The service part for left and right side Module RF S/RL InfI Rst has been superseded to the most current production part which has a different shaped
discharge tube that creates an interference fit with earlier model vehicles (vehicles built prior to January 2007 will need this modification). The inner roof
will come in contact with the inflatable restraint module tube and will not allow installation. Refer to the illustration. Follow the service procedure below
for inner roof panel modification and installation above.
Service Procedure
Modify the inner roof following the procedure below.
Remove the headliner following the SI procedures.
Remove the roof side rail inflatable restraint module following the SI procedures.
Draw two lines on the inner roof panel up to the radius. Refer to the illustration above.
Protect the interior for the next step.
Using a reciprocating hack saw cut the inner roof panel following the lines drawn in step 3.
Fold the sheet metal upward to make clearance for the inflatable restraint module.
