We just picked up our HHR yesterday and we live on a dirt road so I was wondering are the spoilers good for anything other than appearance. Will it help keep dirt and snow from collecting on the rear hatch?

I wouldn't think so, The spoilers that can be put on the HHR would be purely for looks. Mud-flaps on the rear might help a little bit.

 

Good luck. I have a black one and something that I have noticed on the HHR is that rear hatch gets dirty really easy. The rest of the car will look great, but the back will be bad. I think this is hatches in generally as my ZX3 does the same thing just not as bad.

 

The rear hatch ALWAYS gets dirty.

Sorry, there's no better answer than that.

 

I have to agree with all. I added the spoiler to mine and the only benefit has been extra coolness!

 

 

damn the white looks immaculate! Almost not even real

my hatch (the bumper at least) gets trashed whenever it rains

 

I like using the rear window washer so I can have streaks in my dirt and salt.

 

I had a stock spoiler put on as I like the looks personally. It helps only a tiny bit. It is a "look thingie." But I likes it mucho!

 

Best option is a Roll Pan (rear fender) ... if you can find anyone that'll make one for you (PTeazer marketed them... but never produced)!!
