SYMPTOM/CONDITION Some of the early built Plymouth Acclaim LE and LX models and Chrysler 4dr LeBaron models may exhibit lower body side
moldings with loose plastic inserts on one or more of the moldings. This condition is a cold weather condition that is caused by the failure of the
adhesive between the plastic insert and metal molding frame.
