Hello, all.
First, just wanted to thank all the members here for the help they unwittingly provided in my recent vehicle search. I have lurked for months, doing research for my purchase. First I wanted an H3, then fell in love with an H2 but didn''t think I could afford one. When gas prices rose Hummer prices seemed to fall accordingly, and I was able to find a used 03 H2 in Omaha in great shape, about 60k on the clock, and the price was just what the doctor ordered. Took the plunge and bought it! So far it''s amazing! Gas mileage is the same or slightly better than my old Suburban, I love the way it drives, the seats are absolutely the most comfortable I have ever sat in, and well, its a Hummer!
I''ll post some pics as soon as it stops raining, hailing and blowing. Also as soon as I get it de-blinged a bit. The guy I bought it from put every chrome accessory known to man on it, and I want to go all black! Will be posting some stuff to sell/trade in hopes of making it look the way I want. Anyway, just wanted to say hello, and thanks! You guys were a great help (and didn''t even know it)
Chris

Hi Chris. Congratulations on the H2. My old 2003 H2 was the best driving, riding SUV I ever had. You are really going to love the H2. Welcome to the forum.

Thanks for the warm welcome, nice indeed. Now for my first question...How do you take the roof rails off? It can''t be as easy as it looks, right? I have one of the factory-wired light rails I want to get rid of (wont fit in garage or bank drive-up) along with all the chrome accessories. Do I just turn the knobs and lift? Thanks again...
Chris

Never took mine off but if I remeber you turn the knobs to loosen them, slid the rail mounts back to the slots at the rear and they lift out. It has been awhile since I messed with an H2 but I think that is right. If not someone will take great delight in correcting me. I also think someone else asked this question not to long ago. You might try the search feature and see if you can find that thread.

you unscrew the knobs and you can also lift back the rubber and unscrew two other screws and lift them off in stead of slidding them backwards... I changed my stainless ones for Black..
