Subject:Staining of Front and Rear Fascia (Polish Fascia and Replace Car Cover)

Models:2006-2007 Pontiac Solstice
2007 Saturn Sky

Attention: This condition only applies to vehicles with the Pontiac or Saturn Accessories car cover.


Condition

Some customers may comment that their front or rear fascia may have some shadows or dark areas in the paint after their Pontiac or Saturn Accessories car cover has been removed.

Important: These Pontiac or Saturn Accessories car covers can be identified by the manufacturer's tag located on the hem line in the LF corner at the fender well. This tag will have a part number for Saturn, (17802877, 19158357), and Pontiac, (17802589, 19158355), on it to identify it as the old cover.

Cause

The vehicle or car cover may have been damp when the cover was installed. This may have caused some color transfer from the car cover material to the paint.

Correction

Customers are to return the Pontiac or Saturn Accessories car cover to their local dealer/retailer for exchange. At that time, the dealer/retailer will make arrangements to clean and polish the front and or rear fascia, if needed.

Note: Once a replacement car cover has been provided to the customer, the original car cover must be destroyed and scrapped by the servicing dealer/retailer in order to prevent it from being installed on another vehicle.

Parts Information

Pontiac dealerships can obtain new car covers from General Motors Service and Parts Operations (GMSPO). Saturn Retailers can obtain new car covers from Saturn Service and Parts Operations (SSPO).

The new Pontiac or Saturn Accessories car cover can be identified by the manufacturer's tag, located on the hem line in the LF corner at the fender well. This tag will have the new GM part number on it to identify it as the new cover.
