Knowing Customer Service, and they way they operate, she's probably a spy, making notes on who is doing what to their HHR'S, so they can deny any warranty claims. After all, who does she work for......GM of course. "Moon"
P.S. Bet she does'nt drive either a Balt, or a HHR.

A "Troll" and a "Spy", come on now, lower your paranoia levels here. Whether Michelle from Chevy drives and HHR or a Yugo doesn't matter one bit, Chevy is interested in what is going on here because its one of the most active single make/model forums around. They aren't spying on folks to void their warranties, and I think in more than a few cases her interest in an issue has led to help being received by the member in question.

I hardly doubt that it is one of the most active single make/model forums.....ive seen much more active ones and ive seen complete crap ones.....

what she/he whatever drives is irrelevent as i would not expect this "person" to even drive an hhr. and bet that if we were in here talking about having a tune and going in for warranty work and mentioned the dealer name that she/it would be making a phone call to that dealership.

i don't care if she works for chevy or budwieser, drives an hhr or a gallardo, she defines "troll"

and those of us with an SS know that if we bring it in because something is wrong with it.........9 times out of 10.........it won't get fixed....:....we've been there/done that

bart is one of the only ones i know who has a good dealership...they know about cars not how to read a scanner.

I'll check into this, maybe it was removed by the previous owner.

If all your oem heat sheilds are in place, you may want to try adding some sound barrier. Cuts road noise, Heat, and gives the HHR a much more Solid feel. This brand is like "Dynomat", a little less expensive though.

Takes some effort but well worth it, I did it mainly for my Audio install, to Up the interiors sound quality. It Works Well.

I just did my whole interior (95%) and it makes a Huge Difference.
My Doors are all done with it as well.

Excellent point A&P, Dynomat and other sound barriers like it also work very well as heat blockers.

I used the sill seal (same as the sound/heat) barrier in my T-bucket body. It works great with both sound/heat and helping my bucket doors open and close way better. I also installed insulation under all my door panel...

See post #110 in my build thread

Never did compare the price per sq/ft between them but the sill seal is easier to use at smaller widths.
