Hummer Modifies H3’s Interior (Slightly)
Filed under: Hummer News — Brian @ 7:29 pm [/align]

Perhaps the largest appearance and functional change for the Hummer H3 thus far is now available. Since the Hummer H3 was released, owners have complained about their elbows hitting the window controls, not being able to reach the controls as they were too far back, etc (See old placement below). Well – Hummer has heard you! They’ve changed the design of the interior door panel to move the switches from the base of the arm rest — up to what was previously only a handle. After sitting in the truck, the controls are much easier to reach and I doubt anyone will hit these accidentally as much as the old placement. This may not sound like big news to non-owners, but after spending a lot of time in an H3, this was a much needed change. The updated door panels are available on H3s that were built later than February 1st, 2007. We’re still researching the possibility of upgrading your old door panel…we’ll let you know when we find a solution.

Also of interest, were some pics of the new H2 interior that were "Leaked".

They have since been removed by the admin.

 

The last 2 H3's that came in to my dealershiphad the new door armrests on them. It is a very nice change and the placement is perfect. Steve

 

So Steve...Can the door panels be swapped out without any wiring harness changes?

 

Dennis I think it can be done. We had a 06 H3 in for a wire harness problem in the drivers door and we replaced the harness but the harness we got was to short to reach the switchs. I believe it was a 07 harness for the new style panels so the original 06 early 07 harness is longer so should work. I would think as long as the switchs are the same part number all you would need are new front door panels. I will be looking into this soon. Steve
