WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 BMW 550i GT, 2012 BMW 550i GT, 2011 BMW 550i GT, and 2010 BMW 550i GT. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
| Repair in the event of damaged sound insulation or leakage |
- Cut the butyl rope between the sound insulation and the inner door panel with a sharp knife
- After the repair is finished, position a new butyl rope Ø 3 mm directly on the original adhesive bead
- Heat the butyl bead with a standard hot air blower until the butyl rope strings when touched slightly. Do not damage the sound insulation in the process
- Press on with special tool 51 0 300
. Perform this work extremely carefully because the increased amount of adhesive requires contact pressure of ≥ 20 N/cm2
(compared to firm thumb pressure ~ 30 N/cm2
)
- Visually check the adhesive bead and its compression (no capillaries or broken adhesive bead permitted)
- In the cases mentioned, the complete sound insulation must be replaced. After removing the sound insulation, removal all butyl remnants from the inner door panel. Apply 6 mm Ø butyl rope to new sound insulation
- Press on with special tool 51 0 300
. Contact pressure ≥ 20 N/cm2
(compare to firm thumb pressure ~ 30 N/cm2
)
