41 00... Position Of Shaped Parts For Cavity Sealing
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 50 other vehicles, including the 2016 BMW M5, 2016 BMW ActiveHybrid 5, 2016 BMW 550i xDrive, 2016 BMW 550i, and 2016 BMW 535i xDrive. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Cavity sealing is carried out in specific body areas in order to reduce internal noise and to reduce condensate. To do this, shaped parts are inserted in the cavities. These shaped parts adapt themselves optimally due to heating of the body to approx. 180 °C by expanding to the shape of the cavities.
Because it is not possible to heat the body to this extent for a body repair, a different procedure . See 41 00... INSTALLING CAVITY SEALING (EXPANDED) , 41 00... INSTALLING CAVITY SEALING (NOT EXPANDED) or 41 00... INSTALLING A CAVITY SEALING WITH 2-COMPONENT PU CAVITY FOAM has been specified for this situation.
