I love my HHR. There is not too much I would ever change of the design (except have a few more cup holders both front and rear) BUT I have been noticing one little thing. Other cars that I have had, the mfg had put a pad or a molded foot rest for your left foot. I am wondering if anyone has found something aftermarket or from the dealer that could be installed so I don't wind up ruining my carpet with these lovely chicago winters. Any suggestions will be extreemly apprecated.

 

my 2006 2LT came with one, so it might have been an option

 

my car has a pad in the carpet for this. its rubber or plastic and blends real well with the carpet. deff sure this is from the factory. i could be imagining things. i will check in the am

 

My '06 2LT has one in the stock carpet too

 

I seem to remember somewhere on this forum reading, that those equipped with the manual transmission do not have a footpad

 

We have a winner!!

Correct, the manual ('06 at least) have no "dead pedal".

 

07 doesn't either. But the automatics do if I remember correctly.
