Subject: | Information on Outer Door Panel Fastener Change |
Models: | 1993 Saturns |
A new fastening system has been instituted for attachment of the outer door panels-to-door structure. The new system utilizes a thread-locking compound on the bolt with a standard J-nut in place of a torque prevailing J-nut and bolt without a thread-locking compound.
Because of this new fastening system, a new service procedure is required to maintain proper torque. When installing an outer door panel, apply Loctite® 242 Threadlocker, Saturn P/N 21485277, or equivalent to the bolt threads.
Tighten
Tighten the bolt to 8 N·m (71 lb in).
