Bumper - Front End Noise Hood Latch Hits Skid Plate
Number 85-2-13 Date 8/85Subject: FRONT END NOISE
1985 PARISIENNE
FRONT BUMPER ASSEMBLY:
A front end noise has been noted on some 1985 Parisienne models. This noise occurs when driving over bumps, turning or stopping.
In 1985 a center skid plate was added to the front bumper reinforcement. This plate, if improperly adjusted, may contact the hood latch support causing a metal-to-metal noise.
This condition can be repaired by adjusting the center skid plate so that a clearance of 7.6 mm + 2.5 mm (19/64 + 3/32) is achieved to the hood latch support.
