I will apologize in advance is this post in inappropriate, but I just spotted this item on ebay.

It's a "2008 chevrolet hhr panel cross box tool box" and I've read posts where some of you that have non-panel rarely use the seats and this might be a good find. My experience is that you don't see these for sale very often.

To find it use the title as your search criteria.

 

So If I take out my rear seats that tool box will drop right in?

 

Looks like the offering that the panel comes with in stock form. This is the image from the link on Ebay

 

Agreed, that appears to be the stock Panel box.

 

You will need to remove those tiny bins behind your back seat too.

For a step-by step w/pics, here's a Very good thread about 'adding a back seat in a panel'.

And FWIW: The tool bins under the lids are not as deep as one may think... Seems Chevy thought 5" to 6 " deep was enough.. I imagine Chevy didn't want too much weight stowed away..
I am considering modifying my bins to be considerably deeper..

Here's the link to the ebay box: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...SS:MOTORS:1123
& You sure don't often see them on eBay, as OP mentioned.

 

yep , looks like someone took it out to put aeat in a panel

 

I agree with sleeper, the bins are too shallow to store anything large and you have to line them with a towel or you hear everything rattling around. I took mine out after about three months and replaced with a rear seat and storage compartment.

 

That auction never recieved any bids.I think it was because it was pickup only.The seller wouln't ship

 

I do intend to deepen my storage bins. When ? is another story..

Won't be difficult to do.. Once opened I'll know how much deeper, etc..

From what I've seen, I don't think 12" deep (min) is out of the question..

And actually there is a LOT of dead space under them..So actually they could even be bigger than the hatch doors..
Then line them with carpeting, or thick rubber.
