Hello all fellow VIBER's...I love my Lava Vibe and am very satisfied with my car after 38,000 miles...Well I am not smart enough to trick my VIBE out or MOD it..but as a working artist for several theaters here in HOUSTON TEXAS, I carry a bunch of stuff from here to there...So I decided to purchase the OFFICIAL GM part trunk bin...Well the dealer had it for about 200.00 I was like RIghtttt??? So I saw it on E-bay for 60 bucks..bid and won..and to make a long story short IT SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!! It definatly is not like GM describes it..It is really small and flimsy falls apart if you bump it and was just a great dissapointment..Ok there I got it of my chest...I am currently in the process of getting the cargo mat whiich I have seen and I think will be fine..I was just writing to warn anyone else ...just buy a plastic box for 5 bucks and put it back there...Unfortunatly I have 20 pounds of USELESS plastic in the back of my VIBE...Well I guess its not that bad....Ok Just comment if you all want..But I still think VIBE'S RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BYE!

I bought my mat at the dealer - it was $70. Then later I saw it on an internet parts place for $49. Check around with GOOGLE.

See my mat,i bought it for less then 10$,i thing it was 7 or 8$ at Réno.And it was almost the same mesure of the place,little bit bigger,that's good enough to protect the corner,i didn't need to cut to put.And the reliable storage i bought for 5$ at Canadian tire,and the net for 15$.The attach 4for1$ with different size from 1$ dollars shop.Sometime if you count at yourself you can save lot of money. Feeling of saving money priceless.

tatooine, was the cargo box that you bought a real GM cargo box or is someone making cheap knockoffs?

I have one of the cargo boxes. It is pretty durable and holds everything I put in it really well. I'm thinkin yours is a diefferent brand maybe? Anyways, I don't use mine anymore.

My gf bought the same exact cargo box for her Explorer. I noticed after she bought it that it looked identical to the one Pontiac sells for the Vibe.Got it at Bed, Bath, & Beyond for $40 heh.She seems to like it.

No it is definatly GM and right in the front center it says GM It is durable but just not worth 180.00 of course I did not pay that much but still...I am just a little dissapointed with it..Oh well live and learn thanks for the feedback...RS
