41 00... Position Of Shaped Parts For Cavity Sealing
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 21 other vehicles, including the 2017 BMW 550i GT xDrive, 2017 BMW 535i GT xDrive, 2017 BMW 535i GT, 2016 BMW 550i GT xDrive, and 2016 BMW 535i GT xDrive. 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 internal noise and to reduce condensate. 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 expanding 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 SEALING (EXPANDED) ; CAVITY SEALING (NOT EXPANDED) or CAVITY SEALING WITH 2-COMPONENT PU CAVITY FOAM .
