Hear it is without the lights


A week later with them


Then with the cross bows as well.

Wow, i thought it was just me that saw my H3 a little bigger since installing the crossbars:

<- before







I'm looking to get roof running and PIAA lights next and already got those Husky liners for front, mid and cargo area - those liners rock!

I just posted in another thread, but felt it was appropriate to repeat it here also. I had the marker lights added to my H3 and went through hell trying to get the wind noise and vibration stopped. Finally, after the GM fix kit did not work, they drilled another set of 6 holes and moved the lights back as far as they would go (AGAINST THE XM ANTENNA)! THAT FIXED IT!!! I have had it up to the rev limiter (99mph) on numerous occasions, in various directions and wind conditions, in clean air and behind 18 wheelers, and not a sound or irregularity. So I guess the answer is to make sure the lights are back against the XM antenna and you should be good to go! If they are not back that far, the wind coming off the windshield is subject to catching the leading edge of the light bar and causing the noise and vibration. The difference I'm referring to is only 3/8 inch, but that little bit seems to allow the wind to pass over the light bar without catching the leading edge of it. Have a great H3 day!

HAVE THE DEALER INSTALL THEM!!! Ours had the same noise problems and was fixed by the dealer, took them ALL day to get it done, but no problems now.

My dealer has never put a set on an H3. I can install it, however, I do not have any information on what color wire I can tap into for power. I figure it can be done by one of the tail lights.

Your dealer might not have done this install before but neither have you. I am sure you are more than capable of doing the install but I would still let them do it. If you do it and there are any leaking or wind noise issues they are on you, not a warranty issue. Even worse, if I recall correctly, a number of dealers were cracking windshields early on before they learned how best to do it.

Thanks for that bit of advise. Back to the drawing board on self instilation.
