Weatherstrip - Poor Appearance/Fit At Roof Rail
Group Ref.: BodyBulletin No.: 311506
Date: October, 1993
SUBJECT:
POOR ROOF RAIL AUXILIARY WEATHERSTRIP APPEARANCE AND/OR FIT (REPLACE WEATHERSTRIP)
MODELS:
1992-93 CADILLAC SEVILLES
Condition:
Some 1992 and 1993 early Sevilles built before VIN breakpoint PU816900 may exhibit an unfinished look and/or corrosion at the front of the roof rail auxiliary weatherstrip or have a loose appearance at the rear of the weatherstrip. Additionally, all 1992 and 1993 Sevilles built before VIN PU834141 may demonstrate poor weatherstrip retention or gapping condition at the upper sail panel area. To correct these conditions, a new roof rail weatherstrip has been released incorporating a closed front mucket, a supplier installed clip in the weatherstrip carrier at the upper sail panel area, and a reduction in length at the rear of the weatherstrip.
Correction:
To repair this condition in the field replace the existing weatherstrips with the following parts using the following repair procedure:
(1) P/N 3544566 - Roof Rail Auxiliary Weatherstrip-RH
(2) P/N 3544567 - Roof Rail Auxiliary Weatherstrip-LH
(3) P/N 3544049 - Screw
1. Remove the existing roof rail auxiliary weatherstrip. Refer to Service Information Manual, Section 10-9.
2. Remove the lower screw from the windshield side reveal molding and discard. Refer to Figure 1.
3. Install the new roof rail auxiliary weatherstrip. Refer to Figure 1 and Service Information Manual, Section 10-9.
4. Roll the windshield side reveal molding toward the glass while securing the roof rail auxiliary weatherstrip to the windshield reveal molding with screw, P/N 3544049. Refer to Figure 1.
NOTE:
When securing the weatherstrip to the windshield side reveal molding, make sure there are no gaps between the windshield and the windshield side reveal molding or between the roof rail auxiliary weatherstrip and the windshield side reveal molding. To maintain an acceptable appearance both RH and LH roof rail auxiliary weatherstrips must be changed.
Parts are expected to be available on 10-4-93.
