DESCRIPTION
Some vehicles may have rust (1) on the contact parts between the clips (for attaching the roof molding) and the roof
panel (ditches of the roof rail).
This is caused by the gap between the roof molding attachment clips and the roof panel not being wide enough to allow
paint to be appropriately applied to the roof panel. To eliminate this concern, the shape of the roof molding clip has been
changed to enable paint application between the clip’s rib and roof during the manufacturing process.
Customers having this concern should have their vehicle repaired using the following repair procedure.
REPAIR PROCEDURE
1. Verify the customer concern.
2. Remove the roof molding clips, repair the rusted area, and replace the clips with new ones.
