This is why your Hummer Leaks In the Rain
#11
The one's I test drove on 2003 were $60k and they had one there at Dew Hummer in St Pete set up for a Buccaneer player that was well over 100K....
Anyway....
Just being sarcastic about the leak. Can you instruct us on the correct tire pressure? You were that kid with the glasses and bowtie in my 4th grade class always with his hand up first, right?

I was just going to post about this. I am getting wind noise from the front windshield. Both driver and passenger sides. As I drove it down the highway I reached out and I think I feel the plastic molding along the windshield rattling or vibrating. Like it could pinch my finger between the molding and the glass. Is this what you are talking about? How do I seal it? Should I remove the molding or just caulk under it from the outside? Thank You.

Found the window sticker for my wife's H2. MSRP $63000! In 2003. Hell, my 2014 Ram 3500 Limited 4x4 CTD MegaDually with everything except the sunroof & Limited chrome pkg was only $71145 MSRP when I ordered it in March, 2014 (I didn't pay nearly that much!).

open doors pull rubber down to expose 2 screws remove those screws, take plastic pillar off clean and use 3m calk, that stuff is worth its weight in gold.

This is why you hummer leaks in the rain
Shayne100, in your post, you stated:
"pull the windscreen column trip and clean out the accumulated leaves and mud and whatnot from the gap at the top . This slows the drainage of the rail channels allowing them to fill up with water to a level higher than the grommet letting water in . "
What exactly do you mean by "column trip"? I have a Limited Edition Victory Red H2 SUT (2005) that is more of a "collector" auto for me. I only have 40,000 miles on it and water has JUST started to leak into the center overhead console when it rains. When I drive it, the water drips out of the 2 map light switches and lights onto my dash.
I completely get and understand everything else in your post and the pictures did help. I used to be a certified diesel mechanic for Caterpillar, Mack Trucks and Freightliner, so I am pretty "mechanic" minded.
Would like to check this windscreen column trip you talk about.
Any info would be helpful.

Under that light has been the biggest pain of my life with the H2. After a snow when the truck would sit in the sun the snow would melt, follow that path, and refreeze in the door jam. I would come back to a frozen door almost every day. I even have water leaking through the grab handle bolts, by the looks of it it's all the same leak.
Shayne100, I'm assuming your upper door weatherstrip is installed and is in good working condition? GM part: 25868657. This is the weatherstrip that keeps water away from the door area and down the A-pillar properly.

Ah i missed that thanks dieseldrums i guess thats another design error i will have to investigate and remedy . If i didn't know better i'd swear i was driving an untested prototype seems the basic vehicle was built to be bullet proof and they then contracted a third world toy factory to to fit the the interior and trim
