Just bought an H2 SUT - lots of questions

[Egan]

And of course, a picture of the SUT is required!

First objective: lose the steps and de-chrome the beastie.

Better pictures to come with a real camera and a thorough washing.

Here's what I am selling and replacing with the H2:

[HummerJim]

The roof rack keys should be available at any GM dealer and the top weatherstrip piece is also available from GM. I'd get the top weatherstrip from GM because aftermarket ones have a history of buzzing and making noise. I wouldn't be suprised if your side windshield peices need taping down with the elements getting to them from the top. Those pieces can get very noisy at highway speeds if not fastened properly. The folding mirror mechanism is expensive to replace and has a history of going out. If you can live with it, I recommend putting that at the bottom of your to do list. Congrats on your purchase, you'll love it!

i am hoping that you pulled a carfax on this....

it just seems to me that there are tell tale signs of front end collision...

headlights not mating up... windshield... molding has gaps....

im not sure on costs for the headlight(s).. ill let someone handle that.

keys for luggage rack... look at the end cap, and there should be a number scribed on it..like E005 or osmething like that... post it up here and someone might have the same # and could sell you some copies.. i did that and it only cost me $20 from a member here.

windshield... if the glass is good.. im sure the weather stripping is a very cheap fix from any auto glass company.

the pastic trim... someone here might be able to get you a part# or call GM for it... could try junk yards... i think that will be an odd ball that might be hard to locate. That piece looks like it will hold down the upper lights mounting plastic... ya that will create a ton of road noise till you get it fixed..

the locks for the storage area im sure you can find at a parts store easily.. i could be wrong tho

Carfax was indeed pulled.

Are the headlights adjustable? There is one hole in the front.

I haven't washed it yet, but here's a couple of pics after de-chrome stage 1 (steps and hub covers). The chrome gas door is off too, but I'm waiting for the proper surround to come from gmpartsdirect.

WELCOME!

Regarding the mirrors...your motors are more than likely seized up. Check this thread out: http://www.elcovaforums.com/forums/s...ght=mirror+fix. You've got to drill down a bit, but EasyEd posted pics to his fix and I posted a one page printable summary of his steps in the thread as well, also found here: ftp://www.guruerror.com/easy_eds_mir...et_edition.pdf

It looks like your windshield trim (aka MOLDING, Windshield Garnish & Reveal) will set you back about $42.63. Part number: 15857806

Nice SUT! Your front windshield was obviously replaced and they did a poor job of replacing the trim pieces. As someone already said, you'll have to stick them to the windshield or they will buzz loudly. Replacing windshields are common on the H2. I'm on my third. Because of the upright angle of the windshield it cracks easily when hit by gravel on the road.
The rails indicate it once had a tonneau cover - they don't come with that rail. The gap on the roof trim is puzzling. Looks like someone punched out your lock in the bed compartment. You can get a new lock from a parts store, however, I don't think that's a very expensive part from GM. Your tires have lots of tread and look brand new in the pictures!
