# INFORMATION ON OUTER DOOR PANEL FASTENER CHANGE

#### SUBJECT: Information on Outer Door Panel Fastener Change

#### MODELS AFFECTED: 1993 Saturns

PURPOSE: A new fastening system has been instituted for attachment of the outer door panels-to-door structure. The new system utilizes a thread - locking compound on the bolt with a standard J-nut in place of a torque prevailing J-nut and bolt without a thread-locking compound. Because of this new fastening system, a new service procedure is required to maintain proper torque. When installing an outer door panel, apply Loctite 242 Threadlocker (Saturn P/N 21485277, or equivalent) to the bolt threads. Torque 8 N-m (71 in-lbs).

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
