DOOR TRIM PANEL WEAR AT REGULATOR KNOB/REPAIR

Model and Year: 1986-88 NOVA MODELS

A circular wear pattern on the door trim panel in the area of the window regulator handle may appear on some 1986-88 Nova models.

This condition may be caused by a sharp projection of plastic on the regulator knob rubbing on the trim panel as the regulator is operated.

To repair this condition, remove the window regulator handle and remove any sharp projection from the knob to handle attaching area on the side of the handle facing the door trim.

For cases of extreme trim panel abrasion, the panel should be replaced.

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.
