• Rear compartment lid moulding assembly

• Rear compartment lid Series II name plate

• Liftgate Series II name plate

• Endgate Series II name plate

For Exterior Ornamentation information not contained within this Section, refer to Section 1A9 Exterior Ornamentation in

the MY 2003 VY and V2 Series Service Information.

A new rear compartment lid moulding assembly is fitted to the lower edge of the rear compartment lid on Executive and

Acclaim Sedan vehicles.

All MY 2004 VY Series Domestic vehicles are fitted with a Series II name plate which is located below the right-hand

name plate on the rear compartment lid, liftgate or endgate.

To aid in identification and service procedure location, refer to the pictorial index diagram on the following page.

Many of the components are affixed to the

vehicle with double-sided adhesive tape. It is

imperative that the correct materials, as

specified in this Section, are used when

reinstalling these parts. Use of materials o ther

than those specified may lead to premature

failure.
