41 00... Position Of Shaped Parts For Cavity Sealing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 BMW 750xi, 2011 BMW 750Lxi, 2010 BMW 750xi, and 2010 BMW 750Lxi. 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 interior noise and to reduce condensation. 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 expansion 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 has been specified for this situation. See CAVITY ACOUSTIC BAFFLE (EXPANDED) , CAVITY ACOUSTIC BAFFLE (NOT EXPANDED) , or CAVITY SEALING WITH 2-COMPONENT PU CAVITY FOAM .
