WINDSHIELD RETENTION (USE URETHANE BOND)

Model and Year: 1981-88 G VANS

Beginning with the 1981 model year, G Van windshields are urethane bonded to the body. Prior to the 1981 model year, G Van windshields were held in place by a urethane bonded weatherstrip.

When windshield replacement is required on 1981-1988 model G Vans, do not use the pre 1981 weatherstrip and windshield. The urethane bonded windshield specified for the 1981-1988 model years should be used.

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.
