kcobra Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 Anybody have the TSB fix done to their cars? I have this issue but want to know if it's worth having it taken in for repair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjhpadi Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Someone had posted that they had the TSB done, but I don't think they ever followed it up whether or not it improved the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crash712us Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 From what I have read its pretty extensive modification of rear inner door. Sounded pretty hackie, and its one of those fixes that they have go over with you to explain it to you to make sure you really want it done.

kcobra Posted April 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 Thanks for the input. That is why I asked because I had read about painting and such and was leary about it. I get some light dirt, like it would be misting on the rear plastic piece that is above the rocker. Glad it wasn't just my car. I can live with it probably, just wanted to see if it was a known problem. I live in Northern Maine where the roads and conditions are often crappy!
