Hummer rattling noise - Pulling my hair out!

[passerby]

2003 H2
I have a rattling noise that I just cannot find and I wonder if anyone had the same thing.

It is just outside the windshield in the right most corner (at least that is where it sounds like it is coming from)

It only happens above 50 mph or so or very windy. It sounds like a flag whipping against the window. I have siliconed everything that moves, put in weather strip on the outside but cannot make it go away.

It is so loud but I cannot re-create standing still. Short of riding on the hood on the freeway http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif, I am not sure where this noise is really coming from.

Just wanted to know if anyone else had this problem and fixed it.

Yep. I used the "Find" tab above and typed in "windshield noise" and "noise" to locate a few of threads that should help you.

That's only a few, but your problem is surely the same as their's and will be repaired the same. Hope that helps and welcome to the forum.

BTW, post some pics soon.

Thank you for that information. Wonderful! Time for a trip to the dealer.

Pictures will go up soon. Next 2 weekends are slated for Hummer upgrades.

I had a rattle that was driving me nuts. When the dash was taken apart, it turned out to be a little platic fuse box cover that wasn't snapped closed, so it just kept flapping.

The box was from an aftermarket automatic starter. Took it out and perfect silence.

It's a shot in the dark, but thought i'd throw it out there.

Thank you. I am pulling off the dash as well as every now and then there is some sort of creaking going on everytime I hit a bump.

Thanks for the advise.
