Body - Metal Body Panel Corrosion Protection



INFORMATION



Bulletin No.: 03-00-89-008F



Date: April 24, 2012



Subject: Corrosion Protection for Metal Panels with Dealer Installed Accessories Fastened by Drilled Holes



Models:



2013 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks



Supercede:



This bulletin is being revised to update the model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 03-00-89-008E (Section 00 - General



Information).



Corrosion Concerns



Frequently, dealer installed accessories, whether aftermarket or GM-approved, may require drilling holes into the body panels or supports to



complete installation. Whenever you drill into a metal surface, the corrosion resistance of that panel is compromised. Testing was conducted to



determine the best method used to protect the fastener-to-panel mounting holes from future corrosion. Several commercially available sealers and



coatings were evaluated.



Recommendations



In all cases, GM Vehicle Care Super Lube(R) with PTFE performed the best at preventing corrosion in fastener to panel interface holes and is now



the official GM recommended product as shown in the above illustration. It is recommended to apply the GM Vehicle Care Super Lube(R) with



PTFE to any hole and fastener before installing the fastener into the drilled attaching hole or inside the metal panel.



Important



GM Vehicle Care Super Lube(R) with PTFE is the only product recommended and required by GM for the corrosion protection of metal



panels where fasteners will be added to metal panels.
