1. Inspect to see if an embossment "A" exists on the molding. Refer to Figure 1, "A".
2. Inspect the outer panel flange for the corresponding notch "B".
3. If the embossment "A" exists and there is no notch "B", then the flange on the door must be bent outboard in the area of the embossment to allow for loading. Refer to Figure 1, Sec X.

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.
