ROOF PANEL ATTACHING PLATE REPAIR-DAMAGED 'T' NUTS

VEHICLES AFFECTED: 1984 Corvette

Some front roof hold down bracket 'tee nuts' may become damaged. If the 'tee nuts' have been damaged, the following steps are recommended:

1. If the threads in the 'tee nuts' do nut appear to be excessively damaged, an attempt to retap may be made using an 8mm x 1.25mm tap.

2. If the retap does not result in a satisfactory thread, a new tapping plate should be installed. This tapping plate is part of a repair kit (P/N 14084402) which will be available from WDDGM around April, 1984. This kit includes a new tapping plate, cover plate, template, roof attaching bolts, attaching hardware and an instruction sheet. Refer to Product Service Bulletin 2-111 dated 1-15-84 for the roof panel adjustment procedures.

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.
