#1341 of 1515 Re: how to install cross luggage rails on 2009 Equinox [retiredarmy] by meandmymaxx Apr 06, 2009 (6:29 pm)
Replying to: retiredarmy (Apr 05, 2009 1:00 pm) Assuming they are the same as the 08s. They are attached with a very stiff version of the plastic ribbed fasteners used on door and interior trim. Pry them straight up, start from the back, be careful not to scratch the paint. They are a bugger and you may need new fasteners when your done. If at all possible try and do it on as warm a day as you can, I find the more pliable the plastic the better it works. Good Luck

Replying to: markk60 (Apr 11, 2009 4:13 pm) By "jump" do you mean "jump start" or "boost"?   If so, this winter I did it 3 times and no problem with the steering or anything else.   By the way, the Equinox has an electric steering, no power steering in the Equinox.
#1345 of 1515 Speaker Size by rego500 Apr 29, 2009 (6:26 am)
Hey there everyone! I have an 05 Equinox that is a very basic model. I want to change out the factory speakers, because they are now blown. Each time that I go to a manufacturer's website, I get two different sizes for both the front and the rear speakers - 5 1/4" and 6 1/2". Which one is right? If i go with a 5 1/4" do I need to get a bracket? If I go with the 6 1/2" do I need to cut anything?

Replying to: john1965 (May 11, 2009 4:48 pm) Coopers are suprisingly good tires, I had them on my 05 Nox for about two years before I turned the car in and they ran well Replies to this message: laserblue (May 14, 2009 3:41 am)

Replying to: packer3 (May 13, 2009 3:58 pm) I agree, Cooper brand tires are very good, my winter tires on my 2005 Equinox were Coopers and they dug right in the snow with no problems but my size of tires are 235/60/16   But do they make tires in that size (235/60/17) ? When you go in the 17's and up sizes it's a bit harder to find than 15's and 16's   The four brands that I mention in my "reply post" do manufacture the requested size.
#1350 of 1515 Tires for 2008 Equinox by misty8 May 14, 2009 (6:13 am)
I just replaced my Bridgestone Dueler HT 235/60/17 original equipment tires on my 2005 AWD Equinox after 64,000 miles. They still had a decent amount of tread left on them. I ended up replacing them with Firestone Destination LE for $158 each. They were a bit more expensive than the Bridgestones but they are rated better in some surveys. I think they are much quieter. I just hope I can get the same treadwear. Replies to this message: packer3 (May 16, 2009 7:34 pm) powderkegg (May 16, 2009 9:15 pm)
