Talking Ducking to see the traffic light

Hi Everyone! I Bought HHRvey new in January of '06, and this car is perfect for me. My hubby likes to drive my car occasionally, but due to the design of the windshield, he has to duck under the visor to see the traffic lights. (He's 6'4)

It seems like I recall other HHR owners mentioning this same problem early last year and I was wondering if the design of the windshield on the'07 and '08 HHR's were changed to address this problem? Thanks for the info...

The 07 design still requires some head maneuvering. I've had mine for a little over half a year and have just gotten used to it.

Light-n-Sight device

Your problem is quite common among taller owners, there is a solution.

There is no difference in the design of the body on the 06 and 07 models. The windshield, A-Pillars, roofline, and so forth are the same so there should be no difference in vision. I don't think Chevy will give the HHR a facelift for at least five years if they are still producing them at that time.

I'm 5'5" and don't have a sunroof. Sometimes even I have to duck a bit to see the lights.

The HHR Store will soon have these.....

They work so well in both our HHR's, I thought it would be a good product to carry. I'll post as soon as they come in.

Hey BB, does having the Light-n-Sight low like that interfere with your straight line sight?

I have the same problem in ALL the cars and trucks I drive. One of those light bending things would do wonders for my back and neck.
