B-PILLAR POST BLACK OUT APPLIQUE (GRAPHITE & BLACK SE MODELS)



Condition: Wrinkles in black out applique over door bump stopper pad. (See illustration).

Cause: Poor adhesion of applique to bump stopper pad.

Correction: Strip black out applique off B-Pillar posts. Separate bump stopper pad from applique and re-attach to B-pillar post in appropriate location.

Note: Stripping the black out applique may require the use of a heating device to soften the adhesive. If, after the applique has been removed, adhesive remains on the post it is easily removed using 3M's Woodgrain & Stripe Adhesive Remover (08908) or an equivalent product following the manufacturer's recommended procedures.

Relocating the transparent film door bump stopper pad is best done with the rear door open so that the exact position of the bump stopper can be determined.

Special Note: This condition is being corrected at the port facilities on all white vehicles.
