File In Section: 10 - Body

Bulletin No.: 93-10-09

Date: September, 1994

Subject:
Binding or Popping Front Door Glass/Road Noise
(Adjust Stabilizer)

Models:
1988-95 Chevrolet Beretta, Corsica

This bulletin is being revised to add 1990-95 model years.

Previous divisional publication numbers were:

Chevrolet 89-131-10
GM of Canada 89-2-149

Condition

Some owners may comment on a binding or popping noise on the front door glass when the glass is initially rolled down, or road noise caused by a gap between the front door glass and inner belt sealing strip with the glass in full up position.

Cause

The conditions may be caused by a misadjusted regulator arm stabilizer plate.





Correction (See Illustration)

The stabilizer may be adjusted inboard or outboard by bending with locking pliers. It may be considered to be adjusted properly when:

1. There is enough inboard pressure to prevent glass moving outboard, creating gaps of inner belt strip to glass, BUT;
2. Not so much inboard pressure to increase binding of the regulator arm to the stabilizer.
3. After necessary adjustment has been completed, lightly coat the outboard surface of the regulator arm and the inboard surface of the stabilizer arm where they come in contact with Lubriplate GM P/N 1052196 or equivalent.
