Roof Noise

[Rickmasterson]

I have an H2 2005 SUV. I get a rumbling on the roof if I go faster than 75 MPH. Does anyone know of anything I can check out to see if something is loose. I had an 03 suv and I did not have this problem.

Thanks,

If you have the Hummer cross bars, make sure they are tight. I had to move mine so that they do not line up with the arrows and tightened them down. Problem was solved.

I think there is a fairing at the back edge that can vibrate if not fastened securely. Also, do you have a sunroof? I don't, but could it be coming from that?

we have had a couple that had tree imbs or pine cones trapped between the roof and the cross rails..just make sure there is no debri..

[Rickmasterson]

Thanks, i checked therail on the roof and they seem to be tight. i dont have a sunroof and no debrie on the roof. not sure what else to check.

I have the noise also, and from what I've been reading...everyone says it's the windshield. I didn't believe it because I thought I was 100% certain. After really listening again this weekend...it seems it probably is the windshield.

Check the weatherstrip across the top of the windshield. Mine was loose and vibrating horribly. I ripped it off with no apparent ill-effects (not that I suggest this behavior). :D

My middle running light was installed backward even though it looked right from a distance. One day I took it thru a car wash and it blew off just hanging by the wire. I Installed it correctly a the sound went away.

Is it the sunroof itself (when its closed that is)?

I have an 03 and when I'm at speed, I can see the sunroof physically moving from the wind (when closed) and it makes a hell of a racket.

weird I thought it was the sunroof right away, just take it to your dealer they are good with fixing things like that. The little things can be the most annoying.

Check the air dam in front of sun roof.I also had one of the square imitation air intakes rattle at high speed ,

I have the same noise on my 06. It sounds like to me the air dam in front of the sunroof. However I guess it could also be the imitation air intakes as well. I doubt the dealer would be able to diagnose the problem, seem too minute for them to concentrate on....Jamie

[Russell-h3-alpha]

he said he doesnt have a sunroof. thats whats weird. On our 07 h2 the air damn was pulling off and it was slapping around on the roof. But if he doesnt have the sunroof he doesnt have the air damn making this a lot more complicated.

On our 07 h2...
You mean daddy's H2? Good to see you back again Sparky as I had missed your valuable insights and dreams of Hummer ownership.

For the record, and despite the fact you allegedly went to kollege, it's actually an 'air dam' and not 'air damN' (Ricco and jmsspratlin even did you the courtesy of spelling it correctly but apparently you chose to ignore that). Entertaining as always my good man! :clapping:

And before you go getting your Underoos all up in a bunch little buckeroo, I actually hope you stick around...you're definitely amusing in an ants and magnifying glass kind of way.

Now back to the regularly scheduled program...

little man syndrome much? Go on the internet and try and pick fights, hope it makes you feel tough. Maybe it will replace the void you have between your legs. Yes i just graduated college, and yes its my fathers vehicle. Ive never tried to hide the fact that the hummers he has owned are his, although he is cool enough to let me drive them on a pretty regular basis. This board is to be helpful, you are consistantly not helpful at all. And by the way, yeah my post had a spelling mistake in it, I write this stuff up quick.... and Im getting back to you with out having to edit my post. Seriously Ive had enough of you man Its one thing to pick on me and mess up a post of mine. This guy is just trying to get help, all I have done is stayed on topic and tried to give this guy a hand. What have you done? acted your shoe size, Congrats!

Why must we argue? Just drop it and act like men or women (whatever the case) Who cares if its your dads Hummer. If you have insight, spit it out, some of us (including myself) know little about this machine and am only on here to find parts and learn about it. I know people joke, so take it as that and press on. It just feeds fuel to the fire when you think you're standing up to the person, when in actuality, just sticking to the matter at hand shows more manlyhood than backlashing. I know someone may blaze me for saying all this, but honestly....WGAF (who gives a .....). Jamie:violin:

No problem, hooked on phonics worked for me!!!!:perfect10s: :D

I had the exact same problem. I thoght for sure it was the sunroof wind guard. So I pulled it off cleaned it and then siliconed it down. That wasn't it. Then I thought for sure it was the front marker lights. Siliconed them. That wasn't it. Then someone on the boards told me what it was. It is the two vertical trim pieces on either side of the windshield they are not air tight. This time I wanted to be sure so I put duct tape down on it first then went for a drive and that was it! So I pulled them off with two screws in the doorjam, they pop right off then I siliconed them back down. Make sure you mask off the windshield first to avoid a mess. And the noise is gone.

Just regular silicone? I have the same problem. I thought it was the air dam as well, so I tightened it down and it still makes the sound at higher speeds. I'm glad you went through all the steps. Thanks for that...Jamie

[RichS]

Just black silicone. Some people have used 3m double stick tape, someone even mentioned using black electrical tape. But I applied the silicone without a problem. You can't even see it. Good luck!

I looked for the 2 screws in the door jam that you spoke of, however I must not be looking at the same thing. Could you give me a little more direction as to how you got them off? Thanks bro....Jamie

[Rickmasterson]

Thanks for all of the ideas. i will try them one at a time until I find it.

[RichS]

The two screws are underneath the rubber in the doorjam. Just pull back the rubber remove the screws and the trim pops off. Again, it is the two vertical trim pieces on either side of the windshield. I didn't see the screws at first either but once you look under the rubber you can't miis them.

Thanks a mil! Going outside to do that now!:excited: ....Jamie

That will fix the problem, lots of us had to do it on here. The black plastic peices rub on the windshield. If it's been doing it for a while, you will probably even see that it's dug into the glass.
