New Owner, And a Question

Hey everyone. I just picked up my 2006 HHR Spring Edition with 119,000 KMs today and LOVE IT... Just one thing. The little hatch on the dash seems to not open? any one else seen this. I test drove a different one a week ago and had the same thing.

Welcome to the site, you will have to replace the rubber rebounds that the lid rests on , these provide upward pressure to pop open the lid when you press the release button

Yes. But try it gently - at your own risk of course.

I was able to fix it. turns out when the dealer was detailing it they knocked one out. It was sitting in the cubby when i got it open. Just put it back in and works 100%
