The sunroof on my 2009 Hummer H3 leaks.

. I took it to the dealer and they said they all leak and that is why they have that tray with the drains. Is that true? I had a H3 2006 with a sunroof that didn't leak and my daughter has a Jetta with a sunroof that doesn't leak .

What they meant by "they all leak" is that the sunroof seals around the glass are not meant to keep water from getting down in the sunroof, and tray and drains are there to drain the water that does get down in there. The problem most likely exists with your drainage tubes. They can either be clogged, or in my case with my 06 H3, the tubes were somehow disconnected and I had to drop down the roof panel to reconnect one.

    The sunroof in my '06 H3 was leaking also. I changed my interior this summer and while doing it I was 4 drain tubes in each corner of the sunroof frame. I pulled each tube off and blew compressed air through it. It worked wonders...I have been through heavy rain and Hurricane Irene since doing that and I am still dry. If you don't have the tools to take your headliner down they are easy to find and relatively inexpensive. I hope this helps.

SOURCE: 2006 hummer h3 has a leak on passenger side under

My 06 was leaking during rain also. It turned out to be the sunroof. There are two drain tubes in the front of the sunroof that run the water down the corners to the ground and two drain tubes that drain water out the back corners. The water would seep around the glass, which is expected, but both of the tubes on the front of mine were plugged, and the water would overflow behind the dash and fill my floorboards. If my H3 was leaning to the left during a storm then the drivers side would be full of water. If leaning right, then the passenger side. I had to open sunroof and blow compressed air into the drain holes to clear them, but be careful, too much air will separate tubes from sunroof and then you will have to remove the inside paneling around sunroof to get to tubes and reconnect. You may only have one side plugged. you can test it by opening sunroof and pour a little water in the small catch pan in the front of the sunroof and see if it drains as expected (to the ground under the firewall on left AND right side). You can see the holes in each corner of catch pan to drain the water. Plug one with your finger, then the other to find the plugged side. Good luck!! Hope this helps!!

SOURCE: 2006 H3 Hummer AC/Heater Fan Motor

I brought my 2006 H3 in to the dealer for the same thing. My blower stopped working all together but it started as an intermittent problem. He said he had to replaced a diode or resistor either behind the switch on the dash that controls the fan or on the fan motor itself. Have not had a problem since but that was only about 4 months ago.

SOURCE: 2006 Hummer H3 fails to start periodically

If you look in the owner's manual it will explain this. Happened to me a bunch of times, really embarassing. It is an additional anti-theft device . If the computer senses that the key is inserted improperly, or that it is not a perfect match for the code it has in its memory for your key, it shuts of the gas supply to your engine for approx. 10 minutes to defer theft. Still happens to me intermittently. Now only very rarely. Total pain. I cleaned my key..carefully, with WD40 and after drying put just a touch of graphite on the key and started the beast a number of times. My dealer didn't read the manual either. You must wait the full ten minutes before trying to restart....otherwise it never totally resets and (the first time this happened to me) you can sit there and fight it forever.

I don't have my owner'smanual handy to refer you directly to the proper pages, but its in there under theft deterent. Hope this helps......and that Hummer can provide aneasy fix for this.

H3 Hummer leaking water into cab.

My 06 H3 was leaking when it rained. It turned out to be the sunroof. There are two drain tubes in thefront of the sunroof that run the water down the corners to the groundand two drain tubes that drain water out the back corners. The waterwould seep around the glass, which is expected, but both of the tubeson the front of mine were plugged, and the water would overflow behindthe dash and fill my floorboards. If my H3 was leaning to the leftduring a storm then the drivers side would be full of water. If leaningright, then the passenger side. I had to open sunroof and blowcompressed air into the drain holes to clear them, but be careful, toomuch pressure will separate tubes from sunroof and then you will have toremove the inside paneling around sunroof to get to tubes andreconnect. You may only have one side plugged. you can test it byopening sunroof and pour a little water in the small catch pan in thefront of the sunroof and see if it drains as expected (to the groundunder the firewall2_bing.gifon left AND right side). You can see the holes in each corner of catchpan to drain the water. Plug one with your finger, then the other tofind the plugged side. Good luck!! Hope this helps!!

2006 H3, leaking rain water in on back seatbelts

GM had a major problem with this issue as models with sunroofs had drain holes that were mfr'd too small. On models without sunroofs, the drains behind the pillars were too small creating the wet/mildewy/dampness issue. All mods were at the expense of the consumer. However if you know a good body and fender man, they can perform this mod for a fairly decent price with excellent results.

Water leaks in my 2006 hummerh3's right rear cargo area. My rear passengers seat belt gets wet and so does all around the cloth where the split seats are and also on the floor. I have taken it to hummer...

My 06 did this in the front and it was the drain tubes. If you paid to have it fixed, then they should look at it to see if one of the tubes came loose or maybe they didn't connect it properly. I am sure this is the problem (plugged or disconnected drain tubes) but I wouldn't want to pay for it every time it happens. make them fix it permanently!! Good luck with that!!

06 hummer sun roof drain hose is draining into passenger side floor board, hose has come loose in front panel

doesn't mean it came loose, it could be plugged. Mine did the same thing. I had to use compressed air into the hole in the catch pan of the sunroof and blow the tubes clean, but then had to remove paneling around sunroof to reconnect tubes after the air separated the tubes from the sunroof. It was no big deal, but took a little time.

Leaky H3

you need to check and see if there is any debris blocking the drain tubes for the sun roof. If not then you need to follow the tubes and look for kinks or other reasons why its not able to drain off quickly.
