Condition
Some customers may comment that the CHMSL applique is loose on the liftgate glass.
Cause
A poor bonding of the double-sided adhesive tape between the CHMSL applique and the liftgate glass may cause this condition.
Correction
Re-tape the CHSML applique to the liftgate glass using the following service procedure:
Open the liftgate glass.
Remove the screws that retain the applique to the liftgate glass.
Do not damage the applique or the liftgate glass when removing the applique from the liftgate glass.
With a flat-bladed tool, carefully remove the applique from the liftgate glass.
Remove the CHMSL harness grommet from the roof panel.
Disconnect the CHMSL harness connector.
Place a clean fender cover on a suitable working surface and place the applique on the fender cover.
Remove the old adhesive from the underside of the applique. (For Saab Only Remove the two screws from the CHMSL and remove the CHMSL from
the applique. Remove all the ribs from the back side of the applique as seen in illustration above. Clean the applique and the CHMSL with Isopropyl
Alcohol (rubbing alcohol), 3M(R) P/N 08984 or equivalent, and dry thoroughly using a clean low lint towel or towelette. Apply double-sided adhesive
tape, 3M(R) P/N 06397 or equivalent to the CHMSL lens as seen in the illustration below and install the two screws and tighten).
