Default vibration in dash or windshield

OK here is the problem. I have a 2006 H2 and since I have owned it, I have not driven it very fast or far. Recently I started taking trips in it and traveling alot on I95 up and down the east coast. What I found is that every time I reach speeds at and above 70, I experience severe vibrations on both sides of the truck. It feels that the vibs. are under the top of the dash. It is definitely an air and wind caused problem. The vibs. are worse on windy days and during gusts of wind.. I drove from Delaware to Georgia and thought I was going to go crazy listening to these vibs. I originally thought it was air coming in from the side louvers but now I really don't know. Thought I would run it on this site before taking it to a dealer. Any help would be appriciated.

Mine does the same thing, sounds like the dash is rattling right? From what I've heard that's just the case and can be solved with 3M double sided tape .. at least that's what one dealer did for another member .. I can't remember who on top of my head though ...

it's air getting between the windshield and thereveal moldings(windshield side moldings), easy fix. open the front doors, pull the front of the weather strip back from the reveal molding, there are 2 screws you remove and the reveal molding will pull off. clean the molding and the windshield and put some new double sided tape on the molding and reinstall.

Zyne, it does sound like the air is rattling something just under the surface of the dash.
I will try the tape on the moldings and see what happens. Thanks for the info. alpha4wd

Yep, that's what it is. I was the one who had the dealer do the 'fix' for my '06 H2. After they added the 3M automotive adhesive tape to the underside of thewindshield side trim, the noise never resurfaced. Your dealer should already be aware of the problem as it's somewhat inherent to many of the H2s...good luck. [sm=icon_cheers.gif]

I had the same problem and I solved it using some sort of glass adhesive stripping. It was basically a roll of the black sticky stuff that is used to seal/stick the windshield on. I think that you could even get the same results with some bath tub caulking. Easy fix that makes a big difference.
