Windshield Noise....getting worse.

[deserth3]

Sounds like your roof rails need to be replaced. Have you tried another dealer? It might be worth your time and agravation.

[Hmmm2]

I had sent you a pm regarding mine. My A pillar mouldings were just replaced again a couple of days ago. The dealer told me that the Hummer rep insists that is the problem... having them glued down tight. Evidently my dealer has had several H3's in with the same problem. I haven't tested it yet on the freeway. I'll let you know if the shattering sound is gone in a couple of days.

I was having the same problem no roof lights lots of noise at freeway speeds. Took it in to dealer Sherman Oaks Hummer. They replaced both front pillers and top rails. No more problems... They took care of me with no problems also gave me an 07 as a loaner..

Will keep all informed. Thanks again.

Sherman Oaks (Casa Hummer) = good guys. Thumbs up to Tim (Service Mgr). He knows his stuff.

ASLW, I took my 3 onto the freeway this afternoon to test the new A pillars. I drove up to 72mph .. no windshield shattering sound. I had had the A pillars replaces once before for a peeling problem, but maybe they didn't glue them down enough. I had only one roof rail replaced in the past .. the driver side (for a crack). No winds here today, so I don't know if this will hold true on a day with crosswinds .. but, so far, so good. I was beginning to hear it at 55mph. The service writer had told me the fix was gluing the A pillars down very well. Hope she's right! I'll let you know if I begin hearing it again at any point.

Hmmm3, thanks for the reply....Sounds pretty promising with your 3....I dropped off my 3 this morning with a print out of all the info I have found from your windshield noise experience and several others.

They apologized half heartedly for not believing and said they'd look into it.....The service guy says that he "thinks" he might have heard about this problem before with only a few 3's.....what an understatement.

Right away they noticed the cracked roof rail on the right side and said that it must be the roof rail....however my windshield noise is upper left....no where near the cracked right rail....i just feel like they don't listen.

I told them about the hummer field rep talking about glueing the A pillar and then he just laughed and shook his head saying, "no no no, that can't be it".

I was in a hurry so I felt I had no choice but to just leave them my keys and be on my way to work....but in retrospect, i regret doing that. I feel like i left my baby with a blind and deaf baby sitter. I hope i get her back in one piece.

Wish me luck!
