to the forums!

Yeah, it's kinda hard to miss. It's under the hood, with an icon of a Windshield being sprayed.

It is in the Owners Manual. This is from the 2010 edition.

Where is rear washer reservoir?

GM provides an illustration of the rear system but does not show where the reservoir is, and a short tube from the spray nozzle.

Spray nozzle is at top of rear window.

Not in the small openings you open to change taillight bulbs.

There are electronic modules above the right opening somewhere, and something with fins just ahead of the left opening.

This new-to-me HHR panel version squirts soapy water, I need to ensure it has fluid that won't freeze.

I find the owner's guide inadequate in many aspects.
I have a 2009 model.

Actually, there is a suggestion it uses the reservoir under the engine hood.

Via tubing under the floor, left side, judging by another GM diagram I've seen.

Are you asking questions ? Or just stating some maybes.
FYI. There is only 1 reservoir(in the engine compartment )for the front and back squirters.
It has 1 washer pump. It is a reversible pump that will pump to the front or back depending on which washer button you push.

Thankyou.

I am accustomed to my Grand Caravan that has a separate tank in the rear corner pillar, fill cap evident with tailgate up.

The pump on the reservoir reverses to squirt the rear window.
