I have those, but they cant see around corners. as mentioned, if no truck/suv is present, its no big deal, but honestly, Id say more than 85% of the time I get 1 or the other on both sides of me, unless I plan for it and park next to a divider.

I don't know any ride that can allow you to see around corners.. I always park near the dividers, & looking in my spot mirrors I can get the tires about 2 inches from contact w/divider, further away from idiots.
But I do this to try & keep idiots from dinging my ride in park lots.

I now get to park in wheelchair spots, very wide and only one car allowed at a time, that has cut down on the door dings!
I never could see around corners. With any car I drove. That’s why I’ve always either parked where I can drive straight ahead or Sweetie spots me when I have to back up in a blind spot situation

hence why I am considering a backup camera :)
I know what you mean, Ive already gotten a small ding from someone hitting the side with their door, after that, I try and park in a more isolated area :)

Blue- You know the deal. Good for you.

d0sitmatr- I think those back up cameras can be bought in kits, look on eBay. Nobody that cares for their ride likes door dings.

I did this swap out today. I was very thankfully for this article and pics. Only nominal tools required: 18mm (deepwell) nuts & bolts & a T30 torx somewhere it seems. I will have to go back and get the rear post mounted seat belt pieces soon. All the rest went in today. Very pleased.

Type of Seats

Are those seats from an HHR? If so, what year? If not, what model, make, etc...

Any year and model of the wagon HHR will go into the panel HHR . The rear door panels also need to be modified on the panel to fit the wagon seat.

I did not have to modify my rear doors.
