What Did You Do To Your HHR Today?
Actually none of the HHR's came with an upper shelf, the secondary mounting locations are for using the load floor cover in the upper position, usually for security against prying eyes on non-Panel models.
A few of us have snagged additional load floor covers to use in the upper position, in addition to keeping the lower cover in place, as seen on my '07 known as Paddy.

If you do use your new upper shelf for cargo, make sure it's secured. Getting a tool and its case in the back of the head during a panic stop would be no fun at all.
And don't go overboard on the weight, the inner side panels are just plastic.

Sorry to hear that the docs still have you on a shelf Oldblue, but the snow is melting instead of falling, that's a good thing.
Paddy hit 82,000 miles on the nose just as I pulled him into the garage this afternoon, the HHR's will stay parked until next Monday. Time to bake pies tomorrow, and prepare to activate my alter ego on Thursday, Chef Mike is fixing to make an appearance.

*Not actually Chef Mike, just what my wife says I resemble in the kitchen.
