LOCK BAR RETENTION ANTI-RATTLE FELT COLLAR

AN ANTI-RATTLE "FELT COLLAR" HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE DOOR LOCK ROD ON 1982 CUTLASS CIERA AND OMEGA MODELS. THIS COLLAR REQUIRES ADDITIONAL PRESSURE TO BE APPLIED TO THE LOCK BAR TO MAKE IT "SNAP" OVER THE LOCK ROD. WHEN REPLACING A LOCK BAR WHICH HAS FALLEN OFF, POSITION THE LOCK BAR OVER THE LOCK ROD AND PRESS AS SHOWN IN FIG. 1 UNTIL IT "SNAPS" INTO PLACE. IF A "SNAP" CANNOT BE HEARD, REPLACE THE SLIDE LOCK BAR. PART NO. 20367810.

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.
