FIGURE 1 - OLDSMOBILE CALAIS ARMREST TRIM PLATE
A new front floor console armrest trim plate has been released for Calais models with increased bracket retention. Replacement is recommended any
time a console armrest trim plate and bracket have separated.
However, the first type trim plate has been reworked by the manufacturer and will continue to be used until current stock is depleted. Existing GMSPO
stock was also reworked by riveting the bracket and plastic trim plate together as shown in Figure 1.

When replacing a trim plate that has separated, service parts should be inspected for the rivet (first type) or the revised bracket (second type). First type
trim plates in stock that have not been reworked may be reworked for use with the following procedure:
1.
Check underside of trim plate assembly for an existing rivet. (See Figure 1). If rivet has already been installed, use the part for service without
further change. If no rivet is found, continue to Step 2.
