Wind noise on new H3

[H3.007]

I just noticed a high pitched whistle this morning at about 70 mph. I could only hear it with the window open. Is this the problem to which everyone was referring? I have the off-road lights, not the marker lights.

Thx!

Definitely not the same as the noise I am talking about with the marker lights. The noise I am talking about is loud enough that it can sometime be hard to even talk over.

I just picked up my new H3 today and we could hardly talk on the way home for the wind noise/virbration racket it was making at speeds over 60mph. My husband looked at it when we got home and said he thought a screw was stripped on the bar that the lights are mounted on. Should I call the dealer and ask for the "fix kit" or are they still on hold? These lights were already on the vehicle.

I would most definitely call the dealer. Mine were that bad at times but they were able to fix them.

Went to the dealer yesterday. They have a new fix kit that they say will definitely fix the problem. I've got an appointment for next week and will post the results.

What is the part number of the NEW fix kit? I too have that annoying hum/vibration from the marker lamps even after the initial fix kit was installed. Somewhere between 65 and 75 mph it manifests itself.

Just talked with my Dealer about installing the Roof Marker lights... And was told that GM has told dealers not to install or sell them. The fix that GM came out with is temporary and the are coming loose. phone call was 8/2/06

Hey guys, the dealer fix seemed to work. I don't know which fix kit they used, but no more vibration noise. They did, however, add a scratch to the black trim above the window.

Glad they finally fixed your problem! Regarding that scratch to your black trim .. they should be held responsible for it. Did you point it out to them? Even if you didn't notice until you got home, you can still call them, if it bothers you. Thanks for the update.
