This bulletin is being reissued to correct the part number listed for right hand tinted door glass. All copies of 88-213-10 dated May, 1988, should be discarded.

To reduce door glass water and air leaks on the 1988 C/K model, a new door glass and run channel seal has been developed. The upper rear corner of the new glass is square shaped, while the old style is more rounded (Figure 1) .
