Date: March, 1996
Subject:
Hood to Grille Contact (Install Paint Protection Film)
Models:
1988-96 Chevrolet and GMC C/K Models
Condition
Some customers may comment that the lower edge of the hood wrap flange contacts the top edge of the grille resulting in marring of the hood and/or
grille.
Cause
Due to normal variation in the manufacturing process, the high spots on the hood wrap flange, and/or the top of the grille, may exhibit signs of marring if
hood to grille contact has occurred.
Correction
Install 3M SCOTCHCAL film on the lower edge of the hood wrap flange.
Service Procedure
Important:
This procedure must be done with the hood at normal shop temperature. Do not install the tape when the hood is very hot or cold.
1.
Flatten any high spots of the hood wrap flange with a wooden or hard rubber mallet. The hood wrap flange should be as close to parallel to top
surface of the grille as possible, as shown in Figure 1.
