REPLACING DOOR LOCK ROD CLIPS NEW INFORMATION ON ROD CLIPS

SUBJECT: DOOR LOCK ROD CLIPS (NEW PROCEDURE FOR SERVICE) ON 1991 DE VILLES AND FLEETWOODS

When repainting any door lock rod (outside handle, inside handle, key cylinder, or inside locking lever) which has become disengaged or when making any repair that requires a rod to be removed, the white attaching clip must be replaced. This applies to both front and rear doors. The clips are not reusable due to lower rod retention after the first use. Order service P/N 16606936 from GMSPO. Parts are currently available from GMSPO.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
