It's the other way around. Panel tool box doesn't fit a wagon because it's too wide. The arm rests on wagon door panels get in the way.

 

Exactly...

 

Ok, thanks

 

Great post! Where did you get the rear seats? Will a rear seat from any HHR fit in the HHR Panel? I just got an HHR Panel (2007 with 5,300 miles) and I want to get a rear seat installed.

 

It's a bolt in swap. Be sure to get EVERYTHING, the little filler storage boxes behind the seats, the hardware including the plastic covers for the nuts under the leading edge of the seat, seat belts, etc. You need to pull the rear interior panels to get the seat belts out, I grabbed the elastic belt retainers as well.

 

Mongo,
Since you mentioned the plastic cover for the front nuts,
How are they installed?
I picked one up from the auto salvage yard ,and for the like of me, cannot get it to snap and stay attached.
What am I missing?

 

The steel part that was under (or more correctly, on) the nut needs to be attached to the plastic and pushed over the nut. Of course, removing them often breaks the plastic tabs holding them together so a dab of epoxy may be needed to hold the metal part to the cover.

 

I'm becoming a minority of Panel owners that are still 2 seaters... The way I like it, & dark tinted windows..

 

I've never used the rear seats in my wagon... Go figure.

 

Still virgin new then...
