FRT. COMPARTMENT WATER LEAK CHECK FRONT COWL SEAMS

MODELS AFFECTED: 1982-87 SKYHAWKS

A front compartment water leak may be experienced on some 1982-87 Skyhawks. This leak may be caused by inadequate sealing at one or more front body locations.

The following illustrations indicate the sealed areas of the front body portion of the vehicle. When a water leak is experienced in the front cowl area, inspect the seams for proper sealing. Should it be necessary to reseal an area, a high quality medium bodied sealer which will remain flexible after curing such as 3M Flexiclear, Part Number 08405 or equivalent, should be applied.

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.
