SPOILER CONTACTS QUARTER PANELS WHEN CLOSING DECK LID. Pontiac Grand Prix 1995

SUBJECT: SPOILER CONTACTS QUARTER PANELS WHEN CLOSING DECK LID (ADD SPACERS AND GASKET KIT)

MODELS: 1995 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX WITH OPTION D81

CONDITION:

SOME CUSTOMERS MAY COMMENT THAT THE SPOILER ENDS CONTACT THE QUARTER PANEL WHEN CLOSING THE DECK LID.

CAUSE:

THIS CAN HAPPEN, ON SOME CARS, WHEN THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE IS HIGH AND THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SUN FOR MORE THAN TWO HOURS. THE SPOILER ABSORBS HEAT ENERGY AND CAN "DROOP" ENOUGH TO CLOSE THE DESIGN GAP BETWEEN THE QUARTER PANEL AND THE SPOILER ENDS. WHEN THE SPOILER COOLS, IT RETURNS TO ITS PREVIOUS SHAPE.

CORRECTION:

TO ADDRESS THIS CONDITION, INSTALL P/N 10280057 KIT, WHICH INCLUDES SPACERS AND GASKETS TO INCREASE THE SPOILER GAP TO QUARTER. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED WITH THE KIT.

PART INFORMATION:

PARTS ARE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE FROM GMSPO.

WARRANTY INFORMATION:

FOR VEHICLES REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY, USE: LABOR OPERATION: B5608 LABOR TIME: 0.3 HR.
