41 00... Installing A Cavity Acoustic Baffle (Expanded)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 BMW M3, 2009 BMW M3, and 2008 BMW M3. 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 acoustic baffle.

The cavity acoustic baffle 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 a bead approx. 15 mm high (2) of window glass adhesive to contact surface (1).

Fit, secure and weld up new part.
