GENERAL INFORMATION
Hollow section inserts: Precautions for the repair
40A
The expanding inserts ensure that the vehicle cavities
are sealed and soundproofed. They react to the tempe-
rature when the bodywork is immersed in the catapho-
retic bath at the factory. These conditions cannot be
reproduced on the bodywork.
As inserts are not recoverable, always replace expan-
ding inserts.
The inserts supplied by the Parts Department are
identical to the original parts.
To obtain the same sealing and soundproofing proper-
ties, carry out the following operations:
-clean the bonding surfaces with heptane,
-if necessary, block the holes in the insert using pieces
cut from a soundproofing pad.
-apply a bead of preformed trim sealing mastic around
and inside the insert holes,
-fit the insert by compressing the mastic.
In some cases, it is possible to replace the accessible
part of the insert only, which must be cut out of the re-
placement part.WARNING
Do not refit the part after compressing the bead.
When EGW welding, protect the inserts from spat-
ter and heat dispersion.
For example, use a heat shield.
