During factory body assembly, foam insulators are installed in certain body panels and locations around the vehicle. Use the following procedure(s) to replace any factory-installed foam insulators. URETHANE FOAM APPLICATIONS Use commercially available Urethane foam or adhesive for sealant (foam material) repair of material used on vehicle.

<Urethane foam for foaming agent> | 3M™ Automix™ Flexible Foam 08463 or equivalent
<Adhesive for highly rigid foaming agent> | 3M™ Automix™ Panel Bonding Adhesive 08115 or equivalent

Read instructions on product for fill procedures.

1.Example of foaming agent filling operation procedure

(1)Fill procedures after installation of service part.

1)Eliminate foam material remaining on vehicle side.

2)Clean area after eliminating form insulator and foam material.

3)Install service part.

4)Insert nozzle into hole near fill area and fill foam material or fill enough to close gap with the service part.

(2)Fill procedures before installation of service part.

1)Eliminate foam material remaining on vehicle side.

2)Clean area after eliminating foam insulator and foam material.

3)Fill foam material on wheelhouse outer side.

NOTE：
Fill enough to close gap with service part while avoiding flange area.

4)Install service part.
NOTE：
Refer to label for information on working times.

2.Example of highly rigid foaming agent repair procedure

(1)Blowing condition of highly rigid foaming agent

1. | Insulator (high stiffness blowing agent)
2. | Rear pillar reinforcement
3. | Foamed area of high stiffness blowing agent
4. | Rear pillar inner
5. | Rear pillar inner reinforcement

1. | Insulator (highly rigid foaming agent)
2. | Rear pillar reinforcement
3. | Foamed area of highly rigid foaming agent
4. | Inner rear pillar
5. | Inner rear pillar reinforcement

(2)Repair condition after applying adhesive

1. | Insulator (highly rigid foaming agent)
2. | Rear pillar reinforcement
3. | Foamed area of highly rigid foaming agent on rear pillar reinforcement side
4. | Inner rear pillar
5. | Inner rear pillar reinforcement
6. | Adhesive (foaming area of highly rigid foaming agent)

■ CAUTION ■

- Eliminate the foaming agent from the filling area so that the foaming area of highly rigid foaming agent on the insulator does not interfere with the inner rear pillar, and then apply the filler, after degreasing the filling area.
- Check the instruction manual of the adhesive for the hardening time.
