1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This Section describes the service procedures for the ornamentation components such as emblems, name plates,
mouldings and finishers. Also included are the Wagon roof bars, and the Utility quarter panel rails and tonneau
cover bow retainer.
Several components previously in this Section have been moved to other Sections, these are:
Rear spoiler, refer to Section 1A4, 3.4 REAR SPOILER ASSEMBLY,
Liftgate air deflector, refer to Section 1A4, 4.9 LIFTGATE AIR DEFLECTOR ASSEMBLY.
Domestic Calais vehicles feature a hood front moulding assembly which is not included in this Section, refer to
Section 1A4. 2.1 HOOD FRONT MOULDING ASSEMBLY.
Many of the components in this Section are affixed to the vehicle with double-sided tape or urethane adhesive. It is
imperative that the correct materials are used when reinstalling these parts, as specified in this Section. Use of
materials other than those specified may lead to premature failure.
To aid in identification and service procedure location, refer to the pictorial index diagrams on the following pages.
NOTE: For information regarding the exterior ornamentation for domestic merchandising packs such as the Berlina
International Wagon and right-hand drive (Holden) Lumina, refer to the MERCHANDISING PACK Section in this
Service Information.
