I have lived here in Chicago my entire life. I would assume since you live in Miami they would know how to fix a leaky windshield, or leaky ANYTHING for that matter  That's like me saying I don't know how to shovel snow.

I have had this probelm 4 times going on 5, I still have to pick up my car from dealer. The first time it was making air noise through the windshield, then it was water leaking into the car from windshield. If anyone has had this problem let me know, Im trying for the lemon law but gm corp is not helping me out. Looking for a good lawyer.
Jackie,
I recently purchased a new H2 in the Miami area and intially had issues with what I thought was the windshield. No leaking, but a couple of vibration sounds.They are now resolved.
Leaking is a serious issue but should not take that long to repair. Something isn't right if you've had to wait 10 days.
What dealership are you dealing with?

In central Jersey the dealer has a water leak guy they bring in. So for leaking problems, you have to schedule an appointment well in advance. Otherwise, they could keep the vehicle for weeks until the Leak Man can make it.
I also have a leak in the front. Water comes out of the driver's side grab handle when I wash it or it rains. I thought it might be a marker lamp, or maybe the sun roof, but it still leaks after several attempts to fix it. Typical.

my leak came out the pass. side grab handle, but that's because it was running along the headliner, which is molded down into the molding along the pillar. simple way to find the leak is to pull the headliner loose and use some compressed air to blow on the seal. spray soapy solution behind the outer windshield molding and watch to see where bubbles form, that's your leak. to pull the headliner loose, you'll need to remove the grab handle, the two square inserts pull straight out, grab handle comes out, that's the only thing holding the pillar molding on. then put a small screwdriver into the tiny cutout on the visor pivot mount, push up the elbow for the visor and turn, while the screwdriver is there. that releases the tab and allows the elbow mount to come loose for the visor. then your headliner will be loose to the center console on the roof for the map lights. there are 2 screws holding that up, you can remove them, push the upper console box forward, there are 2 clips that hold it to the headliner. once that's loose, your headliner can come down a bit further. this will give you access to the inner seal of your windshield and allow you to get a compressed air source in to test the seal. sealing it on the outside is tough, since you'll need to clean it really well and the outer molding is pretty tough to get under, but it can be done. 4th time worked for me, better than taking it to the dealership.

Yes sir, 11 days. it took that long because they couldnt get the problem repaired. On the 4th day they called me and told me it would be ready later that day but I never got a call back, 10 days later we were told it was still being repaired because when they tested it there was another water leak. That would have technically made it 5 times in the dealer for the same thing all within my first month and 1/2 of owning it.

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?

I cant belive my eyes its really here !!!! only after 11 days in the dealer. To solve the problem I had the dealer install an tiny barbie umbrella over the area to keep it from leaking water into my car. Seriously I am very happy to have it back, but I still would like some really good insurance from the dealer so I dont have to worry about his happening again.
..It's mind boggling
