WATER LEAKING INTO PASS. COMPARTMENT (APPLY RTV #73-10-68
SUBJECT: WATER LEAKING INTO PASSENGER COMPARTMENT (APPLY RTV SILICONE SEALER
TO TOP VENT GRILLE ASSEMBLY)
MODELS: 1996-98 BUICK SKYLARK 1996-98 OLDSMOBILE ACHIEVA 1996-98 PONTIAC
GRAND AM
CONDITION:
SOME OWNERS MAY COMMENT ON WATER LEAKING INTO THE PASSENGER FRONT FLOOR
AREA.
CAUSE:
CONDITION MAY BE DUE TO POOR ADHESION OF THE TOP VENT GRILLE ASSEMBLY TO THE
WINDSHIELD. THE EXISTING SEAL TAPE CAN SEPARATE FROM THE GLASS OR THE GRILL
ABOVE THE A/C AIR INTAKE CANNISTER AND ALLOW WATER TO OVERFLOW INTO THE
PASSENGER FRONT FLOOR AREA.
CORRECTION:
REMOVE THE TOP VENT GRILLE ASSEMBLY. CLEAN THE GRILLE ASSEMBLY AND THE
SURFACE OF CONTACT ON THE WINDSHIELD OF ALL SEALING TAPE AND ADHESIVE
RESIDUE. APPLY A BEAD OF RTV CLEAR SILICONE SEALER FROM 3M(R), PART #08662,
OR EQUIVALENT, TO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE TOP VENT GRILLE ASSEMBLY WHERE THE
OLD SEAL TAPE WAS REMOVED. REINSTALL THE GRILLE. WIPE EXCESS RTV SEALER
HORIZONALLY ACROSS SEALING AREA TO ACHIEVE A SMOOTH FINISH.
