Late production 1986 door glass regulator assembly on two door models with power windows included an up stop. This expanded to all front door glass power regulators after October 1, 1986 on the 1987 'C' and 'H' models.
The added up stop prevents tape drive over travel and disengagement of the tape drive from the door glass. If a car has the above described condition and does not have an up stop, replace it with the later design. Part numbers and usage are indicated in the following chart:

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.
