Just wondering, I am thinking of tinting windsheild strip and front windows.

Thanks,
I didnt like the wires either, plus I have an EZ Pass on the windshield. I put black vinyl cut to the proper shape on the outside glass, and then a very narrow graphic that does not block my view at all. I think it came out great, but I am biased

Gripes-
Lights under mirror not in useful place-should be by sunroof controls

Cup holders

Poorly designed brake/armrest. Would have preferred a center console for more storage.

Doorlocks should be in panal like most other cars

Antenna in middle of roof is HORRIBLE. Other Chevys have them in windshield

Wiring capacity has no room for mods-must run new line from battery to power horn, aftermarked radio, etc.

Stupid big passanger airbag light in middle of panal (waste of space for unimportant message)

Wimpy horn

Thick side pillars really cause blind spots unless you crane your neck at intersections (I have nearly hit pedastians several times)

Need more power outlets, and one in the rear cargo area. I don't have enough for my Roady2, Garmin i3 GPS, radar detector, and portable DVD player for my kids when we travel.

for me i just think the cabin light should have been where the driver can move the switch
or
make it where the cabin light comes on when you more the round column dash dimmer switch all the way to the right

windown switches higher or on the left door

rear window raise, lower or open out would have been cool

would love a 3.4 V6 with 210 hp as the primary engine. i think it would get as good or better mileage than the 2.2 or 2.4

I just tried this on my HHR, 5 spd also, and I can unlock the doors while the "e" brake is up.

Does anyone else have this problem?

I would of done something different with the rear hatch. I would of gave it that double door opening. It give it more of that old school look.
