked dealerships for a replacement board: Toyota $89, Pontiac $38.I ordered the board from Pontiac.Two days ago, I was showing my bro-in-law the dilemma and discoverd that the board was not broken--it was just the clip that pops into the board. So I went to the help center at the parts store and bought some clips for $2; they did not fit the stock retainers...so I called the dealer (Pontiac) to see if my board came in. It did, but guess what is not included...the clips!They told me I had to buy the board, so I did. I also had to buy a clip. $14 for that stinkin' thing that wasn't even the same as the OEM clip. It worked, though. It took 10 minutes to line it up and pop into place, but it worked. For $14 it better!Long story short...if your pass. side seat board is hanging off the seat, check the clips before ordering a $38 or $89 board.At least I have one to practice cutting on for a tv monitor
