Any problems with front windshield? - Page 2

Nice Rig Jackie!!!

Well, I just picked-up our H2 from the dealer a little while ago. Monday night, I experienced driving our H2 on the freeway for the very first time and just couldn't believe the horrendous rattling noise which appeared to be coming from the windshield area. The dealer R&R'd both outside pillar post covers, added some 3M automotive adhesive, and voila...problem rectified.

RE: "The dealer R&R'd both outside pillar post covers, added some 3M automotive adhesive, and voila...problem rectified."

I have the exact same problem. Can you attempt to describe in more detail what the dealer did? Is the 3m adhesive a tape or a glue? Did he put the adhesive between the glass and the pilar cover in order to hold the cover down, or to absorb the vibration between the cover and the glass?

Any more information would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks

Been lurking for 2 1/2 years and this my first post. I thought the horrific wind noise was standard equipment thanks to the aerodynamics of the H2. Do you mean it's not supposed to sound that way? Seriously, I've always attributed it to the vertical windshield and the way the doors fit the body above the beltline. The wind noise in mine is bad at freeway speeds in warm weather and absolutely unbearable in the winter. I love my H2, but the noise is bothering me so much anymore I'm considering getting rid of it. Is this a problem or does everyone experience this?

Well, from what I was advised, the dealership removed the pillar post covers, added 3M automotive adhesive tape to the underside of each, and then re-affixed them back onto the pillars. BTW, after taking part in my dealer's 'Hummer Happening' this past weekend in Borrego Springs, CA (which included some pretty rough terrain, as well as a tight steep twisty rocky climb to an abandoned Calcite mine) the pillar covers remained properly adhered, as subsequent highway/freeway driving was still as quite as it was since the dealership rectifed the problem.

Xtreme, thanks for the response.

When it finally warms up enough around here to go out and take those pillar covers off, I'll give that a try, and if it works, I'll post a detailed "How To" on the procedure.
