OK, here's the problem. As you see in the picture (not my H3), the circled area shows where the roof moldings meet. They should be flush against each other, right? Well on mine, there is about a quarter inch or more space between the moldings on both the passenger and drivers side. Not only that, the trim/molding underneath where they are supposed to meet is severly cracked/damaged. Has anyone else noticed this problem? I have warranty service visit scheduled next week have it looked at. My guess is it has been @ 40 below zero the last 2 weeks and I have to slam the doors to close them (Bulletin #05-08-64-002A Door Latch Freezing In Cold Temperatures). Then again, the piece that's cracked doesn't appear to be impacted when slamming the doors, so I don't know! I just noticed it today at work so I cant get an actual picture until tonight. oh, and I don't have the marker lights, so is there supposed to be gap there? Eitherway, the underneath shouldnt be cracked open! Any thoughts or similar problems out there? 
thanks all

Mine are not flush, and if you have had Marker lights and or Roof racks installed, it could have just been put back together a little out of alignment. No biggy.
There is a fix, but it will take a little disassembly, are you wanting to do this? I can help.  |

As far as the gap it is what it is.But the cracked roof rail is a problem.It is an installation fopa.
They are working on how to install it so the rail will not crack.The parts are not avaible
untill a fix is found.

Mine has small gap I did bring it in at last service because right side wasnt clipped properly ,that fixed it also the left side had crack in roof plastic they ordered it and Im still waiting for it to come in.They are covering it under warranty no hassle.I will have them install new plastic at next oil change Ill have them look at the rear washerpump at that time that is on recall probobly get tires rotated and leave the truck for the day.Maybee they will give me a h2 loaner

Mine is at the dealer today and that is one of the things I pointed out to them. There is a gap and the piece is cracked underneath. They said warranty. Better be!
I am getting the DVD headrests and marker lights installed. Dealer screwed schedule up  so I won't get it back for a three days  . Gave me a Caddy to drive, so not too upset. Just not my Hummer though.

Our Poppy (as in California Poppy) has a gap in that location, which doesn't concern us but there is a small crack about 1/4" long on one side.
On aircraft we drill a small hole at the end of the crack to stop it from progressing and I am considering doing that to this crack. I wonder if that would prevent warrantee repair at a later time.
Best regards, Happy Jack

I had clapping wind noise from from the A Pilars coverings on top where they are overlapping the long plastic parts. Then I also noticed that there were cracks like you describe. My dealer confirmed the same as replied earlier. It is a warranty fix as soon as Hummer understands what the problem is and how to repair this.

Mine was cracked as well. I went to the dealer and found 5 more with the same problem. GM called me yesterday to ask how I like the H3 and they are aware of the assembly problem.

I'm not sure I'd drive your rig in that condition. Tow it to the dealer and see if you get out of it under a lemon law.
