Subject: CARPET RETENTION IN FRONT FLOOR AREA
Model and Year: 1986-88 SPECTRUM
TO: ALL CHEVROLET DEALERS
Some of the subject vehicles may exhibit a condition where the carpet becomes detached from the "kick-pad" area and is pulled out from behind the "kick-pad".
This condition results from an insufficient amount of carpet behind the kick pad for the kick pad to provide the necessary retention. This condition is aggravated when the carpet does not conform to the floor contour in the footwell area. Pressure in the footwell area on the carpet causes the carpet to be pulled away from the kick-pad.
Current production vehicles beginning with VIN J7519137 incorporate carpets with greater "underlap" to the kick-pad as well as improved conformity with the floor contour.
Corrective action for vehicles exhibiting the described condition is as follows:
Remove kick-pad and carpet retainer, peel back carpet.
Apply carpet adhesive to underside of loose carpet and top side of underlay following adhesive manufacturers instructions.
Reinstall carpet and kick-pad.
