SUBJECT: REAR COMPARTMENT FRONT PANEL MISALIGNED

MODELS AFFECTED: 1991-1992 DE VILLES AND FLEETWOODS


Some 1991-1992 DeVilles and Fleetwoods may exhibit a condition of the rear compartment front panel (tulip) being misaligned.

To correct this condition the following procedures should be followed:

NOTE: Prior to any adjustment of the tulip panel, make sure the deck lid is properly located to the deck lid opening.

To Adjust the Panel Fore/Aft:

Figure 1:





Remove the tulip panel and relocate the supports (near glass) to any one of three available mounting slots. Selecting the correct slot will allow movement of the panel approximately 1 mm in either direction. If greater fore/aft movement is necessary, remove the panel and shave up to 2 mm from the lower leg. Remove only enough to allow proper panel alignment. Refer to Figure 1.

To Adjust Up/Down:

Loosen all attachments, move the panel to the desired location, and tighten.

If greater up/down movement is required, remove the panel and replace or reinstall the supports as necessary. Install the panel to desired location. Refer to Figure 1.
