DETAIL
On vehicles in the above VIN range it is possible for the upper windscreen finisher to lift away from the "A" post trim finishers. Apart from the obvious unsightly appearance of the finisher, this can cause wind noise at the tops of the "A" posts. To overcome this problem, a new finisher has been introduced. The overall length of the finisher has been increased by 5/16 (8 mm) at each end. This increase in length will allow the upper windscreen finisher to sit underneath both "A" post finishers, giving a more secure fit, and better cosmetic appearance.
ACTION REQUIRED
Upon customer complaint of the upper windscreen finisher coming loose from the "A" post finishers, replace the finisher with the new type.
