Question "Made in Mexico" signs

I have a 2008 HHR and just discovered there are two "Made in Mexico" signs on the outside of the vehicle in plain sight, although very small. I know all HHR's are made in Mexico, but not sure if these signs are on all model years. I found them today while claying, waxing and detailing every square inch of the exterior.

Has anyone else seen these very small "Made in Mexico" signs and know where they are on the outside of the vehicle?

Most of us know that they're made in Mexico, but where are the signs? I have detailed my '08 SS more than a few times and have yet to find them in plain sight. The only indication that I found one was in the driver's door edge within but above the tire pressure specs (Mfg by General Motors De Mexico). Nothing in the other door jambs or under the hood.

Where else are they?

I'm with you. I've been over every square inch of mine with some sort of cleaning product and aside from the area mentioned above, I haven't seen one.

Clue

Here is a clue: the two signs are very tiny, one on each side, and visible from the outside of the vehicle with all doors closed and are along the beltline. I've cleaned the HHR many times and never noticed them until today. I guess the light was hitting them in just the right way and that is why I saw them today.

Ain't no easter egg hunt

I don't know if my HHR has the "Made in Mexico" signs or not. Let me know exactly where you found yours and I will look. After all, I am thinking you are the one who wanted to know if anyone else had them.

I know that on the back on the chiclets there is an up arrow so the the installer knows which way is up (in case they can't read English).
