Does anyone know if roof marker lights can be dealer installed? If they can does anyone know about wind noise or problems with them?

All roof marker lamps are installed by the dealer, whether it's on the MSRP sticker or added afterwards. There were problems with wind noise, but GM released a fix for them that corrected the problem.

The fix for the wind noise came out last fall. I had mine installed the second week of Feb. and am still having wind noise problems. I don't regret getting them for a minute though, they will get it right.

I had mine installed at the dealer, $625.00. They made the installation with the GM corrections and I do not have any wind/noise problems.

I just got my H3 two weeks ago and at 55-60 the noise is there. Also lost one of the caps that cover the screws this morning. Do like them though.
Does anyone know what the fix is.

Mine start between 70 and 80 depending on how windy it is out. The other day they were doing it at about 65. Your dealer may not have used the new install procedure. If am going to give my dealer another chance to fix them and if it is not right I have going to push to have them replaced.

Can anyone tell me if it's as loud as a jeep at 55+mph? Thinking of ordering them on my H3 and like the look but have no gauge on what "wind noise" is compared to my wind pusher!

It sounds sort of like a playing card in a bike spoke.

Kinda like repetitive resonance? Like in some newer cars when one window is open a little and it sounds like a helecoppter is flying overhead? Or by your discription a sharper slapping noise?

It is more like a sharper slapping or tapping noise and is very rapid. It is air getting under the marker lights and they are vibrating up and down hitting the roof just above the windshield. This is not something that is supposed to be happening so don't base your decision on it. I had originally put some door edge trim along the front edge of the light assembly before driving to NC as I recalled someone fixing it that way late last summer. Didn't work for me and they left it on there when they tried fixing it last time. I took it off Saturday and the noise is actually quieter now. It is still there and needs to be fixed but now you can actually carry on a conversation when it is doing it but you couldn't before.

Ok, so I couldn't take it any longer, hope there isn't any "H3less" out there. AKA H3wannabie, the other one!

What is pricing like on the marker lights? I really wish now that I would have had them installed when I got my H3 to blend the price in with th financing.. but they just look so darn good I really want one.

I think you can get them installed for around $650. I had mine worked into the deal and don't recall what the final price was.
