This bulletin is being revised to add model years and models. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 04-08-50-011 (Section 08 - Body &
Accessories).
This bulletin is being issued to advise technicians/dealers on the proper repair required when a customer brings in a trimmed seat with the appearance of
being worn, having a bald spot and/or being discolored. The seats in the later vehicles are trimmed with a cloth that has a napped fabric. Under some
circumstances, the nap may become crushed down by normal use, giving the appearance of being worn out. If the base material is NOT visible, use a
small brass (NOT STEEL) wire brush to carefully fluff and raise the nap. The wire brush (fine bristle brass) is available at most hardware and home
stores. If the base material is visible, replace the trim cover. The Astro/Safari van will also have this material on the door trim.
