Affected: 1989 GRAND PRIX WITH SUNROOF OPTION (CF5)

1. Partially remove "B" pillar garnish moldings.

2. Remove acoustical material from back side of garnish molding.

3. Reinstall molding.

If molding has taken a warped set, heat molding with a heat gun held 8 to 12 inches from surface for approximately 30 seconds then install molding.
