<p>There is disclosed an assembly (10) and a method of using the assembly (10) for sealing, baffling and/or reinforcing components (16, 18) of an automotive vehicle. The assembly generally includes at least a first mass (24) of expandable material. Preferably, the first mass (24) is movably (e.g., rotatably) connected to a second mass (26) of material and/or another member (32). According to the method, the assembly (10) is placed in a cavity of an automotive vehicle and the at least one mass is activated to expand. Preferably, upon activation, the first mass (24) self adjusts by moving (e.g., rotating) relative to the second (26) mass and/or the other member (32). <IMAGE></p> |
