Running boards soon to be a factory install.
Chevy is changing from a dealer installed option to factory production installation. I hear Chevy is having tons of repaint claims from drivers in snow areas where sand is used from HHR owners who don't have running boards. The back fenders get sandblasted. I suspect they are going to ship all cars to snowy areas with the boards already installed.

Yup. In Ontario, Canada where I live I have seen two 2007's on the lot and both had running boards. One of my local dealers also sent me a data sheet and quote on the 2007 and running boards are listed as 'standard equipment'.
The MSRP of the car only went up about $350 which is alot better than the $750 price tag the running boards have in Canada!!!

Excellent news from up north. Sounds like they will just stick em on everything in snow country and lower the price. I watched a dealer try to get a pair on, and it is not as simple of an operation as you might expect.

On a yahoo HHR group someone posted that their dealer could not order a 2007 2LT with both spoiler and running boards.
Anyone else hear anything like this?
Dealer told her it was one or the other. She chose the running boards.
