Are you leaving us, O6? SoCal might have closed up shop, but didn't hear anything about him leaving the site.:confused:

jus ordered my stubby locks, does anyone know if the stubby locks are hard to put on? are the instructions that come with them pretty detailed?

Very detailed. :D

SoCalHHR's Smooothie Lock Knob Installation Instructions

1. Remove old lock know using pliers (wrap jaws with tape to prevent damage).
2. Measure & cut lock rod so it is 5/16 above door sill when unlocked.
3. Shoot a glob of silicone seal into new lock knob.
4. Gently slide lock knob onto lock rod - do not push down!
5. With doors open and keys in your pocket - lock door.
6. Slowly push lock knob down until it is flush with door sill.
7. Repeat process for other door.
8. Leave to set overnight.

Now, enjoy hanging your arm out the window without pain!

Best if you take masking tape 1" measure 5/16" in a number of places, drawn a line.
Do not cut the tape, but hold behind the rod, to measure where the molding is, then tear a piece of tape off after you have wrapped around the rod, do this same for all locks that you are going to cut.
Now you have a line and do not have to measure any more, then cut.

Then really enjoy no bruises

No I am not leaving, I wa talking about Mike (Socal)

2 pr of stubby locks for me! sorry to see you go, i was just getting started. but from what i hear on these forums, your professionalism will carry you far no matter what you do.

HA i just got the last lower grill :nuts:

hopefully ill be able to get the intake, and gosh iwish there was more window visors :(

This works well.:thumb:

I'd also suggest before ya cut the rods, set the new knobs on the post. I did and found that the difference was large enough from the stocj that I didn't need to cut the rods. But this is personal preference and everyone is gonna like it their own way!:cool:

Another thought, I like the idea of them not being fluch, just in case you have to use the know to unlock the door. This way you have something to grab!;)

Ya beat me to it, dagnabit :( I just saw it and watched it this morning too. I was gonna ask da boss if I could get it too....

good luck with it!

Mike,
Just wanted you to know my recent order from you arrived in a very timely manner. I got the Stubby Antenna, door locks, and the HHR decal for the brake light. I forgot they were coming, was in the hospital for surgery and ....OMG..."HE'' found them:( I guess I forgot to tell him they were ordered.... I think allot of the time he just ignores me, or he has selective hearing. Now if I can just "Whine" :censored: loud enough ...He may put them on. He should..I am not allowed to drive again until May 14...One of you all could stop by and put them on...LOL

Ordered my stubby antenna. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

put me on the stubby list

OK, I'm not the most mechanically enclined person, so please help me with this. What exactly are you cutting the rod with? I think someone on here said "side cutters", but I have no clue what those are. Anything remotely close to a pair of dikes? Also, what type of silicone are you using? Just a regular tube of silicone that you would put in a caulk gun? I'm sure many of you are laughing at me by now, but I really don't want to mess this up.

I just ordered stubby door locks also. Jayhawker, I plan on using my dremel tool to cut mine. If you don't have one, then any type of wire cutters should do the trick. As far as the silicone, I would guess any would work as long as it is adhesive. Someone with more experince may have to correct me on that one. You don't have to use a silicone gun either. You can buy a smaller tube and squeeze it out that way, like toothpaste. Good luck! And don't tell my buddies I helped out a chickenhawk fan :lol: I'd never hear the end of that one.:D

Oh and jayhawker, tough loss tonight. Hawks didn't look like themselves with all the missed shots inside.

Thanks for the input Mizzou! Going to get on this first thing tomorrow morning. As for my boys....all I can say is they got outplayed. You can't win ball games when you play the way they did tonight.:mad: They just stunk it up.

Part I: Side cutter pliers are often referred to as "dykes" - so you're on the right track. In fact, I used dykes to cut mine when the very first set of Smoothies was installed. :thumb: If you prefer to use a Dremel tool, be SURE to place a large towel across the door to prevent hot shards from ruining your HHR's paint! :eek: (That's why I opted for the dykes!)

Part II: I recommend a small (4oz.) tube of silicone sealant available from most automotive repair stores. Look for a tube with a small "funnel type" tip. Cut the smallest portion off the tip and squeeze some silicone into the door lock knobs with it. Works a treat!~ :cool:

Enjoy!

Stubby antenna came yesterday and installed this morning. Haven't had a chance to check out reception yet. (Thanks again Karen)

Thanks Mike, you've (and everyone else) been a big help! Thanks again for the locks!!

:wtf:
Who are you people? Superman? Cutting these lock rods with a pair of dykes isn't as easy as I thought it would be....but the task has been accomplished!!:thumb:

I used a sawzall to cut mine, nothing like overkill to make a job easy!!

I use a bolt cutter, if I remember right I got it at Home Depot for about 14.00 a yr ago. One snip poof it was gone.

I just ordered what I think is the last set of stubby door locks..I don't even have an HHR yet but if I do go through with it I wanted these! :D

Thanks for the buy - and I don't mean to bum you out, but we just found 20 more sets sitting in a box tonight. So for anyone thinking they might like to put them on someday - you have one more chance! :lol:

After these 20 sets - they are gone for good! :(

Thanks to everyone for helping out with our liquidation! :bow:

cool, but for me the short/long locks were never a problem for me.... but i may get some... also thanks for the FAST shipping on my lower grill, i opened the box and damn that thing looks nice

hope maybe you can find some more vent visors heh :thumb:

thanks again !

Woot! Outlaw filter ordered ;) :thumb:

Dang, we're gonna miss your unmatched customer service :(

I still have my antenna, door locks, and third brake light decal....sittin'here ...waiting.... anyone want to come over and do mine?????

thanks mike, i just ordered a set of locks and an antenna, thanks again

is anyone having a hard time getting their parts? i bought and paid for 2 sets of stubby locks on the 22nd and still have no shipping info.

Just send Mike an eMail. My first order was lost somewhere and I just got my new ones in the mail today. I think I also ordered mine around the 22nd. I just sent an eMail and they sent another set out right away. They may have lost the orders for that day or something.

I got my locks 2 or 3 days after ordering from across the country :thumb:

I may place an order for the back locks now that he found some more :D No HHR but I'm buying the accessories just in case lol


Goose

I ordered stuff and got them within 3 days just like his store did, Please Email him.
That is not like Mike

I am guessing something happend to you order. I got my stuff fron his ebay in like 4 days and that included a Sunday.

since i posted that yesterday, the issue has been cleared up and mike is shipping it out priority to make up for the error. i feel much better now.

well i guess i got screwed with my order, first he say he has no record of my purchase then he says he does. this all took place on the 27th of march was told 4 to 6 days & i have sent him emails & not to be answered back & now it's been 12 days & no antenna yet..im going to report him to ebay & the police if not answered by tonight... does anyone know another email address to him...thanks

That does not sound like Mike!
He might have another company that does the shipping for him.
Computers go down at times, You might just want to pm and/or email him from this web ste.
The Police have better things to do, infact they will mostlikey tell you that you would need to contact, the internet Fraud Company.
Ebay tells you who to contact, and how.
I would first look at your recp from PayPal just to make sure all of the information is correct. And if it is, call them.
Again this does not sound like Mike, and I have been getting things from him for almost 1 yr. Including 3 items from eBay. No problems.

I just ordered the last 2 Outlaw Filters. Yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now I can really rotate them, and keep it clean.

WHAT! :confused: I have sent you 3 separate reply emails regarding this situation. Here's a copy of two:

Thats still good service. Most places make you wait weeks before they will offer a refund and off ebay if you didnt pay for insurance they wont refund at all.

Hopefully this weekend I will be placing another order with you Mike :thumb:

Thanks guys (& gals!); - sometimes it is just frustrating! :lol:

Hey Mike, if I belived all that is in print I would not have gotten the last 2 Outlaws.
Sure you won't just sell on eBay?
Don't really want to see you go.

Mike how are the CGS and Outlaw filters cleaned and /or reoiled?

Mike how are the CGS and Outlaw filters cleaned and /or reoiled?

Charles: Use any K&N Filtercharger kit, available at your local auto parts store. The CGS & Outlaw filters are good for 5-7000mi between cleanings. Users in dusty areas may need to clean/reoil more frequently.

Sure you won't just sell on eBay?
Don't really want to see you go.

I appreciate the sentiment Karen (and you have been a stellar customer!), but I need to move on from this now...other, more pressing things loom in the future. :thumb:

hope you dont mind i put a link on cobaltss.net to your mobil 1 c/f oil caps

Probably because you bashed a very reliable vendor. A few others had some minor problems with orders that Mike corrected ASAP. Nobody bashed him the way you did. He didn't deserve it then, and doesn't now.

What Click? We know that SoCal is an honest Vendor, and that things do happen.
Time is the only thing that really matters. How many times have you bought anything from eBay?
I have waited over 2 weeks before things have been shipped.
Mike has provided just about the same GREAT to ALL That have bought from him.
Again there is no CLICK, just honest people, that will wait for the good things that come.

Are you referring to post # 44?
it is Still there!

I'll address this when I get home this evening. locked until further review.

Look poop happens...Just be patient....My order was lost as well, I sent him an email and he got back to me the next day. He apologized and sent me another order. Great Vendor in my book. Oh yeah can I be in the CLICK?

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

That's business, sometimes you provide good customer service and you still get pooped on.
