Overview:
This bulletin involves sealing the holes in the VIN Plate on the instrument panel.
Symptom/Condition:
A whistling sound may be present coming from the front of the instrument panel near the bottom of the windshield when the heater A/C blower is on. This may be caused by air escaping through the holes in the center of the rivets that attach the VIN plate to the instrument panel. This can be mis-diagnosed as a windshield air leak.
Diagnosis/Repair:
If a customer indicates that the condition is present, remove the instrument panel top cover and apply a small drop of Clear Glass Sealer, p/n 04318088 or equivalent, to the center of each of the rivets to seal the rivet holes (Fig. 1).
