Service Procedure

1. Remove original wheelhouse panel and discard.

2. Enlarge the holes where plastic fasteners were used to 17/64" diameter. Prime the drilled holes in the sheet steel with chromate primer. (Plastic fascia does not need to be primed).

3. Install new wheelhouse liner. See illustration and inset or any later 1987 Berettas for revised way of installing the liner.

Reuse existing metal screws wherever they were used. However, use P/N 10087278, rivets, rather than the removed plastic fasteners. Seven (7) of these plastic rivets are required per side of vehicle.

4. Drill a 17/64" diameter hole in the fender flange to accomodate the extra hole in the wheelhouse liner.
