VY Commodore Body Issues
Phoenix Mechanical
Soaring
Tail Lamps - On some VY's the lower, forward facing corner of either the left or right tail lamp may sit over the body panel. This may be worse in high ambient temperatures. Revised mounts were fitted to tail lamps late 2002, which provide improved retention under all circumstances.

Mounting stud - Part number 92146445
Mounting seal - Part number 92145533
Tail Lamp Nut – Part number 92138628

Front Door Wind Noise - VY's may have excessive wind noise from either of the front door areas. The main areas that can cause wind noise are

1. A gap between the glass guide rail (rear of glass) and the glass. Urethane can be applied between glass and guide rail to seal gaps.

2. A gap between the centre pillar weather strip and the glass guide rail. The centre pillar weather strip can be adjusted if the gap is excessive.

3. A gap between the top door weatherstrip and the door panel (in front of the mirror). The door rubber can be removed and repositioned if a gap is present.

Door Lock - The door locks may intermittently stop locking or unlocking, due to insufficient tolerances in the door lock mechanism. Door lock mechanisms with modified operating clearances were introduced early 2004.

Rear doors - Some VY rear doors may be hard to close, may leak water or have misaligned upper door seals. The rear door glass has one stopper in the front channel to stop the glass at the end of its run. This may allow the rear of the glass to over travel deforming the door frame weather seal. VY's with electric windows are more likely to be affected due to the higher closing force of the window. A stopper was introduced into the rear channel so that the window travel can be limited at both edges.

Window Glass Stop Screw – Part number 92138330 

Water in Bootlid - It may be possible for water to enter into the boot lid panel. If the sealer between the inner and outer skin has not been applied completely, water may enter between the skins. The inner boot skin drain holes are another area where water may enter into the boot lid.  The drain holes were only needed in the production process, when the bootlids were dipped for corrosion protection. If the drain holes at either side of the front edge of the bootlid (next to the rear wind screen) have not been sealed over, water can enter.
