Installation of a cavity seal with cavity foam
Sourcing reference for cavity foam,
refer to BMW Parts Service.
Caution!
The cavity foam may only be use for cavity sealing at the
points at which cavity sealing is present as standard!
The following repair represents the replacement of a shaped part
for the cavity seal by the use of cavity foam.
This type of cavity sealing is used at points at which shaped parts
cannot be used for repairs.
This is the case if great heat (e.g. by welding, soldering or tinning)
has to be applied in direct vicinity or at point of standard cavity
seal after shaped parts for cavity sealing have been fitted.
Here the installation of shaped parts for cavity sealing is not
possible due to the fire danger and possible damage to the
structure of the shaped part!
To replace shaped parts with cavity foam at further locations,
adopt the procedure shown here and adapt it to the relevant
conditions.
It must be ensured that the cavity is completely sealed off.
Caution!
If cavities are connected to the outside area of the body and
complete sealing is not carried out, then penetrating moisture
may damage or destroy electrical components installed in
cavities.
Note:
Check the accessibility for the spraying pipe of the cavity foam
to the affected cavity after removing the damaged part.
Location of shaped parts,
