TECHNICAL

Subject:
Rattle From Multi-Purpose Trunk Organizer
(Install Mat)

Models:
2003 Pontiac Vibe
with Multi-Purpose Trunk Organizer

Condition

Some customers may comment on a rattle noise from the multi-purpose trunk organizer while driving on non-smooth roads.

Cause

The source of this noise may be from the multi-purpose trunk organizer and occurs only when the unit is in the folded (flat) position with the pivoting end panels and removable dividers enclosed, causing plastic to contact plastic.

Correction

Important:
There are two types of multi-purpose trunk organizers available. If the vehicle is equipped with multi-purpose trunk organizer, P/N 12498559, it will already have the multi-purpose trunk organizer mat installed and this correction will not be necessary. A special sound-dampening multi-purpose trunk organizer mat, P/N 12497941, has been released to eliminate this condition. Open the organizer and install the mat inside the bottom of the organizer. Close the organizer.
