The front door panels are the same, regular or panel HHRs. Just need to find the correct color and the one with the window switch slot(if your's has that)

My 2008 LT has the switches on the waterfall in the dash. Not just panels have them there.

2006-2008 have the same button config.

That was padding that retired. Pretty sure it is molded in.

Window switches were in the center dash on all early year HHR's. Not just the panels. They went to door panel switches in 09 (I think ?)
You just need to find an earlier production door panel that didn't have the window switch slot.
