A structural member (160) includes one or more walls (162) that define a cavity (170). A system (100) for reinforcing the cavity (170) includes a substantially rigid carrier (120) configured to reside in the cavity (170). The carrier includes a pathway (125) disposed in the carrier (120) that provides an aperture between an exterior surface (123) of the carrier and an interior surface of the carrier (124). An adhesive (140) is disposed in a gap (152) between at least a portion of the exterior surface (123) of the carrier (120) and the wall (162) of the structural member (160). The adhesive (140) is disposed proximate to the pathway (125).
