SUBJECT: DECK LID TORQUE ROD RATTLE
MODELS AFFECTED: 1986-87 SKYHAWKS - BODY STYLES 27 OR 69
The deck lid torque rods on 1986-87 Skyhawks, body styles 27 or 69, can rattle against each other if the rods are lightly touching or slightly separated. The condition has been corrected in production by installing a tie strap at the point where the two rods cross.
The same repair can be applied in service should a rattle in the trunk area be caused by the torque rods. Use tie strap, Part Number 3816659, and with the production rubber spacer in place between the torque rods, wrap the tie strap around the torque rods where they cross and draw it tight. Trim off the excess length of the tie strap.
