Is there anyone who makes rocker panel replacements for HHR’s

You'll have to be more specific, there were at least 3 different types of covers for the rocker panel.

The metal rocker panels, up hidden behind the running boards or SS side skirts, no , I haven’t found any suppliers.
No patch panels, no complete stampings .

You might try asking a body shop manager or insurance adjuster for sources. Maybe a State Farm agent, I think they still do their own adjusting.

Maybe try LKQ, they sell used and new repair parts.

Thanks for the help. I’m looking for metal replacements. Guess I’ll have to make my own or have some cut off a Southern or western HHR.

Which part are you calling a rocker panel. A or B ?

FYI. If it's B, those are bolt on I believe. A is a stick on "rock guard" that came on cars without running boards.

OP apparently got the information they need, and doesn't want to discuss it or elaborate.

Looks like we can close this thread.

B is plastic

I believe what he is asking about is the same issue I have. It's neither 'A' or 'B' in the picture. A lot of people are referring to the rocker panel trim (rock guard, running board, SS fascia) as the rocker panel.

The actual rocker panel is the metal body panel that these all attach to in one fashion or another. Those of us that deal with salted winter roads can get rot in these areas. I have a 2008 I am refurbishing, and the only body rot is the rocker panel. Unfortunately, I have run into the same issue with nobody manufacturing a repair panel for this.

The OEM outer rocker panel is actually part of the entire uniside panel. There are two internal pieces, but these are obviously different. I'm hoping to either check in with a body shop locally that has a lead, but alternatively, I'm going to have a local steel fabrication shop roll a couple of pieces for me to replace these areas.

If I happen to actually find a source, I will post it here.

I have had my body guy look and the rocker panel, the metal part behind the running boards, he can't find anywhere. The price for him to fab new ones is almost as much as the car is worth. I'm driving it until parts start falling off and then getting something else. Mine are rotted right out. It's a 2007, but it only has 151,000 kms on it.
