I just did this swap on my '08 Panel a couple of weeks ago. Now I am wondering if anyone that has done this is doing anything different so that the rear seat passengers can shut the back doors easier from the inside? I have not yet had a chance to see what the wagons have on the inside of the back doors for this.

 

I thought of doing this to my panel, but then putting standard doors on the rear (essentially making it an A6 I think ?)
while a lot of people prefer the panel, myself included, the look of the deleted back window on a select few HHR is also pretty unique, plus, my biggest gripe with the panel is the sheer lack of ability to see without a backup camera....

 

There is no A6 code for the HHR.
AA5 is the rear window delete option. Here's a shot of my neighbors AA5 SS and my full windowed version.

 

 

Huh ?
I see the picture on my end. Maybe YOU need more coffee.......................

Seriously. If anyone else can't see my picture, let me know and I'll repost it.

 

 

sorry, the AA5 is what I was referring too, I always confuse it.
that looks pretty awesome. I almost got an HHR aa5 before getting the panel, called the people, set a time to come see it next day, called that eve to verify and it had already sold :/

 

Maybe a Panel is not for you. No different than a van, but the driver should be able to back up using the MIRRORS.

 

oh, I do, it isnt that I feel its impossible, just much more difficult than any other vehicle Ive driven due to how low it sits and the fact that no matter where I park, inevitably a full sized SUV or truck parks on either side... I swear they do it on purpose lol
I used to drive a work van, ford e250 panel, but because of how high it sat I never had any difficulties pulling out of parking spots.

 

Maybe you may wanna try adding 'spot' mirrors on your stock ones. They will give you a much wider view.,.You know those small round type stick on mirrors.

I like how low my Panel is, & I did lower the rear some more to level it out.
