Hmmm..No pee detected. I took the truck for another ride today - armed with some info I gleemed from this site after reading posts last night for 2 hours. Everything seems fine with it. I pick it up tomorrow. I'll posts some pics (not like most of you haven't seen a H2 before) when I get it home.

One thing I did notice that they are going to check out was at about 70mph there was a slight 'plastic sounding' vibration/rattle right above my head from outside. It's either the amber light cover that's up there, or the wind deflector for the sunroof. Either way, they are going to check it and take care of it. Anyone here have an idea what that might be?

While driving 70mph, look around in the truck, that squeeking plastic sound could be coming from any one of the 10,000 plastic pieces in there. And if the sqeek isn't there now it will be sooner or later.

mine does the same thing its the wind deflector, it only happens once and a while.

Mike,the rattle is coming from the outside plastic peice on the A Pillar. It vibrates and rubs against the windshiel. Just need to put some insullation tape of a bead of silicon under it. Mine came from the passenger side.

Remeber to kick the tires.

my 03 did that above 80mph i always thought it was rubber around the windshield

Picked up the truck today, all seems well. Got it up to about 95 on the way home, and no rattles.

Thanks for all the help.

Here are a couple pics. Tomorrow the windows get tinted, so I'll take some more pics after it's done. I like it so far. Way different from my Expedition - going to take some getting used to.

How much did you pay for it, if you don't mind me asking?

Are you making fun of his dome?

I bought an 05 Adventure Series new from the dealer (see option list below). It's been 100% perfect. I don't think there any problems that are specific to the 05 model year.

I hope your luck is as good as mine has been.

I read your options...How do I find out if my second row seats recline?

[GeorgeSSSS]

The won't recline unless you buy special second row hardware that is made by a very nice fellow in Japan. His company makes reclining brackets for a number of U.S. cars -- -- Escalades, Tahoes, and H2s among them. I bought directly from him about a year ago, and that gave him the idea to sell in the U.S. I think his product is available on E-Bay for something like $500.

If you want to recline the left rear seat, you must relocate the jack [which is hidden behind the left rear seat] or leave the jack at home. For my use, the H2 is just me and my two boys. We only need to recline the right rear seat, so we got the lazy way out.

I think the reclining hardware is terrific and I would definitely get it again if I got another H2.
