CTS Sedan AWD V6-3.0L (2010)
Some customers may comment that the trim (bezel) around the manual lock lever located on the door panel near the window is loose or has become
detached.
Cause
This condition may be caused by a weakening of the heat stake tab fastening the bezel to the trim panel.
Correction
Important
Do not replace the door trim panel assembly. Replace only the bezel.
1. Remove the affected door trim panel. Refer to Front Side Door Trim Panel Replacement or Rear Side Door Trim Panel Replacement in SI.
2. Prepare the mounting area of the trim panel. Use a utility knife or similar tool to remove the residue from the original bezel heat stake. Use care to
not damage the mounting area on the trim panel.
3. Clean the mounting surfaces of trim panel and the bezel. Be sure to follow the adhesive manufacturer's procedure.
4. Position the new bezel onto the trim panel. Use the impression in the soft outer trim surface for proper alignment.
