SUBJECT: FENDER MOLDING, FRONT OF WHEEL, GAPS TO FENDER (INSTALL NEW MOLDING KIT)

MODELS AFFECTED: 1993 FLEETWOODS (RWD)

Some owners of 1993 Fleetwoods (RWD) may experience front fender molding gaps to the front fender.

This may be caused by the fender moving inboard during the assembly plant build process. This was corrected in production after and including VIN PR701300.

To repair this condition replace the existing molding assembly and clip with a new molding assembly. The new molding has a stud to attach to the fender. Order new molding assembly kits, P/N's 12513235 and 12513236, from GMSPO.

1. Remove fender molding from fender per Service Information Manual Section 10-5.

2. Remove lower spring from molding. Refer to Figure 1.

3. Remove attaching clip from fender and discard. Refer to Service Information Manual Section 10-5.

4. Refer to Figure 1, View A. Insert stud of new molding assembly into fender hole "B" and attach rear screws.

5. Install nut (part of new molding kit) to stud and torque to 3.5 Nm (2.6 lbs. ft.).

Parts are expected to be available on April 12, 1993.
