Hey everyone. I just picked up my 2006 HHR Spring Edition with 119,000 KMs today and LOVE IT... Just one thing. The little hatch on the dash seems to not open? any one else seen this. I test drove a different one a week ago and had the same thing.

 

Welcome to the site, you will have to replace the rubber rebounds that the lid rests on , these provide upward pressure to pop open the lid when you press the release button

 

. So can I pry up while pushing the the button to get it open

 

Yes. But try it gently - at your own risk of course.

 

OK. Thanks for your help

 

Welcome to the site. Here is the bumper gm part number that was mentioned above. 19180975

 

Get two!

 

I was able to fix it. turns out when the dealer was detailing it they knocked one out. It was sitting in the cubby when i got it open. Just put it back in and works 100%

 

Nice your first fix! On your new to you HHR! And it was free! Very cool!
