Info - New Design Convertible Top Weatherstrip

This bulletin is being revised to update the information and add the 2007 model year for the Solstice. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-08-67-009 (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).

On late built 2006 Solstice and early built 2007 SKY models, the convertible top and all of the convertible top weatherstrips, including the windshield weatherstrip and quarter panel muckets, were redesigned. The easiest way to distinguish between Plan-A and Plan-B designed weatherstrip is to open the top and from the front of the vehicle look at the number one weatherstrip on the convertible top (refer to illustration).

In the event that any of the convertible top or windshield weatherstrips needs to be replaced refer to the illustration above to identify if the customer has a Plan-A or Plan-B designed convertible top, since the weatherstrips are not interchangeable. All convertible tops built on or after VIN 6Y118652 (Pontiac) and 7Y103259 (Saturn), will require Plan-B designed weatherstrips

Important: There are some vehicles built prior to the above VIN breakpoints that were built with a Plan-B top and weatherstrips. Always check which weatherstrip the car is equipped with before attempting any repairs.
