HEAD REST TRIM COMES LOOSE STAPLE THROUGH LOCKING STRIPS

Subject: HEADREST TRIM COMES LOOSE (STAPLE THROUGH PLASTIC INTERLOCKING STRIPS)

Models Affected: 1992 BONNEVILLE MODELS

CONDITION:

------------ The headrest material on some 1992 Bonneville models may come loose allowing the foam to show causing a poor appearance.

CORRECTION:

----------- To correct this condition, the following steps should be followed:

1. Remove the headrest assembly from the seat using Tool J-38530 or equivalent.

2. Hook the interlocking strips together on the underside of the headrest. (See Figure 1)

3. Using a staple gun with 3/8" staples, staple through the plastic interlocking strips on the underside of the headrest to assure they do not separate again. Install three staples spaced about two inches apart.

4. Place the headrest back into the seat with the stapled plastic strip side toward the rear of the car.

Note: To check for correct installation of the headrest, pull up on the headrest to assure that it is not able to be pulled out of the seat easily. The headrest should stop at the maximum height adjustment. If the headrest pulls out of the seat easily, the headrest must be turned around. Repeat the test to assure proper 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.
