My leak was coming from the "C" piller on the passanger side. I han not nitice that the rear floor mat was also wet under it. I will pick mine up today. They removed the passanger front seat and headliner and other panels. when I pick it up I will have them shoe me where the water was coming in from so I can relay the info on to other HHR owners. Mine never got that bad, but it doesn't really rain in southern Calif. I hope they give you new carpet.

The water was coming in from under the p/s rear door body weatherstrip. When you open the door the weatherstrip is on the body at the top of the opening. They snap into holes in the body, so they sealed the hole.

No leaks here, and I've had mine since Sept. But, man, that is terrible 
. You would think that they could find a leak that bad. Definately take it back in! I will send good thoughts your way that they will find THE leak this time.

Mine hasn't been out in the rain yet so I don't know about any leaks. Many years ago one of my friends had a keak that would puddle in his RF floorboard. after many trips into the dealership and the replacement of seals, holes pluged in the floorboard and tons of other crap they finally found an area where two parts come together in the cowl area where the factory didn't seal it properly. It was supposed to be sealed with RTV but it looked like the robot must have run out or something cause it was only partially sealed. It took them a long time to locate it because it would only leak during rain, but would never leak no matter how much water we dumped on the car with or without pressure. very odd. Good luck with your leak.

Mine did this a few weeks ago, but I couldnt nail down the source, nor reproduce it. Even when washing, no issues. Mine seemed to be a leak in the firewall area, but until it reappears, not much that can be done.
