Condition
Some customers may comment that the driver and/or passenger side windshield garnish molding is loose, has a gap at the top or is falling off.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the garnish molding retaining clips not fully engaging or not being replaced at a previous service event. The tether clip
is a "one time only" use clip. The clip is not designed for multiple cycles of engaging and releasing.
Caution
Whenever the windshield side garnish molding is removed or replaced, the upper retaining clip and tether must be replaced with a new service retainer
clip. Failure to replace the clip may cause the windshield side garnish molding to not fit or function as designed. Do not reuse the old clip - it is a one
time only use design. Do not separate the two halves of the service retainer clip.
Correction
Important
Do not replace the windshield garnish molding assembly if it is not affected. The upper tether fastener is available as a service part. Replace
only the fastener as instructed in the bulletin procedure.
Use the following steps to install the new service garnish molding upper retaining clip.
1. Disable the SIR system. Refer to SIR Disabling and Enabling in SI.
