Re: Wind noise on new H3
I think mine finally developed this problem. There is a gusting wind sound coming from the curved portion of the door and frame at the front upper left (higher speeds only or in cross winds). I believe it is a door seal or trim problem (perhaps both). How does one remove the external A-pillar trim plate (hood to roof) to check things out and apply 3M tape if necessary?
Thx,
C

pull back the door seal and take the screw out on the A-post cover

Re: Wind noise on new H3
Is this happening to anyone with a straight roof? (no marker lights, no offroad lights, no sunroof) Ive got an 07 and I'm not sure if they have fixed this yes, I want to have marker lights installed but not if they are having all these problems.

Re: Wind noise on new H3
Easiest fix for the marker light or off road lamp package is remove the lights and where the inserts are in the roof hit them with A punch and hammer(dont damage the insert) so the insert sits lower(yes, bend the roof tin) reinstall and now you have A much tighter fit.

Re: Wind noise on new H3
Never had any issues with the windnoise on my H3, i got it right after the marker lights were on recall for the wind and somtehing else, and i was one of the first to get them dealer installed with the fix kit, and they did an awsome job, no windnoise at all.

Re: Wind noise on new H3
I never had any wind noise on my H3 till a week ago. Speedy Auto Glass replaced the windshield. They didn't install the A pillar covers properly. So I took it back and this time the jackasses used windsheild sealant to fill in the gap between the cover and the windsheild. Looks like I'll be taking it back and talking with a manager on Monday.

Re: Wind noise on new H3
I went through all of that hassle with wind noise that had sounded like shattering glass at higher speeds when I had my H3. The dealer had told me it was wind getting under the A pillars and reluctantly replaced them (even though one had a crack in it). That wasn't the fix, obviously. But after talking to one tech soon before I traded in the 3 for the 2 .. he told me it was actually wind getting trapped under the top molding above the windshield. The wind, at higher speeds, would go through where the A pillar touches the top windshield molding. He said the only thing that would stop that would be to wedge in foam. It's hollow under there and once you hit a certain speed it sounds like a calliope.  I basically got fed up with going back and forth to the dealer and having them look at me like I was crazy. So, I lived with it until I finally traded it in. Now I have a rattle in the dashboard.

Tha glass place that I recently used for a repair told me that they will not perform any windshield replacement on an H3, unless it's done at the dealer. They will work, in conjunction with the dealer but they will not do it by themselves. The repair/install guy said it's a real PITA to do and sometimes the customer ends up with noise issues.
