Default buzzing noise at 70mph

thinking it is loose plastic trim on drivers side above windshield, but seems to migrate to passenger side as well... thought maybe that side was antenna..... anybody seen this or dealt with this....

gets a little irritating, but if you turn the radio up it goes away

The rubber weather strip can make a rattle at specific speeds on some of the window trim pieces. Sounds kind of like popcorn.

Some have replaced the offending pieces and others have used 3M double sided adhesive to stop the rattle/slapping.

Yep, had this on my H3T and my H2. Plastic/rubber trim around windshield on both plus air cleaner cover on the H2.

Wow.... this is what I hear, that buzz, when I hit a certain speed. Sure enough, I go and look at the plastic around the passanger area and it does have a larger space than the driver side and does have a little play.
3M has a heavy duty double sided tape which is more like a plastic, more like a taffy consistency. I could get some at ACE Hardware and cut small pieces and push them on top of each other until I cannot put anymore there. Then press it down

maybe roll it up instead and push it in there.

Anyways - great thread

Got my H3 fixed under warranty, and the H2 fixed by the dealership when I bought it - replaced the plastic trim and re-glued the rubber seal. However, I've heard of other people just using black caulking to fill the air gap. You don't need anything structural, just need the gap gone one way or another. Maybe use the 3M tape as good as you can, then if that doesn't work just caulk the rest?
