Subject: Front Fender Inner Panel Access Opening Cover Chrome Trim Molding Loose or Missing (Replace Both Lower Chrome Trim Moldings)

Models:

2010-2011 Cadillac SRX

Supercede:

This bulletin is being revised to change the part being replaced and repair instructions. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 10-08-111-001

(Section 08 - Body and Accessories).

Condition

Some customers may comment that the lower chrome trim molding is loose or missing from the area in front of the outside mirror.

Correction

A new lower chrome trim molding kit has been released to correct this concern. The new lower chrome trim molding has four tabs for improved

retention. Replace both lower trim moldings if the trim pieces are missing. There may be vehicles that only have one side missing the lower

molding. For the side that still has the lower trim attached, remove the front fender inner panel access cover and check for the four metal tabs as

shown in the illustration below. If the lower trim molding only has two tabs, replace the molding with the new design.
