Subject: BACK REVEAL MOLDING APPEARANCE (INSTALL NEW MOLDING)

Models Affected: 1992 BONNEVILLE MODELS

Some 1992 Bonneville models may exhibit poor appearance of the back window molding due to shrinkage.

CORRECTION:

----------- To correct this condition, the following steps must be followed.

1. Obtain rear window reveal molding, part number 25607456.

2. Remove the molding assembly. Assure the molding retainer is clean and dry.

3. Apply Loctite 380 (Black Max) or Loctite 410 or equivalent in a thick bead around the entire retainer. See Figure 1. Assure the area where the molding is bonded together in the lower corners is securely cemented to the molding retainer.

4. To install the new molding, align the centerline notch at the center of the lower portion of the molding. Insert the molding into the retainer both directions from the centerline. Assure the molding is not being stretched during installation as excess molding at the top center area will result.

Parts are currently available from GMSPO.
