I've been lurking here for a couple of years and I finally pulled the plug. Put a deposit on a black 2009 HHR Panel with 101,000km, 65000 miles. Pick it up on Saturday morning. Paid $6200 for it.

The only problem I could find are the side doors don't seem to open well. When you push the button they pop out about quarter inch and stop.

Congrats on your new panel, I recently purchased a 2007 panel. I find that my rear doors don't open very far either. I am going to try to lube the door latches.

 

Cool beans . Congrats on your panel purchase!
Search rear doors on panel won't pop there are threads about this issue

 

Congrats on your new ride Restlessone!

Click on the thread link below, and scroll down to Post #20, there was a TSB on sluggish rear doors on the Panel HHR's.

Enjoy

 

I noticed when I went to get my 2008 1LT Shadow Edition, they had a 2LT Black Panel (wanted so much, but it was Auto and mine is 5sp) that when I popped the doors, they didn't open much.

 

congratz! ill keep an eye out for a black panel (jealous!!) on the streets of toronto, maybe we will pass eachother

 

Don't forget to wave

 

Congrats on getting the Panel !!!! Only way to go (imo).. I may be slightly biased tho.

Door popper dealio is usually an easy fix..
