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

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 BMW 760Li, 2007 BMW 760Li, 2006 BMW 760i, and 2006 BMW 760Li. 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.
