Bulletin No. T-89-48
File in Group 10
Number 149
Corp. Ref. No. 811529
Date Dec. 1988
SUBJECT: LOOSE REAR WINDOW LACE

MODELS AFFECTED: 1989 SEDAN DE VILLES AND FLEETWOOD SEDANS

Some early 1989 Sedan DeVilles and Fleetwood Sedans without vinyl roofs may experience a condition of loose rear window lace, especially along the bottom. This may be caused by insufficient contact by the lace to the urethane around the rear window opening. This condition may become apparent after exposure to high ambient temperatures.

FIGURE 1 - APPLYING LOCTITE:

To repair this condition, pull the lace out from the glass in the areas where it is loose and remove the hot melt or butyl residue with a flat screwdriver. Apply Loctite 454 clear cyanoacrylate gel or equivalent in the lace channel, reinstall the lace to the glass, and hold in place for 60 seconds (refer to Figure 1).
