Attention: General Manager, Fixed Operations Manager, Parts Manager, Technician

Condition

Some customers may comment that the aftermarket window tinting is scratched and/or torn.

Cause

The second design side door inner sealing strips are manufactured with a Teflon® coated strip instead of a flocked strip. With the addition of aftermarket window tinting applied to the inner surface of the glass, the interface between the tinting, debris, and the Teflon® coated strip may scratch or tear the tint.

Refer to "Front Door and Rear Door Inner Belt Seal Removal & Installation" procedures in the Doors/Windows/Mirrors section of the 2002-2003 Saturn VUE Body Removal and Installation Service Manual.

Service Procedure
