I had the same problem on my HHR. I tried all the humane things, peppermint, leaving the hood open-(they do not like light), glue traps that they pooped in and left, moving the car to different locations around the property-(they always found it). Eventually, I bought a rat trap, Boom! 1 rat, done. I thought it was a whole herd of them, but it was one rubber and plastic eating rat. You are correct about the soy in Japanese cars rubber and plastic components that attracts them, not sure why, but there it is. I have bird feeders that turn into rat feeders at night. Just a note. stuntgirl56
