I took my 2010 HHR SS (manual, 4500 miles) in to the dealer to have some issues fixed under warranty. Headliner right behind the sun roof rattles on rough roads and the brembos make a high pitched squeal under light pressure. The tech took me for a little test drive and agreed with my concerns. The dealer even gave me a 2011 Malibu as a loner as the fixes will take about 4 to 5 hours. I am really happy with the service so far, but we'll see if the issues are fixed. This is not the dealer I bought the car from, but they did install my turbo upgrade and motor / trans mounts (zero issues with these so far).
Rest In Peace

Thanks for the info.
I have another 35 Sq. Ft. here already. So that will be were I start for now, the roof will be done later if I need to do it. Mainly the doors and the rear hatch for now will be done. And the rear spare tire area. I doubt i'd try to cover every inch of the interior. If I have to get more, i'll get more, but gonna go with what I have available for now. Seats come out real Easy and the interior panels are not much harder to get out. So I can always Add more later on.
I think 2-3 18"x32" sheets per door, that will leave at least 6 of them, plus the 35 sq. ft. for the rear hatch and spare tire area, maybe a little more depending on if the doors only use up 2-2-1/2 sheets per door. We shall see once it gets here and the friggin daily Rain stops.
I'm not looking for the loudest distorted bass like Kids seem to want, just want a decent sounding system with more sound Quality. Not looking to enter any type of audio contests either. Just for my own enjoyment and the satisfaction of a clean looking Custom built install I do Most of myself if not all of it.
I have been looking at ALOT of Custom installs and have a few ideas in mind so far. Been reading and saving a few how to's as well for making the fancy fiberglass built ins.
This is by No means a Pro setup, I just don't have that type of interest in that to spend the kinda cash needed for that stuff, just a Hopefully good sounding and pretty cool looking semi custom install once finished.
My body and fender days, and looking into how they build some on the custom fit and painted parts gives me a good head start as I did work in body shops for 12 years before switching Trades. So that will be a big help, plus I already have a fully machined woodworking shop setup in my garage, so that will help out alot as well.
Gonna take some trial and error and a fair amount of time to get this done, but it should be pretty sweet for what all I have planned out in my head and on paper.
And on topic, I am watching it Rain, AGAIN on my Panel in the driveway.

Went to run some errands, and the right front on Paddy looked low(really low). So I checked it and it was down 15lbs, so I aired it up and headed to the tire shop. They removed this little beauty from the center of the tread, no idea where I picked it up, but nothing that a plug/patch/remount and balance couldn't cure. At least I caught it before having to resort to that awful donut spare.
monkey dance is off topic but to stay there i just bombed around town picking up stuff for lunch at work today
