Improper Fit/Alignment of Rear Compartment (Deck) Lid, Rear Fascia and Tail Lamps (Adjust Rear Compartment Lid, Fascia/Shim Tail Lamps)
Model:
1997 Pontiac Grand Prix (Coupes and Sedans)
Condition
Some owners may comment that the fit or alignment of the rear compartment (deck or trunk) lid to the quarter panels is noticeably different from one side of the vehicle to the other. They may also comment that the rear fascia and tail lamps do not fit or align well with the deck lid.
Cause
The deck lid and rear fascia may have been improperly adjusted during vehicle assembly.
Correction
Verify and adjust the deck lid, rear fascia and tail lamps using the following procedure.
Important:
Before beginning, verify that both overslam bumpers are screwed into the deck lid completely. DO NOT use the overslam bumpers for adjustment of the deck lid height. See Figure 1. After all adjustments have been made, reposition both overslam bumpers so that they are only making light contact with the body and are not supporting the deck lid.
