Side Door Roof Rail Weatherstrip Replacement
Models:
1992-93 Cadillac Eldorado - Built Prior to VIN Breakpoint 609233
The 1992-93 Eldorado side door roof rail weatherstrip, P/N 3539469-70, has been superseded with the 1994 Eldorado side door weatherstrip, P/N 25636389-90 at GMSPO. However, the 1994 weatherstrip is too short in the rear lower vertical area when it is used on a 1992 or 1993 Eldorado built prior to VIN breakpoint 609233. Therefore, when replacing the weatherstrip on one of the above listed vehicles, a weatherstrip shim kit is also needed using the following procedure:
Correction Procedure
1. Remove old weatherstrip and auxiliary seal.
2. Use Cadillac Weatherstrip Shim Kit, P/N 40350, for this repair. The kit is available from:
Kent Industries
4500 Euclid Ave.
Cleveland, OH 44103
1-800-654-6333
3. Use weatherstrip adhesive to glue existing plug (see Figure 1) into the shim kit bulb, approximately 90 mm (3 1/2 inch) (see Figure 2). Tuck loose end of bulb behind retainer (see Figure 2).
4. Install 1994 Eldorado side door root rail weatherstrip, P/N 25636389-90.
5. Cover shim kit bulb with molded flap of the root rail weatherstrip (see Figure 3).
6. A 5 mm hole may have to be drilled for the lower retainer button of the new side door roof rail weatherstrip (see Figure 2). Use weatherstrip as a guide for the lower hole placement (see Figure 2, Item 4). Apply anticorrosive primer for bare metal surfaces on affected area. Install push pin, P/N 1644290.
7. Replace auxiliary seal, side door lock pillar lower with P/N 3536994 (RH), or P/N 3536995 (LH).
