BACK WINDOW REVEAL MOLDING APPEARANCE (NEW PART/PROC.)

SUBJECT: BACK WINDOW REVEAL MOULDING APPEARANCE (NEW PART AND PROCEDURE)

VEHICLES AFFECTED: 1991 "C" MODELS -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

CONDITION:

---------- Some owners of 1991 Park Avenue or Ultra models may comment on a poor appearing back glass moulding. The moulding may appear short at the lower ends or may stick up in the upper corners.

CORRECTION:

----------- 1. Obtain the rear window moulding kit, part number #12509185. This kit contains both the upper and lower mouldings and the proper adhesive.

2. Remove the upper moulding and assure the retainer channel is clean and dry. Apply a light bead of the adhesive provided in one inch lengths in the locations shown on Figure 1. Apply only enough adhesive to assure proper retention.

3. Install the new upper moulding by installing the corners first and then working toward the middle from both sides. After the top is installed, install the sides of the moulding from the top down.

4. Remove the lower reveal moulding. Assure the channel in the retainer is clean and dry. Apply adhesive in one inch lengths in areas noted on Figure 1.

5. Centre and install the lower reveal moulding. Assure the side moulding is tucked into the notch at the ends of the lower moulding.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
