Expert Answers about Pontiac Vibe

  • The SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box - Roof Mount, part # SR7018, will fit on Thule square load bars, Yakima round crossbars and most factory bars, but you will want to measure the diameter of your factory cross bars on your 2007 Pontiac Vibe.

  • Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2003 Pontiac Vibe
  • 2 inch hitches are only used on larger vehicles like trucks and SUVs that have higher towing capacities. For your 2003 Pontiac Vibe you would have to go with a 1-1/4 inch hitch like the part # 24812 and a bike rack compatible with a Class I hitch like this. The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack part # S64670. This rack has a ton of positive reviews from our customers who have tried it. Check out the review video I...

  • Can 2005 Pontiac Vibe Be Flat Towed Behind Motorhome
  • I checked the online owner's manual for the 2005 Pontiac Vibe on the GM website and it shows that the front-wheel-drive with manual transaxle CAN be flat towed without need for a transmission lube pump and it can also be towed using a dolly like # RM-2050-1. However, the all-wheel-drive version cannot be flat towed, nor can it be towed with two wheels up on a tow dolly. The basic parts of a flat towing setup include the tow bar, lighting kit and braking system you mentioned, as well as...

  • Hitch and Ball Mount Compatibility on 2010 Pontiac Vibe
  • Your 2010 Pontiac Vibe can be fitted with either of two hitch classes, either a light-duty 1-1/4-inch Class I hitch or a higher-capacity Class II type (also 1-1/4-inch size) depending on the version of the Vibe you have. For reference the hitches we offer for your Vibe are linked at right. It sounds like you have a Class I hitch and a non-compatible Class II ball mount. Some Class I hitches have a stop inside the tube to prevent use of ball mounts that are not rated Class I. We do not...

  • Weight Distribution System Recommendation for a Trailer with 540 lbs of Tongue Weight
  • When using a weight distribution system on a trailer the weight on the axles will stay the same. The tongue weight of the trailer will be distributed from being basically all on the rear axle of the tow vehicle to being also on the front axle of the tow vehicle. Weight distribution systems are recommended when the trailer of the vehicle weighs more than 50 percent of the tow vehicle. The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of...

  • How To Install The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness On A 2005 Pontiac Vibe
  • The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # 118458 does not replace any of the connectors on the vehicle rather T's into them. There are two connectors that you will be connecting to on the back of the taillight housing. One is a 3 prong and one is a 2 prong. You will need to be sure you are attaching the correct pigtail from the harness to the connector on the tail light. For example, 3 prong from vehicle to 3 prong from wiring harness etc. We have a video...

  • Trailer Wiring Recommendation for a 2003 Pontiac Vibe Towing a Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer
  • The Curt Wiring Harness part # 55057 that you referenced is the correct wiring harness for your 2003 Pontiac Vibe. This unit should do very well to power and operate the taillights of a Yakima Rack and Roll trailer like part # Y08107. The trailer will pull about 9 amps total, whereas the # 55057 is good for 6 amps per circuit. Which is more than enough.

  • Availability of Roof Rack Crossbars To Carry Kayaks on 2006 Pontiac Vibe With Factory Side Rails
  • The Malone SteelTop Roof Rack, part # MPG201, is a correct fit for your 2006 Pontiac Vibe with the factory installed raised side rails. To carry two 45-lb kayaks on the roof of your Pontiac Vibe you will want to first check the weight capacity of the roof on your vehicle. If it is lower than the 165 lb weight capacity of the Malone rack then you will need to go by the lower weight capacity as your guideline. I have done some research and cannot verify the weight capacity of the roof...

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2010 Pontiac Vibe GT
  • I checked with Saris and the Bones 3 Carrier part # SA801BL has been confirmed as a fit for your 2010 Pontiac Vibe. However, for a rack that would work better with the spoiler of your GT you would want the Hollywood Rack Over the Top part # HRF2. This rack is specifically designed to fit over spoilers like what you have. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Swagman Easy-Out Women's and Alternative...

  • Will Solera 12V Power RV Awning Conversion Kit Easily Replace Dometic Kit on RV
  • If you have a Dometic setup on your RV currently then the Solera 12V Power RV Awning Conversion Kit # LC434724 you are interested in will fit and work well as a replacement. This was designed to easily replace Dometic setups like yours. While your awning seemingly doesn't attach to any bracing there is bracing behind it where this will attach easily. I attached a review video for this for you to check out as well.

  • Troubleshooting 4-Way Trailer Wiring on 32003 Pontiac Vibe
  • With the voltages being at 0 going into the unit, it sounds like there is either a bad fuse for those functions or the module has gone bad. If you check the wires going into the module with a circuit tester like # PTW2993 and get function, but don't get function on the output side, then that will confirm the module is bad. Since it has worked so well for so long, I recommend the replacement of the same Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 55057....

  • Hitch and T-Connector Wiring Recommendation for a 2004 Pontiac Vibe
  • The Draw-Tite trailer hitch that will fit your 2004 Pontiac Vibe is # 24812. The T-one Flat Trailer Wiring for your vehicle is the Tow Ready # 118458. If you need a ball, I recommend either the Tow Ready # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch or # 19258 for a 2 inch ball. I have attached brief installation videos as well as installation instructions for both products. The video is on a 2005 Vibe.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2008 Pontiac Vibe for Transporting Bikes
  • There are indeed a few trailer hitches available that are confirmed to fit your 2008 Pontiac Vibe. Since you do not have the GT model, I recommend going with the Curt Class II Round Tube Receiver Hitch # C12234. This Class II hitch is custom-fit for your vehicle and will use existing holes in the Vibe's frame for a no-drill installation. It will provide a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening and has a 200 pound tongue weight capacity. It features a sleek, round tube design and has a gloss black...

  • Will the SportRack Vista Roof Cargo Box Fit a 2004 Pontiac Vibe with Factory Roof Rack
  • The SportRack Vista cargo box # SR7018 will fit on crossbars that are no wider than 4 inches and on a center to center crossbar spread of 23-5/8 inches to 34 inches. You will need to measure your crossbars to determine if it will fit based on the measurements I have provided here. Depending on where the antenna is placed on the roof and how high it sticks up, it may or may not be in the way. The box is 63 inches long and based on images I have seen of the vehicle the antenna is at the...

  • What is Needed to Flat Tow a 2007 Pontiac Vibe Behind an RV
  • To tow your 2007 Pontiac Vibe behind your RV, you will first need to install a base plate kit. For your vehicle, you will need the Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit, # 3130-1. Base plate kits are vehicle specific and this one is made to fit your Vibe. I have included a video that shows a base plate kit being installed to give you a general idea of what it entails. Next you will attach a tow bar. The RoadMaster Tracker, # RM-020, is designed to be compatible with the XL series of base plates....

  • Will the Inno Feet for Square Crossbars Fit My 2009 Pontiac Vibe?
  • I have a solution for you. Unfortunately, the Inno Feet for Square Crossbars # INXP will not fit your naked roof with fixed mounting points on your 2009 Pontiac Vibe. Although, I did confirm with Rhino-Rack that they do have crossbars that are compatible with your vehicle's rails. For the Rhino-Rack setup, you will need: - Inno Square Crossbars - Steel - Black - 42" Long - Qty 2 # INB107 - Inno Feet for Square Crossbars - Naked Roofs - Black - Qty 4 # INSUT - Custom Fit Kit for Inno XS200,...

  • Transmission Cooler Recommendations for 2005 Pontiac Vibe
  • A transmission cooler is not a vehicle-specific item, it can be installed on just about any vehicle that has an automatic transmission. The best and most efficient place to install a cooler is directly behind the vehicle grille, in front of the radiator and A/C condenser. You'll want to choose the largest cooler that will fit in the space available. The cooler will tap into the return line from the radiator to the transmission, as shown in the help articles I've linked to. If you have...
