CORRECTIVE ACTION
^
Reinforce the guide tab on each front corner of the sunshade with EPT sealer.

Apply Tricot tape to the outer edges of the sunshade.
^
On the '86 & 87 4-door only, install EPT "spacers" between the sunshade and the sunroof frame.
1.
Remove the sunroof glass and sunshade, as described in the service manual.
NOTE:
When removing the sunroof glass, make note of the number and position of the sunroof shims; reinstall them in their original positions.
