Service VME - Luggage Carrier Side Rail Cracks - keywords appearance crack molding roof trim

The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.

This message is being issued due to numerous inquiries on the availability of the revised luggage carrier side rails to correct the cracking condition on the front corners. Unfortunately it will be mid May when both the side rails and revised 'A' pillar moldings will be available to correct not only the cracks, but provide a better fit between the two parts. Any side rails replaced with the current stock could crack again, so if a customer agrees, it is best to postpone the repair. I will provide another message with the revised part numbers just as soon as they are available.

Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.
