I like the itty bitty windshield, & dark tinted door windows.. If I could find the right visor, the windshield would be smaller looking yet,

That right visor is just a memory now, very hard to find one! They weren’t cheap new a decade ago, and most went attached to the HHR when sold or scrapped out. I’ve seen one in a pick a part here , but it was broken and part of it was missing, the wreck was a roll over.
I’ll keep looking!

I'm right there with you amigo, just can't find the right sun visor. I'm going to put 'limo tint' on the back windows (but with a twist, maybe). Also, I need to do something about the "wap, wap, wap" sound (no disrespect intended to my Italian friends.) when the sun roof is open at speed.

Plast ICKY interior? I love the utilitarian look and feel. Call me Mr. Tacky.

You’ll need to measure the sunroof and order the correct sized wind deflector for up there on the roof!



Check out WeatherTech , or leave the sunroof closed!

My crazy electric car is totally silent whether going 'head snapping' forward or reverse. I've had it for three years now and it is by far the best car I have ever owned in any category. I hadn't been to a no-service station for three years prior to purchasing my HHR. I have one of their BEV pickups on reservation. What is crazy is some BEV manufacturers are putting in a sound generating option that will make their electric car sound like a big block ICE vehicle under power with a worn out muffler. Nope, that's not my thang at my age, not even for my HHR.

Thanks, but that thang on the roof is not the look I am aiming for. I owned a Porsche once that had a sunroof. It had an interior wind deflector that you could manually tilt up to reduce wind noise at speed. It was only about 2 inches wide, but boy howdy did it work great. Maybe I'll engineer and fabricate something for RedRydr. In the meantime I will leave it closed other than the tilt option to exhaust cabin air which works well; no noise at all.

Smile Why HHR

I like something different from the norm and the HHR was it. I would have purchased an SS because of the engine but do not like the front bumper extended out so far. 3 HHRs so far, 2 wagons, and 1 panel.

Funny, I was thinking the same thing. I like the performance of an SS but I’d like the boy-racer look, especially the front, toned down. The stock HHR look is perfect in stock form IMO.
