Doubt you'll get a response.
A response is irrelevant since other people may come across this post as well and may find my answer useful.

I guess a GM dealership in Scotland would not carry many parts for a car that was never built right hand drive. If you buy Genuine GM parts on Ebay you are buying from a GM dealership.

Not ill informed.

WRONG! There are many independent sellers on eBay and Amazon that are not affiliated with dealerships. Since I own an HHR and drive on the left hand side of the road, the car itself is made in America. You personally are not only ill informed but you also jump to conclusions.

Foo24, first off welcome to the forum, I would like to see photos of your HHR.

Actually, Donbrew is not ill informed, a lot of the EBAY vendors in the USA for HHR parts are dealerships parts departments .
then again, your EBay UK , would be more of private vendors, selling possibly Genuine GM parts .

Please keep your keep your communication respectful, this site is here to help folks , thanks!

Well, technically, yes, they were "made" in America..... North America. Not in The United States of America.
They were "made" in Mexico.

Welcome Foo24! Nice way to start a civil conversation.

I don't recall saying anything about which side of the road anybody drives on. I did say that the HHR was never manufactured with the steering wheel on the right.
I don't know what faulty conclusion I jumped to.
Back when GM was shutting dealerships down the dealerships did sell off their parts inventory. So, I suppose there are warehouses full of NOS Genuine parts
But, that is no reason to say "don't consider a dealership for outdated body parts".
According to the Chevrolet.co.UK the nearest source of Genuine parts to Edinburgh, Scotland is outside of Manchester, England. That is a reason to say it.
In the US, there is a GM dealership within 50 miles of most people.
