yes, my foot slipped off the clutch in reverse and went into my neighbors truck, it was snowy out and i slipped. caved in my rear tailgate. don't want to do insurance. Where can i find a tailgate, preferably used. lowest i found was $388, new at gmpartsdirect. anyone know of salvage yards in southeast pa, just outside philly.

Check with http://www.PamsAuto.com

There was a post not too long ago about a salvage yard that had a lot of Vibe parts but it was in TX I think. I'll look and see if I can find that thread again. Edit: Looks like Bluecrush was responding the same time I was and it was his thread about the salvage yard I was looking for. http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=27068

You might also want to search local areas in Craigslist for parts. Here's a listing from near your area I found by typing 'Vibe parts': http://philadelphia.craigslist....html

I had the same experience on Christmas eve when I backed into a pickup's chrome rear bumper. The paint is untouched. But I'm unable to lock the lift gate and the lift glass at the same time. I guess the deformation on the door makes the lock sensor working improperly. I checked gmpartsdirect.com you mentioned, but the price I saw is $588 instead of $388.
