Rear Spoiler is Not Properly Fastened on Rear Hatch (Install New Clips)
| Subject: | Rear Spoiler is not Properly Fastened on Rear Hatch (Install New Clips) |
| Models: | 2005 Chevrolet Equinox |
| Built Prior to VIN Breakpoint 56002661 |
Condition
Some customers may comment that the rear spoiler has a poor fit and/or makes contact with the inner body when the hatch is in the fully open position. This is most noticeable in hot weather.
Cause
The spoiler retaining clips may allow the spoiler to move as it expands in hot weather. This allows the water deflector weatherstrip to extend past the flange and get caught at the outer portion of the roof when the hatch is in the open position.
Correction
Install new clips to retain the spoiler. Follow the published procedure found in SI document ID #1365042.
