Chevrolet Service Bulletin Number<\/strong> 53-10-21<\/span><\/p>\n

Models Covered<\/strong> 1987-1996 Chevrolet Beretta and Corsica<\/span><\/p>\n

This section covers common water leak areas for the “L” body car.\u00a0 Again it’s recommended that you have a factory service manual or other equivalent type of book to help aid in the removal of parts.\u00a0 This section should be used as a guide to help you locate water leaks.\u00a0 The service bulletin number above can be given to a GM tech if you take your car in for service. The information below is taken directly from said bulletin.<\/span><\/p>\n

From personal experience I have had some water leak trouble in my Beretta.\u00a0 I’ll offer some tips that I used, it is much easier to locate a leak with the carpet removed.\u00a0 While it takes some time to remove the carpet you thank yourself later.\u00a0 It has taken me several tries to locate the leaks, don’t give up they can be frustrating to find!\u00a0 As for a sealer to use I would recommend a silicon type sealer.\u00a0 I used GE brand silicon II, one thing that I like the fact that it is permanently flexible and is UV resistant. Other brands didn’t make that claim so I went with it.\u00a0 They (GE) sell a “automotive” blend that comes in black.\u00a0 I looked closer and their “premium” outdoor Silicon II contained the same ingredients but was clear instead of black.\u00a0 I first started out with the small auto tube but needed a LOT more and found the clear caulk gun tube was a better buy.\u00a0 Also many of the spots that need to be re-sealed are hard to access and get the tube into.\u00a0 I used latex doctor gloves and put some caulk on my finger and spread it on the spots I suspected of leaking.\u00a0 Follow the instructions on whatever type of caulk you buy and make sure your surfaces are clean and dry.\u00a0 I used a heat gun to make sure everything was really dry but a hair dryer would probably work.\u00a0 On last tip if you need to remove your air inlet screens at the base of the windshield I would recommend that you buy a battery terminal puller.\u00a0 It works great for removing your wiper blade arms.<\/span><\/p>\n
