DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION AND PROCEDURES
SQUEAK AND RATTLE DIAGNOSIS
ConditionProbable CauseCorrection
Rattle Coming From the
Side Rail
Improperly connected brake
lines.
Tap lightly on the brake lines and listen for a
rattle.

Install plastic tie straps to secure the brake
lines tightly together.
Rattle Under Vehicle at
Higher RPM
The heat shield contacts with
the underbody.
Raise the vehicle and perform a visual
inspection.

Bend the heat shield slightly to gain
clearance from the underbody.
Squeak From the Front
of the Vehicle in Cold
Weather
Poor front stabilizer shaft
insulators taping.
While the vehicle is cold, perform a test drive
and achieve full front suspension travel by
driving through a dip in the road.

Remove the insulators and wrap teflon tape
around the stabilizer shaft. Reinstall the
insulators over the tape.
Thump From Rear of
Vehicle on Bumps
Improperly secured spare tire in
the rear compartment.
Open the rear compartment and perform a
visual inspection of the spare tire and the
tools.

Tightly secure the spare tire and all tools.

Perform a road test to verify that the noise is
eliminated.
Glass Knock Coming
From the Rear of the
Vehicle When Driving
Over Bumps
An out-of-adjustment hatchback
latch.
Test drive the vehicle in order to verify this
condition.

Loosen the latch nuts and adjust the latch
downward.
Rattle Coming From
Door
The door lock solenoid is loose.
Remove the door trim panel and check if the
solenoid is loose.

Tighten the solenoid bolts.

Rattling electrical connectors
inside the door trim panel.
Tap on the trim panel and listen for a rattle.

Remove the trim panel and wrap foam
padding around the connectors as required.
Squeak When
Operating Doors
A lack of lubrication of the door
hinge pins.
Operate the doors and listen for squeaks.

DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION AND PROCEDURES
TESTING REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER GRID LINE
D109E301
If it has been observed during use that a grid line is inop-
erative, the following procedure can be used to find the
break. If none of the grid lines is operating, a full system
diagnosis should be completed before attempting to re-
pair the grid lines.
1. Turn the ignition ON.
2. Turn on the rear window defogger.
Notice: Use care when touching the voltmeter terminals
to a grid line. If the terminals are roughly applied, the grid
line may be scratched, resulting in an open circuit.
3. From the inside of the vehicle, connect a voltmeter to
each end of a grid line. The voltmeter will indicate bat-
tery voltage if the grid line is open.
4. If a grid line is found to be open, move a voltmeter ter-
minal from one side of the grid line and retest at apoint nearer to the other side of the window. Continue
to retest, each time bringing one of the voltmeter ter-
minals closer to the opposite side of the window from
where it was originally connected. The break in the
grid line is at the point where the voltmeter begins
reading 0 volts instead of battery voltage.
5. Use a marking crayon to lightly mark the break point
on the rear window. Mark the glass instead of mark-
ing directly on the grid line, and make the mark far
enough from the grid line so that the mark can easily
be removed without disturbing the repair.
6. Use a grid line repair kit to fix the break in the grid line.
Refer to “Rear Window Defogger Grid Line Repair” in
this section.

5. If a fore or aft adjustment is required, use the following
steps:

Remove the striker screws (1).

Remove the spacer in order to move the striker to-
ward the rear of the vehicle (2).

Add a 2 mm (0.08 inch) spacer in order to move
the striker toward the front of the vehicle.

Install the striker screws.
6. Perform the up/down or the in/out adjustment. Refer
to ‘‘Up/Down or In/Out Adjustment’’ in this section.
D109C574
Up/Down or In/Out Adjustment
An adjustment of the striker in the up and down or in and
out directions may be necessary for a number of reasons:
vehicle frame damage as the result of a collision, installa-
tion of new door weatherstripping, customer complaints
of excessive windnoise, or difficulty in opening or closing
the door. In order to adjust the door striker in an up and
down or in and out direction, perform the following proce-
dure:
1. The door must be properly aligned.
2. Loosen the striker screws.
3. The floating cage plate can be moved slightly using
the ends of the striker screws. Move the floating cage
plate to the desired position.
Notice: It is important to use a flat-end rotary file in or-
der not to damage the tapped floating cage plate. The
striker screws and the tapped floating cage plate are im-
portant attaching parts that could affect the performance
of vital components and systems.
4. If proper adjustment requires that the floating cage plate
be moved more than is possible, use an electric hand
drill and a 3/8- inch rotary file with a flat head in order to
enlarge the body opening in the direction required.
5. Tighten the striker screws to the correct position.
D109C578
TAILGATE LOCK STRIKER
ADJUSTMENT
Notice: The tailgate lock striker is an important attaching
part that can affect the performance of vital components
and systems and can cause major repair expenses. If re-
placement becomes necessary, the tailgate lock striker
must be replaced by one with the same part number or
with an equivalent part if replacement becomes neces-
sary. Do not use a replacement part of lesser quality or of
a substitute design. The specified torque values must be
used during reassembly in order to ensure the proper
retention of the part.

9P –12 DOORS
DAEWOO M-150 BL2
The tailgate lock striker consists of a striker with two
screws that are threaded into a tapped, floating cage
plate located in the appropriate body pillar. This floating
cage plate allows the striker to be easily adjusted in or
out and up or down. The tailgate is secured in the closed
position when the tailgate lock fork snaps over and en-
gages the striker.
D109C578
Fore/Aft or In/Out Adjustment
An adjustment of the striker in the fore and aft or in and
out directions may be necessary for a number of reasons:
vehicle frame damage as the result of a collision, installa-
tion of new tailgate weatherstripping, customer com-
plaints of excessive windnoise, or difficulty in opening or
closing the tailgate. In order to adjust the tailgate striker in
an fore and aft or in and out direction, perform the follow-
ing procedure:
1. The tailgate must be properly aligned.
2. Loosen the striker screws.
