  • Motor vehicle having a roof
    Publication number: 20070018483
    Abstract: Motor vehicles designed as station wagons having a large roof opening have a tendency toward body shaking. To minimize body shaking, at least one foam composite component is provided in the node region of a rear pillar and an additional body structural component. The foam composite component includes a base body which is coated in places with a foam material. As the result of heat treatment the foam material expands and fills the cavity in the node region in a manner which increases rigidity.
