41 00... Installing A Cavity Bulkhead (Expanded)

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 12 other vehicles, including the 2008 BMW 335xi, 2008 BMW 335i, 2008 BMW 328xi, 2008 BMW 328i, and 2007 BMW 335xi. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Carry over schematic representation to the relevant vehicle type.

The following repair represents the procedure for an already expanded cavity bulkhead.

The cavity bulkhead remains on the body in this instance.

Before these work steps, prepare the new part so that it is ready to install (adapting, cutting to size, applying welding primer etc.).

Clean contact surface (1) with spirit.

Apply an approx. 15 mm high bead (2) of original BMW window adhesive to contact surface (1).

Fit, secure and weld up new part.
