July 2001 CIC Parts Committee Fit Test
Vehicle and technician provided by Berman's Automotive Center in Baltimore, Md. CAPA-certified fenders were manufactured by TKY. The headlamp was manufactured by TYC. The grille manufacturer was unknown.
Note: The two CAPA parts that performed poorly at the recent CIC test were certified in 1996. Late last year, both of the parts were re-evaluated as part of CAPA’s effort to re-test all parts using its more stringent test requirements.
CAPA’s test fit engineers noted problems similar to those observed by CIC attendees during the latest test fit, and corrective actions by the manufacturer are underway. Pending those actions, and in response to the CIC test results,these parts have been decertified by CAPA.
