This bulletin is supplemented by the "Allante Wind Noise and Water Leak Corrections" video tape that was sent to high-volume dealers in August, 1987. The following specific subjects are covered in this bulletin:

I. DOOR ALIGNMENT (use Labor Operation B4000-RH, B4001-LH at .3 hour each)

II. DOOR GLASS ADJUSTMENT (use Labor Operation C0100-RH, C0101-LH at .6 hour each)

III. A-PILLAR WIND NOISE AND WATER LEAKS (use Labor Operation T6269 at .8 hour)

IV. SOFT TOP WIND NOISE AND WATER LEAKS (use Labor Operation T6270 at 1.4 hours)

V. HARD TOP WIND NOISE AND WATER LEAKS (use Labor Operation T6271 at 2.0 hours)

The Labor Operations are listed for maximum times, when all steps are not required reduce the time claimed.

The repair procedures in this bulletin should be performed in the order outlined in this bulletin. Since many of the adjustment procedures affect alignment of other components, performing procedures out of the sequence outlined may not properly repair the condition.

For this same reason, owners should be instructed to bring in their hard top when they come in for service of a wind noise or water leak condition, even if the condition only occurs with the soft top.
