- [09\-027\-25](/bulletins/11021386.md), 2025-08-05, Service bulletin: VISIBILITY/WIPER; UNKNOWN OR OTHER. Some vehicles may exhibit the inner cloth \(A\) falling down at the rear end causing a poor appearance and obstructing the view of the back window.
- [09\-034\-24](/bulletins/11003223.md), 2024-07-04, Service bulletin: VISIBILITY/WIPER; STRUCTURE:BODY. Some vehicles may exhibit the inner cloth \(A\) falling down at the rear end causing a poor appearance and obstructing the view of the back window. This is caused by: CASE A: The J\-hook binding holding the inner cloth coming loose because the convertible top is opened/closed a lot or from high ambient temperatures. CASE B: After the previous improvement carried out at the supplier since January 19, 2016, some J\-hooks have still been found coming loose to bind and hold the inner cloth during the assembly process. To correct the problem: CASE A: Two top\-protector clips have been additionally installed to both side edges of the J\-hook to prevent the J\-hook from loosening and separating. CASE B: An improved inspection process has been started at the supplier to check the appearance of the inner cloth after installation of the clip.

SOME VEHICLES MAY EXHIBIT A NOISE FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE A\-PILLAR WHEN DRIVING ON ROUGH ROADS OR OVER BUMPS.

FOR THE AFFECTED VEHICLES, A CLEARANCE NEEDS TO BE CREATED BETWEEN THE WIPER BRACKET AND COWL UPPER PLATE AND BETWEEN THE WIPER BRACKET AND DASH UPPER PANEL. TO CORRECT THE CONCERN, ADDITIONAL SEALING AND WELDING HAVE BEEN APPLIED TO THE WIPER BRACKET.
