Condition 1 (Alero, Grand Am, Malibu)
Some customers may comment about a mildew odor or that the front or rear floor carpet is wet.
Cause
The door water deflector under the door pad may have voids, buckles, or other areas where the adhesive sealer is not adhered properly to the door metal
(front floor or rear floor).
Correction
Remove and dispose of the door water deflector. DO NOT reuse the original door water deflector. The adhesive surface must be clean, dry and free of
dirt or contaminants. Clean the door surface (around the perimeter of the water deflector) with one of the cleaners listed below or an equivalent. Install
the new water deflector using the procedure below.
For vehicles built with the auxiliary water deflector, follow Steps 1-4 (Olds and Pontiac sedans only).
1.
With the original water deflector removed, verify installation of the auxiliary water deflector.
