Subject:
Rear Seat Carpeting Separates From Door Opening Sill Plate Molding
(Attach Retainer to Carpet)
Models:
1997-2001 Buick Century, Regal
Condition
Some customers may comment that the carpeting is separating from, or coming out from under the rear door opening sill plate molding.
Correction
Important:
This repair procedure recommends the use of an upholstery type or automotive trim stapler for attaching the retainers. However, if necessary, short
trim screws or rivets may be substituted. If you intend to sublet vehicles requiring this repair to an independent automotive trim shop, please supply
them with a copy of this Service Bulletin.
Attach a retainer to the carpet using the following procedure.
1.
Open the rear side door and remove the door opening sill plate molding.
2.
Remove the weatherstrip from the sheet metal at the bottom front of the door opening to expose the sill plate retaining clip.
3.
Inspect the plastic retainer, P/N 10414280, and note that one side of the material next to the slot is wider than the other side. If necessary, pull
back the carpet and then place one plastic retainer (1) over the clip (2) that attaches the sill plate molding. When properly positioned, the wider
side (3) next to the slot will be facing towards the center of the vehicle.
