NOTICE: These fasteners are important attaching parts in that they could affect the performance of vital parts and
systems,
andlor could result in major repair expense. They must be replaced with one of the same part number or with an
equivalent
part if replacement becomes necessary. Do not use a replacement part of lesser quality or substitute design.
Torque values must be used as specified during reassembly to assure proper retention of all parts. There is to be no
welding as it may result in extensive damage and weakening of the metal.
NOTICE: The anti-theft label on some major sheet metal, engines, and transmissions must be masked prior to
painting, rustproofing, undercoating, etc. The mask MUST be removed following the above operations. Failure to keep
the label clean and readable may result in liability for violation of Federal Vehicle Theft Prevention Standard, and subject
the vehicle owner to possible suspicion that the part was stolen.

to their original position. surface with a roller
in order to insure a good bond.
The front and rear bumper fascias are made of
urethane. Urethane will withstand minor impact and
return to its original shape. Some front bumper fascias
are integral with the front end panel.
Some models use both steel and aluminum
bumper reinforcements. Usage is based on
EPA weight
class requirements.
BUMPER FASCIA RUB STRIPS
Some front and rear fascia rub strips are made of
a shiny plastic material. If a rub strip of this type loses
its lustre, the original shine can be restored by using
GM Plastic Cleaner or its equivalent. Follow directions
on the label.
SERVICE PROCEDURES
RUB STRIPS
Remove and Replace
Some plastic rub strips have an adhesive tape
backing (similar to a body side molding) and some have
studs or retaining tabs. In order to properly remove the
adhesive tape and avoid paint damage to the fascia, use
either a release agent or a heat lamp to soften the bond
of the adhesive tape to the fascia. In some cases, it will
be necessary to replace the rub strip with a new rub
strip instead of reusing the old one.
If the old rub strip is salvagable, remove all tape
from the back side of the rub strip as previously
described. Wipe strip clean with a wax and adhesive

rotate energy absorber any more than necessary to
align mounting holes.
1. Remove fascia attaching bolts and fascia to
fender attaching screws on right and left side, and
remove fascia and spacers.
2. If energy absorber is to be replaced, remove the
bolts and nuts from the front of the unit and the
nut from the stud at the rear.
Installation
1. Install energy absorber if removed.
2. Support fascia during installation to prevent
rotation of energy absorbers.
3. Install spacers and bolts at fascia to energy
absorber brackets.
4. Install fascia to fender attaching screws.
5. Check for proper clearance.
6. If adjustment is required to align fascia, loosen
energy absorber mounting bolts and position as
