New A Pillar Trims Don't Match ????

The buzzing is from the molding ABOVE the windshield .. usually at the drivers side. I was told by the dealer that a bulletin came out on that one and they are now on order for replacement. Mine makes that buzz(more like shattering glass) at 65+ mph on the freeway. Most A pillar moldings are being replaced because of peeling. A bulletin had come out on that one, too. Mine began to peel (as well as for some of the other members here) ... like a snake molting its skin.

I think they replace mine with the old ones i have the same gap between them they surpose to be closer.

They won't fit flush up against the other rail or A pillar molding. I've checked out so many H3's on dealer's lots to see that they ALL have somewhat of a gap. One tech told me there needs to be a small (very small) gap for replacement and movement. (?) Also, if the roof rails touched right up against the A pillar molding, you wouldn't be able to see if there was a crack!

What are the dates of Manufacture for these problems.
ie, MM/YY

Problems that arise in the vehicles will give better timelines if the problem is followed by the MM/YY of manufacture.

for example, 09/05 or 01/06, etc.

Lex_Ordo, sorry, I didn't check back on this posting til now. I picked up my 2006 H3 on 8/05, so it's an early build. The exact build date is rubbed off on the inside door sticker. But from what I've read here and had heard from the Service Mgr, there was a bulletin put out about some 3's having their A pillar molding peeling. You'll know it when you see it. Hopefully they had put the new moldings on the later builds and '07's. The new one has a very smooth texture look. Hope this helped.
