damnit!!!!!!!!!

 

I have always thought rear wipers were a good idea, but the HHR only goes half way. Plus, with it's verticle rear window, it never really gets too dirty or rained on.l

 

i dont know what kind of rain you have been driving in or if it is the fact that you might have running boards and mud flaps, but i know that last night we got hit pretty hard with a storm, and i never turned off the rear wiper because it was that bad. i have noticed that even if the roads are wet the back window gets pretty wet, it gets so wet that you cant even see out of it.

 

that is what my face looked like when i pulled out the birth sheet to see it read 1095 at 2 ohms rms. i got a healthy alpine amp, most of the other owners have been getting 1010 - 1065 at 2 ohms, a few had some that read 1105 at 2 ohms. it must have been a good day at alpine when they made my amp.

 

Me thinks there is more to it than this but I can't for the life of me find a complete answer on this site. My question: after you pop the pins, then what?

 

Just took mine off. Pop the two hold pins then I started from the top and worked my way down. Have someone hold the door open for you and take your time. A nice quick sharp pull and everything starts to pop out.

 

Welcome to the forum and good advice

 

I removed mine to change the lift gate handle. Those two pins are like the old fashion dzeus fastenerson a race car or aircraft. turn them one half turn counter clock wise and pull them out. The instructions that came with the handle made it easy but did not mention the pins which sheared very easily. Once you have the pins out look for any exsposed screws ( I am at work and have neither the instructions or the car here and winging it) then it should just pop off like any door panal. Just pry under the panal all the way around and pop out the push in fasteners. except for the pins it was pretty straigh forward. If you are planning on removing the handle you have to remove the wiper motor screws and let it hang there while you remove the handles. It sounds more compicated than it is.

 

Thanks for welcome. I just picked mine up yesterday and already tearing into it. My impression of the HHR so far.....LOVE IT!
