wind rattle over 70mph

If you own your H2 long enough you'll have those plastic windshield trim pieces buzzing. My second buzz came after a windshield replacement when they didn't use double tape on the side plastic windshield trim. My first buzz and rattle came with the factory windshield after two years and the Hummer dealership took off the side piece by the windshield and squirted mastic under it. Taking them off yourself is not an easy or quick job IMHO.

I don't understand when everyone says they are difficult to remove, I've removed mine on both sides twice before I just said screw it and rtv'd them.

To remove them I just unscrewed the 2 bolts which are easily accesible, pushed up on the trim piece and it came out in my hands, the hardest part was walking 5 feet to get the screwdriver

I first ran into this issue driving up north to Sedona, we litterally couldn't hear the radio going 85mph over the ratting....it was insanely loud!

I just last week finished wiring up all my roof lights and decided to pop the trim off again. I just used cheapo double sticky foam, the thin stuff so we'll see how it works in November when we head up there again.

As mentioned above to remove them open the doors, pull the weatherstripping off around the edge, its also connected at the very bottom of the trim piece. You have to grab the weatherstrip and pull it forward to get it off the tab. Remove the 2 screws and they come right off.

I had something similar that the dealer was not able to duplicate. I thought it was coming from the dash or upper windshield area. What I found was that on my crossbars, there was some velcro pads and one of them was hanging off and touching against the roof. For TWO years, that rattle DROVE ME NUTS. Took off the velcro and noise gone

Another old post on the rattle repair....with pictures You really don't have to remove the fake air intakes. There are also a bunch of solutions as to what to use versus the 3M two sided tape.

Good luck, Ed
