WATER LEAK AND/OR WIND NOISE TOP OF STATIONARY VENT GLASS

SUBJECT: WATER LEAK/WIND NOISE AT TOP OF STATIONARY VENT GLASS (SERVICE PROCEDURE)

VEHICLES AFFECTED: 1988-90 E MODEL

THIS BULLETIN CANCELS AND REPLACES PRODUCT SERVICE BULLETIN #89-2-196.

Due to a change in the roof rail weatherstrip used to service Reatta coupes, the repair procedure outlined in previous Service Bulletin is no longer applicable.

The A-pillar retainer and plate part numbers 20723201 and 20723202 are no longer used in production and should no longer be installed to correct a wind noise and/or water leak.

If a roof rail weatherstrip is replaced on a Reatta coupe with an A-pillar retainer plate assembly with a blow out clip, remove the blow out clip by drilling out the two attaching rivets.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
