Ok, stupid question comes to mind here. Why would they have back doors and no rear seating?

 

The semi-panel would have the back seats

 

this seems to keep popping up in new threads.
It's been discussed before, it's not a special vehicle called semi-panel, I believe it's a new option called "Rear Window Delete." Prolly available on all HHR's that are special ordered (of course, not on the panel which is already filled in). Tell me if I'm wrong...

 

MOTRV8D ; you are right! RIVERRATT3; The rear doors on the panel are to load & unload from the side, to get to storage box, ect. It is a small work van/truck !!

 

Heck, even that left rear passenger window is blind as far as I'm concerned. I use well-adjusted mirrors, general awareness and a tossed glance over my left shoulder if in doubt! By the time I look out that back window, I'd be on the exit to nowhere!

 

Yea... The thing that gets me about the panels, though, is not that it has doors, but that it has handles on the inside where they regularly are, but no seats

 

Don't have to make two style of rear door panels

 

OK, I know this is old but you can do other things in the back of a panel besides sit! And you still have to get out........sometime!
