SOUND DAMPENING

During production, expanded foam is incorporated
into some body cavities to reduce noise or prevent
the ingress of moisture, dust and fumes. After a
repair that involves replacement of a section
containing expanded foam, the new section must be
injected with an approved sound dampening foam.
See INFORMATION, Sealing and corrosion
protection. The sound dampening foam should be
injected after paint refinishing and application of
cavity wax.

Accessible cavities that must be injected with sound
dampening foam are detailed in the following
Figures. When injecting the foam, ensure the foam
fills a complete cross section of the cavity.

Sound dampening foam injection points - 3 door

Cavities symmetrically opposite to those shown must also be treated.
