LOOSE/MISSING BODY MOLDINGS (REPLACE WITH NEW MOLDINGS)

SUBJECT: LOOSE OR MISSING BODY SIDE MOULDINGS (REPLACE WITH NEW MOULDINGS)

VEHICLES AFFECTED: 1989 CHEVROLET J MODEL

The original equipment body side moulding with a bright metallic insert could curl due to uneven expansion rate of the two materials. This would cause them to loosen and/or fall off.

To correct this condition it will be necessary to replace the mouldings with an improved type. However, the new mouldings are solid black and will require replacement of all body side mouldings as a kit.

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.
