2009 manual base fwd Vibe parking brake cable
Posted: Tue Dec 09, 2025 3:29 pm
Hi all, new to the forum.
I've looked at some threads on here talking about parking brake cables, and I just want to be really sure before I buy anything. I love in Ontario Canada so I need ship-to-store to a large retailer or fast cheap delivery.
As in the title I have a 2009 base model, manual fwd Vibe with the 1.8 litre engine. The parking brake cable connects to the rear passenger-side (right) wheel's brake
My mechanic is telling me that Napa, Benson, and CarQuest can't supply the cable I need. I am seeing 2009 Matrix cables on Napa, but it says they're not compatible with a Vibe. I'm also having trouble clarifying the specs for the cable to match other cables on the market that might be compatible. Some sites say 77 in and some say 65 which is a huge difference.
(Link to Napa product for 09 Matrix: https://www.napacanada.com/en/p/NUP97347)
Can anyone tell me what to get and where to get it? Best part, best price, best and fastest shipping etc. or give me the specs to search more efficiently. My mechanic will be installing it, not me so it can't be a McGuyver situation.
I will be forever grateful for any help!
