The quarter window reveal moldings on some J car coupes may become loose or missing. Until final design changes can be made, assembly plants are providing a reliable attachment effective with vehicles built after December 5, 1989.
The correction of vehicles in the field consists of applying urethane or hot melt adhesive to the forward weld stud, loading the molding and then pushing it to the rear. The technician should then determine that the molding is positively retained by all the molding clips. Urethane and hot melt adhesives currently available in the dealership are acceptable for the operation.
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.
