# CONSOLE ARMREST COVER HIGH LATCHING EFFORT/ADJUST HINGE

#### MODELS AFFECTED: 1988 RIVIERAS AND REATTAS

Some 1988 Rivieras and Reattas may experience a high latching effort condition when closing the console armrest cover. This condition may be caused by either the cassette stowage tray and stowage compartment not being fully seated into the console armrest support or the armrest cover hinge being positioned too far forward. To repair this condition use the following procedure (Refer to Figure 1):

1. Verify that the stowage compartment and the cassette stowage tray are fully seated into the armrest support. If they are not, assemble these parts so they are fully seated and then check for high latching effort. The top of the cassette stowage tray should be even with the top of the console.

2. If high latching effort condition still exists, loosen the three screws attaching the armrest cover hinge to the armrest support. Adjust the hinge to the rearmost location, retighten the screws, and then check for proper latching effort.
