Door locks
Just got a 2011 HHR. Went by an ATM machine, put the car in park, went to put the card in the machine and impaled myself on the door lock. Ouch! Got to looking at the chrome "studs" and wondered why. I guess it's a throwback to the early theme of the HHR. Next, wondered if it has happened to anyone else. Third, wondered how to fix it. Cut the "stud" off so that it's flush when locked? Change them out for aftermarket rubber ones (anything fit?). Build up scar tissue or throw the ATM card away. What a small problem to whine about. Anyone else impaled themselves on the lock?

I installed Dorman 75403 Anti-Theft Door Lock Knob Kit from Amazon.
The fit was great and in the locked postion the Knob lays flush with the door panel.

Nice to see (sorta) that others have stuck themselves with the lock. Maybe I'll see if I can make a lock that will be flush when locked. Did try the search function BUT have not had much success with it. Tried to search for oil leaks and got 500 hits just about all had nothing to do with oil leaks. At any rate, I'll post a picture of the new design or get used to upper arm punctures.
