FRT. FASCIA SAG BELOW HAEDLAMP INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

VEHICLES AFFECTED: 1989 CUTLASS CALAIS

Some 1989 Calais models may develop a sag or hollow appearance in the fascia below the headlamps. If this condition should develop and cause customer comments on it, it may be corrected by installing a shim under the fascia below each headlamp. The following procedure is to be used for installation of the fascia shims:

Procedure:

1. Refer to the 1989 Cutlass Calais Service Manual 2C-5, Figure 7 and remove items 4 and 5 (grille and filler).

2. Remove the headlamp assemblies.

3. Remove the bolts/screws attaching the upper edge of the front fascia to the impact bar.

4. Lift the upper edge of the fascia and insert the shims as shown in Figure 1, using part number 22548960 RH and 22548961 LH.

5. Reinstall the parts removed above.

Use the most applicable Canadian Labour Operation.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
