TO:
ALL CHEVROLET DEALERS
Bucket seats that exhibit wrinkled trim or that do not satisfactorily support the occupant may have collapsed foam pads. This condition
may occur if the vehicle is subject to round the clock operation which does not permit the foam pad to recover.
If this type of comment is encountered, the following rework of the seat cushion, can be used to correct this condition.
REWORK PROCEDURE
1.
Remove the seat assembly from the seat track and place it on the work bench.
2.
Disassemble the seat bottom from the seat back.
3.
Remove the hog rings securing the cushion cover to the seat frame and remove it.
4.
Inspect the cushion cover for damage. Sew in new material if required.

5.

6.
Check the part number on the bottom of the cushion. It should be number 20417676. If it is not, replace the cushion with this
number.
7.
Inspect the cushion for damage. If it has been torn or cut, cement it back together with 3M Trim Adhesive No. 08021 or
equivalent.
