rear door weather stripping

should i take this in to be replaced? its only like this on the passenger rear door. sometimes the door has to be slammed harder than the other 3 for it to shut completely, too.

the other rear door seems to be fine. there isnt any leaks, but i know its not supposed to stick out of the door jam that far.

this is the drivers rear door. it seems fine, except for the part closer to the top, look very close and u can see a little piece sticking out. should i have them replace that too? or is this normal?



this is the passenger side.




heres the inside of the passenger rear door. notice at the top it bulges out a little. ive tried moving it but it reverts back to the original position. the other rear door isnt like that.

yea i think i am.

also, the front passenger seat i just noticed has some frays in the cloth. not very deep/bad, but its a good sized section, about a 2" diameter area. ill snap a pic, but i think im going to make them put on a new seat cover, or a new seat together.

if it was used, it would be different, but i paid for a new car so im gonna be very picky lol.

Get everything fixed or replaced while you can.. That's what warranty is for.

took it by the dealer today, and every 2010 HHR on the lot, had the passenger rear door stripping just like mine. the drivers is fine. seems odd that it sticks out of the door jam, and only on the passenger side at that. i guess its normal? is everyone elses like this (refer to post 1 for pics of mine)

The bulge at the wheel arch is normal, mine has that. The strip at the top looks like it should be fixed though.

that's weird how that is normal around only the passenger wheel well arch. oh well

the buldge at the top was on their other 2010 HHR's as well, even a panel one i looked at if i recall.

i did get them to order the bottom part of the seat cover, since mine is freyed.

Tell that to my mom! She thinks I'm weird for being picky. I'm just trying to get all of the free parts I can while I can, before I have to pay for them!
