Air Register: Customer Interest
A/C - Outlet Requires High Effort Swiveling Action
Bulletin 85-1-6
Date
Nov. '84
Ref. No. 85-018-1
SUBJECT:
HIGH EFFORT SWIVELING ACTION OF A/C OUTLET
MODELS AFFECTED: 1983-85 RIVIERA
A condition may exist in which the swiveling action of the A/C outlets on some Rivieras may require high effort. This may be due to the foam drag
washer, on one end of the outlet, which may be doubled over. As a result of the doubling over, the A/C outlet swing angle may also be affected.
This may be corrected by removing the outlet by depressing one of the pivot pins through the lower openings and pulling outward on the outlet. In some
instances, the removal of the I.P. trim plate may facilitate removal of the outlet. The foam drag washer can then be properly repositioned to the end of the
outlet. Carefully reinstall the outlet, foam washer end first, to avoid doubling over and adhering to the housing.
