foam arch sound insulation

[mkviken]

th new ones have a kind of skin on them but its not fully water proof it seems.

maybe something like that would work but maybe it would just flake off?

it should be made out of polystyrene like the insulation under the bonnet IMO.

I thought that sponge was to help soak up water to prevent ice build up behind the door causing the problem that happened on the MK5 in cold countries.
With ice formed behind the leading edge of the door there was nowhere for the door to go when you opened it so it bent.

Mk5 in harsh climates have a hole were the mk6 foams can he seen.
The foam if it sokes up water will freeze too.
If it did not soke up water it would flex and give to allow somewere for the ice to go.

Sorry I'm a little lost, why does it matter that it soaks up water?

Just asking.

It's the potential for corrosion inside the wing if the foams hold water.
