Subject: | Information on Rear Compartment Side Panel Assembly Mid-Year Product Change |
Models: | 1991-1995 Saturns |
The purpose of this bulletin is to provide service replacement procedures for a revised rear compartment side panel assembly.
The rear compartment side panel assembly was redesigned in mid 1993. The first design rear compartment side panel assembly had a tire-blocker. The second design does not contain a tire blocker.
Important: The second design rear compartment side panel assembly is used to service both designs.
When replacing a first design rear compartment side panel assembly, on the right side of the vehicle, with a second design rear compartment side panel assembly, the wheelhouse panel must be replaced.
Before Installing the second design rear compartment side panel assembly, the inner lower rear panel quarter -- highlighted in the illustration -- must be removed. Also, the rear compartment rear panel assembly -- floor plan -- flanged area, just above the inner lower rear panel quarter, must be trimmed to fit the second design rear compartment side panel assembly.
