Stiffener and Damp Sheet Application Locations



STIFFENER AND DAMP SHEET APPLICATION LOCATIONS

Sound insulation was improved with anti-vibration effects and heightening surface rigidity with a stiffener on the inner side of the side outer panel, as well as a damping sheet adhered to the inner side of the side outer panel, rear quarter inner panel lower, roof panel and trunk lid outer panel.

NOTE: The main contents of a stiffener are epoxy resin. It comes in a sheet form and contains a mixture of glass fiber and filler, and cures (stiffens) when heated. It is used to improve the rigidity of the outer plate.
