INFO. ON REAR QUARTER POP- OUT WINDOWS. GMC Truck GMC C Pickup

SUBJECT: INFORMATION ON REAR QUARTER POP-OUT WINDOWS

MODELS: 1994-95 CHEVROLET AND GMC TRUCK C/K EXTENDED CABS WITH POP-OUT WINDOWS

SOME DEALERS MAY NOTICE THAT THEY ARE RECEIVING C/K EXTENDED CABS WITH RUBBER BANDS AROUND THE REAR QUARTER WINDOW LATCH. THE ASSEMBLY PLANTS ARE USING THE RUBBER BANDS BECAUSE THEY CANNOT LATCH THE WINDOW FULLY WITHOUT CAUSING THE FRAME TO BEND. BECAUSE THE NEW QUARTER WINDOWS ARE URETHANED INTO THE OPENING, LATCHING THE WINDOW BEFORE THE URETHANE HAS TIME TO CURE WOULD CAUSE THE URETHANE TO PULL SLIGHTLY AWAY FROM THE SHEET METAL. ONCE THE URETHANE CURES, IT IS SAFE TO SECURE THE LATCH.

REMOVE THE RUBBER BANDS FROM THE LATCHES DURING PDI (PRE-DELIVERY INSPECTION). THE URETHANE SHOULD BE PROPERLY CURED BY THE TIME IT GOES THROUGH PDI.
