INFORMATION ON REPLACEMENT PART & INSTALLATION

SUBJECT: INFORMATION ON REPLACEMENT PART AND INSTALLATION PROCEDURE OF REAR DOOR TRIM PANEL

MODELS: 1994 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX

STOCK OF THE REAR DOOR TRIM PANELS WILL SOON BE DEPLETED. THE 1995 TRIM PANELS WILL BE USED TO SERVICE 1994 REAR DOORS. THE COLORS ARE ALL CARRYOVER AND THE TRIM PANELS ARE INTERCHANGEABLE, EXCEPT THE UPPER ENERGY ABSORBER PAD (WITH METAL COVER ON THE 1995 PART) MUST BE REMOVED PRIOR TO USE ON A 1994 DOOR; AND THE LOWER ARMREST ATTACHING SCREW IS NO LONGER REQUIRED.

TO REMOVE THE UPPER ENERGY ABSORBER PAD, REMOVE ONE RETAINER NUT (SEE ILLUSTRATION) THEN INSERT A FLAT BLADE TOOL (PUTTY KNIFE) UNDER THE EDGE OF THE ENERGY ABSORBER PAD AND PRY IT AWAY FROM THE TRIM PANEL. INSTALL THE TRIM PANEL TO THE DOOR AS PER SERVICE MANUAL, SECTION 10-6.

AS THE 1994 TRIM PANEL STOCK IS DEPLETED, GMSPO WILL SHIP 1995 TRIM PANELS.

IMPORTANT: REMOVAL OF THE UPPER ENERGY ABSORBER PAD FROM THE REPLACEMENT TRIM IS *ONLY* IF TRIM IS TO BE USED ON A 1994 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX.
