REMOVAL OF PROTECTIVE PLASTIC FROM INTERIOR TRIM

Model and Year: 1989 CHEVROLET MODELS

Comments have been received concerning razor blade damage to leather/vinyl steering wheels and other interior trim. Apparently, some dealership new car make ready departments use razor blades or other sharp instruments to remove the protective plastic covering that assembly plants install on leather/vinyl steering wheels, seats, and other interior trim.

In order to prevent accidental damage from occurring, we do not recommend using sharp instruments to remove this protective plastic covering.

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.
