Some 1985-1987 De Villes and Fleetwoods may exhibit a condition of discolored body side moldings. New moldings with increased ultraviolet stabilizers are being used in production and service to repair this condition. The part numbers listed in Figure 1 should be used to repair 1985-1987 vehicles and can be used for service on 1988 vehicies. Refer to Section 1, "Adhesive Body Side Moldings" of the appropriate Body Service Manual for service procedures.
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.
