SUBJECT:
REAR DOOR MOLDING OUT OF ALIGNMENT

MODELS AFFECTED:
1993 FLEETWOODS AND FLEETWOOD BROUGHAMS

Some 1993 Fleetwoods and Fleetwood Broughams may have the rear door molding out of alignment with front door and rear quarter moldings. This condition may be caused by fastener attaching holes on the rear door positioning the door molding too high when it is installed.

To repair this condition use the following procedure:

1. Remove rear door molding from door per Service Information Manual, Section 10-6.

NOTICE:
Door molding retaining clips do not have to be removed.

2. Clean door panel surface using a 50/50 mixture of rubbing alcohol and water.





3. Refer to Figure 1, View A and slot the fastener attaching holes in the door downward as shown. Dimensions are in millimeters (5.0 mm = 3/16"; 3.0 mm = 1/8").

NOTICE:
Only three of the four fastener attaching holes in each door are slotted. One hole on the right door is slotted 5.0 mm.

4. Clean up any burrs and treat the slotted holes with primer and allow to dry.

5. Apply wax spray, P/N 12345489, to the slotted holes for added corrosion protection.

6. Install the door molding per Service Information Manual, Section 10-6. Before tightening the fasteners, make sure the molding is in alignment with the front door and rear quarter moldings.

Parts are currently available from GMSPO.
