I had the exact same thing on my 2001 S10 pickup. The problem with the S10 was the carpet didn't fit tight to the floorboard so as you stepped on the clutch the side of my shoe wore through the carpet. GM replaced it but the new carpet fit even worst and the dealer said that all of them were like that and it just wore through again.
GM has had this issue for years and hasn't figured out that they needed to do something about it.

well i finaly got around to taking my car in and the answer for the carpet was not good. they told me that gm would NOT replace the carpet because the wear was caused from my foot. the dealer told me they know the its a design flaw but it was my foot that made the wear mark on the carpet and its not the cars fault. im not sure what to do about it now. it seems so dumb. i guess ill try and take it up with gm directly now. i would be happy if they just came up with a fix for it, kinda like on the gas pedal side there is a rubber pad to protect the carpet, something they could stick over the wear spot on the clutch side would be nice. anyone else had any luck getting this issue resolved?

I bought a set of PREMIUM FLOOR MATS. They are much more substantial than the stock ones and I expect they will last a very long time.

Like I stated the Nifty Products Carpeted floor liners will solve this problem and few people will know they are even there since they are color matched and material matched.
They are better than floor matts and if you want you can still run matts on them like normal.
Picture is sample photo not HHR model.
THey will protect the carpet, cover the carpet if you already have a hole. They will not interfear with the pedals. Hand they make cleaning out the vehicle a breeze. Thew rubber liner on them will keep you floor dry if you deal with snow.
They make them for the front, rear and cargo for the HHR in all interior colors.
Pop these babys in and no more wear no more tear and still have stock carpeting. Problem solved.
