This meringue substance. What would be the reason for webasto putting this on?
Also, could the sm resistors be replaced with normal ones for those of us that have poor soldering skills?

I think the sealant substance is put on by Webasto to hold the upright capacitors firmly in place. The taller capacitors could possibly 'vibrate' with all the vibrations created by road surfaces/ engine resonance etc . Could be wrong though!
