Mine has em. Shes a 2010. I feel like these should be in the "stupidest design flaws" thread. Now that I think of it, how careless of GM.

Are all HHRs like this or was mine manufactured with someone forgetting to put in inserts.

Hmm... I have a photo but just discovered that I need to be a premuim member to upload thephoto. Oh well you know what I mean by inside door handle well I am sure.

Thanks.

In my 07 LT it has a rubber insert with a tab to aid in lifting it out. In both the front and back. In my 010 SS its a thin black piece of plastic that fits flush in a frame. On the 07 cup holders its a rubber insert that fits into the bottom. On the 010 SS it has nothing in the bottom. ?????

I noticed this within a week of buying mine. Dealer told me what Snoopy said. They stopped installing them sometime during the 2009 model year.

My '09 SS has them.

Yay, I'm happy I found this thread! Now I know it wasn't just me

All four of my doors were missing the little rubber inserts on my 09 - I got the dealer to order some, and the ordered the wrong ones. Then they ordered another set, and I'm still not sure if those are the right ones or not?

I have light grey interior, and the inserts are black and don't fit very well....

Are they the correct ones? Anyone have a picture of what they should look like?

If they don't fit right, the sad part is that's probably the right ones.

Seriously. Those things weren't designed very well and just kind of sit there. Don't snap in place or anything. Gravity is the only thing keeping them there.

My 2007 LS has them and they are velcro'd in the previous first owner complained to the dealer and they did this for him, strange that is was suggested hear I would never have thought the dealer would have thought of this on their own!!
