Some 1982, 1983 and 1984 Cimarrons may experience a loose rear deck luggage carrier caused by loose carrier rail, rubber well nuts. (Refer to Item #6 in Figure 1)
To correct this condition, remove the loose nut(s) and apply an acrylic chromate primer to the deck lid holes. Replace the loose nut(s) with replacement part number 1623436 and tighten to 2.5 N.m (22 in. lbs.) torque.
For warranty purposes, use Operation No. R9990 at .2 hours.
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.
