Some 1992 and 1993 Eldorados and Sevilles may experience a condition where the customer is not satisfied with the appearance of the seat cushion area. Conditions identified may include the following. (Refer to Figure 1.)

1. Carpet showing between seat cover and seat back
2. Overall bagginess of cushion area
3. A collapsed condition of the outboard seat cushion bolster











To repair this condition replace both the foam seat cushion and seat cushion cover:

NOTE:
Medium beechwood seat covers are not available as of print date. An update to this bulletin will be sent when they become available.





For repair procedure refer to Section 10-10 of the 1992 or 1993 Eldorado and Seville Service Information Manual. An additional step to hog-ring the seat cushion cover to the foam at the rear bite line must be performed using hog rings, P/N 04876466 or equivalent, (four per seat cover). Refer to Figure 2.

NOTE:
To maintain consistency of appearance, both driver-side and passenger-side foam and seat covers should be replaced at the same time. Once both seats have new replacement parts, future components can be replaced individually.

For warranty purposes use Labor Operation T6701 at 1.1 hours for driver side and Labor Operation T6702 at 1.1 hours for passenger side.
