HHR panel rear door question

Hello all.

My name is John. Im hopefully about to buy a 2007 HHR LS panel version. I have a question for you all. Does the LS model come with remote rear door popper on the fob? The salesperson said that the fob was lost when they got the car in, so im curious. Ive scoured the web but cant find any definitive answers. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks everyone!

Hey John,
I have an '07 and No that year did not have the rear door on fob, i think it started with the '08s.
Panels Rule!

As I recall, the rear poppers are on a different receiver than the RCDLR. It will not be all that easy, even if I'm wrong about that part the RCDLR will need a software/firmware update and programming.

I had a tsb done to mine for sticky rear doors when it was new. They still stick a little. The best thing I have found is to lube the weather strips for the door with spray silicone. It helps some.

Here is a link to the tsb that was done to mine but I don't think it applies to your 2010.

You can use the search box at the top of the page to find more to read about others with sticking panel doors.

rear door popers

I pulled of the weather seals off and tweaked the pinch welds with a piece of 2x4 and a hammer and don't get crazy with it doesn't take much and they pop just rite and I also keep the hinges oiled up too
