Deleting your HVAC system leaves a large hole in the firewall. This aluminum panel is sized and shaped to block off the hole. In addition to the fire-blocking purpose, the panel also helps to seal out fumes and other gases that can make their way from the engine bay to the cabin.
This panel is riveted to the firewall for a secure and semi-permanent installation. Rivets are included. Silicone sealant should also be used between firewall and panel to improve the seal. We used extra rivets to ensure a tight seal.
For E46, we also recommend ordering our Heater Core Delete Kit (Part# 100.64.546.0003). See below for BimmerWorld recommended related items.
