Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2005097583A1] The body of station wagon-type motor vehicles that are provided with a large roof opening (16) tends to shake. In order to minimize shaking of the body, at least one foamed composite structure (30 to 80) is disposed in the joint zone of a rear column (1, 2) and another structural part of the body. Said foamed composite structure (30 to 80) comprises a basic element, some sections of which are coated with a foam material. The foam material expands and fills the hollow space in the joint zone in a stiffness-increasing manner by applying heat.
