Subject:
Door Trim Pull Strap and Bezel Assembly Comes Loose
(Apply Adhesive or Replace Molding Assembly)
Models:
1994-96 Buick Roadmaster
Condition
The door pull strap may become loose on the door trim panel and pull the bezel assembly away from the trim panel (see Figure 1). This results in breaking the "heat staked tabs" for the bezel assembly from the back side of the trim panel.
Cause
The attaching screw for the pull strap may have been improperly installed and threaded between the plastic attaching clip and the door inner panel, missing the attaching clip hole. Prolonged use of the strap may allow the screw to disengage and the bezel assembly to pull loose from the "heat staked tabs" on the back side of the trim panel.
Correction
May vary, depending on the condition of the bezel assembly.
1. If the bezel assembly has just pulled loose from the trim panel breaking only the "heat staked tabs", refer to Procedure 1.
2. If the bezel assembly is broken on the "appearance side" of the trim panel, refer to Procedure 2.
Important:
DO NOT REPLACE TRIM PANELS for either of the above conditions.
