Windshield Noise....getting worse.

[aslw]

Hello fellow 3-ers,

I know there have been many threads on this topic already....but does anyone know the definitive answer to the problem yet for windshield vibration/noise when doing speeds 70mph+?

I think I had my worst episode today when it happened again, but only this time my speed was 55mph with heavy crosswinds.

A pillars? Windshield molding? Roof rails? All of it? Why does my dealer service department act like I am the only one with this problem? I've only had my 06 H3 for 2 months now.

Please help this rookie 3-bie.

Thanks all!

Oh, and I also have the dash vibration at about 2000-2500 rpm that some others have mentioned.....Any input on this one would be greatly appreciated too. But I guess I am definitely more concerned about the rattling/exploding windshield sounds at speeds over 65/70mph right now.

i really dont know but my guess is maybe windshield wipers are loose, or coulb be the almost 90 degree windshield and the wind oassing right into causes the noise, but defintly get more opinions on it.

Well, I had water coming in our '06 right above the a-pillar. They took it in and replaced both sides top rail trim and a-pillar trim under warranty. The new parts are GREATLY improved and tighter fitting. There's also weather stripping that seals to the front windshield along the apillars. The noise has gone down considerably. Hasn't rained yet so I don't know if the water's stopped. As F5stop pointed out, I can't figure out why water would get past the other weather stripping just because of the cracked top trim, but it did. The much quieter H3 is just an added bonus!

mine can get pretty loud sometimes in a head wind

Do you have marker lights installed? If so you may need the kit to fix the noise. Could be it. Or have you ever had the windshield replaced?

Sounds like your roof rails need to be replaced. Have you tried another dealer? It might be worth your time and agravation.

Wow. I'm glad I'm not the only one with a dealer who thinks I'm crazy
My service man changed the A pillars and that seemed to get rid of the noise for about a week. It's back again and the service guy tells me this time- they don't know what else there is that they can fix to stop the noise. To me- it sounds like my windshield is going to fly off or explode. It's horrible. I've just decided that turning the radio up rather loud drowns out the noise and it seems that it's the only fix I can get. Good luck with yours. Let me know if you figure out what it is and what can be done to fix it. So far- I"ve had A pillars replaced twice and the roof rails once.
