Blind spot on the right side.

I've had this thing a year and every time I look to the right back area, the passenger seat headrest is right in the way. Folding it down was a pain as everyone usually throws something on the seat.

So I tried leaning it back and this is great. No all the way back but enough for clearance. Just never gave it any thought before other than it was aggravating.

I had many blind spot when I bought the HHR but with time behind the wheel they have all vanished.

You want a real blind spot drive a Fiero coupe with a wing and Indy Rear deck scoop.

I have lost Semi's in that car on the right side.

Take the headrest out, stick it in the trunk for when you have a passenger back there. Since the only one I have back there is my 18 month, I threw the head rests in the storage bin.

I haven't had headrests in my back seat for a long time now. Much better visibility!

I'm reading it the same as well.

It's never been a problem for me .......... I'm nearly looking out the backseat windows w/ how far back I have the driver's seat adjusted.

If the fronts are ther problem it is time to learn how to use a mirror.

If you remove the fronts then the A, B or C pillar will be in the way. Just need to adapt to the vehicle and not be to overly sensitive to the things around you.

If you can adaprt to the A pillar in a HHR you can adapt to anything.
