There’s a guy on the HHR Facebook pages who sells used ones pulled from yards for $50 on EBay.
I grabbed a used on at a yard for $2 and good thing, because mine tore about two weeks later. The used ones can be fragile. It didn’t tear, really; the adhesive holding the felt spiral let go. I’ll try to glue it after deciding on the best stuff. Maybe epoxy, maybe something else that will both flex and resist heat.
There are plastic aftermarket numbers but they are noisier - the fuzzy dampens the noise. If mine tore I would consider glue and high-temp to be a better option.
If mine tears again I’ll probably just lighten my wallet with the brand-new correct OEM part.
