BULLETIN NO.: 99-T-04ISSUE DATE: February, 1999
GROUP/SEQ. NO.: Body-03
CORPORATION NO.: 99-08-50-010
SUBJECT:
Vertical Swing Wires Protrude Through Front Seat Back Cover and Service Information on Design Changes on Replacement Front Seat Back Covers (Remove Vertical Swing Wires and Replace Seat Back Cover)
MODELS AFFECTED:
1996-1997 Saturn SC2 coupes built before and including VIN VZ205O41
CONDITION:
Customers may comment on damage in the middle section(s) of the driver's or passenger's front seat back cover and/or when replacing a front seat back cover the listing pockets are missing.
CAUSE:
The front seat back cover may be damaged by improper retention of the hog rings at the bottom of the vertical swing wires. This may allow the vertical swing wires to drop down and protrude through the front seat back cover.
Also, vehicles built after the above breakpoint and current service replacement covers do not contain listing pockets (refer to illustration)
CORRECTION:
Replace front seat back cover. On vehicles built before and including the above VIN breakpoint, remove and discard vertical listing wires. (Refer to the "Coupe Seat Back Pad and Seat Cover- SC2" section in the appropriate model year Body/Repair Service Manual.)
Additional finessing of the seat back cover may be needed to make the cover fit properly.
PARTS REQUIREMENTS:
Refer to the appropriate replacement seat cover as found in the Parts and Illustration catalog.
