A structurally enhanced attachment (10) for use in reinforcing automotive assemblies. An expandable material (16), is disposed on a surface of an extrusion (12) with closed sections (14) prior to integration of the extrusi on (12) into the vehicle and final assembly of the vehicle by the vehicle manufacturer. The system is activated as the vehicle undergoes the final vehicle assembly process, which activates and transforms the expandable material (16), preferably during an automobile paint operation, to expand, bond and fill the rocker assembly structure thereby securing the extrusion (12) with the rocker assembly and facilitating enhanced structural reinforcement. |
