The Window buttons have been moved to the door, is that just the SS or all 2008 models??

 

from the pics in the 2008 brochure it is only the SS

 

I think its the SS only. I had a 2008 rental car last week, and it was similar to my 2007 LT.

 

I would imagine that all of them would get that change. Having two different controls only raises the costs. Maybe a mid year change once the SS is underway.

But, we shall see.

 

This was another mod I was thinking of doing: Getting the SS window button set-up, and putting it in my HHR. I don't like the placement of the window buttons now, and even though I've had my car for almost a year now, I still reach for the door to roll the window down.

So I am going to find a way to get those window buttons in my car...

 

Doubt it will change any. The buttons on the SS were moved to make room for the shifter being moved a bit more forward. Unless the LS/LT gets the same center "console", the buttons will stay were they are at.

 

It would have been just as easy mounted the swithes on the new console. Time will only tell. Having two setups only increases costs.

 

Me too "better" I have already bought the switches and will do the mod over the winter with the new speakers etc...try to do all of the wiring changes at once...I guess I could wait to see if the SS switches become available through the dealer...

 

Yea Scaleguy... let us know how it turns out! It would probably be easiest to do it all at once, that way you don't have to pull the panels out more than once. It gets to be a PITA after a while

 

I certainly hope the window buttons are some day put on the door. I love everything about my HHR, but, the button placement. They don't light up at night, so I have to feel for them.
I think this is the one area they could have done better.
