FRONT DOORGLASS DISENGAGED REPAIR PROCEDURE

Front door glasses that become disengaged from the front run channel on 1980 - 1983 88 & 98 sedans and wagons can be corrected by using the following procedure.

1. Remove front door trim panel and loosen water deflector as described in Section 5 of the Fisher Body Service Manual.

2. Operate door glass to the full up position and adjust the window stabilizers to glass to reduce inboard-outboard movement.

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.
