SUBJECT:
SERVICE MANUAL UPDATE - WINDSHIELD AND BACK GLASS REPLACEMENT

MODELS AFFECTED:
1991 PARK AVENUE


When replacing the windshield or back glass on the 1991 Park Avenue, it will be necessary to cut the urethane adhesive from inside the vehicle.

WHEN REPLACING A WINDSHIELD OR BACK GLASS, URETHANE ADHESIVE GM PART NUMBER 12345633 OR EQUIVALENT MUST BE USED TO MAINTAIN ORIGINAL INSTALLATION INTEGRITY. FAILURE TO USE URETHANE ADHESIVE WILL RESULT IN POOR RETENTION OF THE GLASS WITH RESULTING PERSONAL INJURY. TO PREVENT PERSONAL INJURY, GLOVES AND SAFETY GLASSES SHOULD BE WORN WHEN REMOVING GLASS.
