Oh Man, looks like you got one too. Apparently this is a bigger issue than they thought. I Cant have a car that gets wet. I pulled my cabin air filter today and it was soaked. If it grows mold and mildew, my sons asthma will go nuts. Also i am worried bout the floor rusting form the inside out. one person already lemon lawed their HHR over this. I see class action suit if they cant figure this out. I winder how many ones on the lots are wet? or got wet and detailed before sale?

My girlfriend just called me this morning on her way to work. Big puddle on passenger side floor. Has anyone determined what this problem is for sure? I really want to get this taken car of soon before it ruins the carpet.
Thanks,
Trevor

Well, it was raining here too and I just have a spot of water about 3 inches by 3 inches. I wonder if it is caused by the same thing as having the whole floor wet? Oh, well I am taking the car to the dealership this wednesday.

well with by count we have 10 members with this problem. That is a pretty decent amount in this snapshot of HHR owners. I am sure there are others out there having this issue. THe TSB said to rplace the heaterbox gasket. now i cant find that TSB. THere is now one that says it is water from the speaker gasket in the door? All i do know is it is on the passenger side, the cabin airfilter is wet, and fixing that gasket so far has not fixed the problem.

When I got back outside to my car the small spot turned to the entire passenger side floor being soaked with water. It only took three hours, It seems like it is worse when the car is sitting still. Now I am worried about the car being outside since I do not have a garage. I wonder if the dealership will replace the carpet, padding and the dash panel???

Someone on the Forum had their carpeting replaced by their dealer a few weeks ago, but I don't recall who it was. Maybe this thread might help

Well, the dealership discovered that the in cabin aire filter box had collapsed. I have to go back next week and they will replace the in cabin filter, the in cabin filter box and the in cabin air filter box seal. However they will not replace the carpeting or insulation, instead they will clean it and dry it out ...
