Why is the car sunroof leaking into the cabin?

The reasons for water leakage from the car sunroof into the cabin are: blockage of the sunroof drainage pipe or poor sealing of the sunroof rubber gasket. It is recommended to check if the car sunroof has this issue. Additionally, the drainage pipe is divided into two sections. If the sunroof leaks into the cabin, it might be due to blockage causing water to seep into the cabin from the joint between the two sections. Other reasons for water leakage from the car sunroof into the cabin: 1. Rain entering through an unclosed window during rainy days. If the driver does not confirm whether the windows are tightly closed after exiting the vehicle, rainwater may drift into various parts of the car through the loosely closed windows. Over time, water will drip under the car's cabin. 2. Issues with the drainage outlets. After ruling out human factors, if water still drips under the car's cabin, the vehicle's drainage outlets should be checked. The car has four drainage outlets: the front two are for sunroof drainage, and the rear two are for draining water flowing on the car. 3. Long-term accumulation of debris blocking the drainage outlets, especially in vehicles with sunroofs, as opening the sunroof makes it easier for debris to accumulate and cause leaks.

Why Do Both Drivers and Passengers Need to Wear Seat Belts?

When a car is moving at high speed, sudden braking can cause the vehicle to stop abruptly, while the front-seat passengers continue moving forward due to inertia, potentially causing injuries to both the driver and passengers. Therefore, it is essential for both drivers and passengers to use seat belts. Below are some key precautions for seat belt usage: 1. Regularly inspect the seat belt. When pulling the belt down slowly by hand, it should smoothly extend from the retractor. Press the release button to detach it after use. Additionally, ensure all bolts securing the seat belt are tightened, and apply sealant around them. 2. Wear the seat belt correctly. The three-point lap belt should be worn as low as possible, across the hips, not the waist. The shoulder belt should not be placed under the arm but should cross the chest diagonally. Seat belts are designed for single-person use only; sharing is strictly prohibited. 3. Do not remove or modify the seat belt arbitrarily. If a seat belt has been subjected to a strong stretching force, it should be replaced immediately, even if no visible damage is present. When not in use, avoid careless handling or storage. 4. Clean the seat belt carefully. For dirty seat belts, use a mild soap and water solution with a cloth or sponge for cleaning. Avoid dyes and bleach, as they can corrode the belt and reduce its tensile strength. Also, refrain from using hard brushes to prevent damage.

Will You Be Fined and Penalized for Following Too Closely on the Highway?

The new traffic regulations stipulate that following too closely on the highway will result in a fine. If a car is driving on the highway in non-congested conditions at a speed of 100 km/h, the distance to the vehicle in front must be maintained at least 100 meters. For speeds below 100 km/h, the distance should be at least 50 meters. Failure to comply with these rules will lead to a fine. Below are common traffic violations: 1. Running a red light: This is the most common traffic violation. According to the new traffic regulations, running a red light results in a 6-point deduction. 2. Driving without a license: If a driver continues to drive while their license is suspended, they will be fined and detained for 15 days. Driving without a valid license or with a revoked license will result in 15 days of detention and a fine. 3. Overloading or overcapacity: For passenger vehicles exceeding the rated capacity by less than 20% or cargo vehicles exceeding the rated load by less than 30%, a fine will be imposed. Exceeding these limits will result in higher fines. 4. Drunk driving: Driving under the influence of alcohol will result in a 3-month suspension of the driver's license and a fine. Driving a commercial vehicle under the influence will also result in a 3-month suspension and a fine. 5. Speeding: Exceeding the speed limit by 50% or more will result in a fine and revocation of the driver's license.

Why does a motorcycle suddenly lose power when accelerating?

Motorcycle acceleration issues are generally related to the carburetor. Motorcycle cold and warm conditions: It's relatively normal for a cold motorcycle to have acceleration issues. Incomplete combustion when cold can cause power loss. When starting a cold engine, use the choke and let it warm up for a while before riding to solve the problem. For warm engines experiencing acceleration issues, you should separately inspect and clean the air filter and carburetor, check if the spark plug is functioning properly, whether the valve clearance is too small, if there are any air leaks in the intake pipe, if the gasoline quality is poor, or if the exhaust pipe is clogged. Issues to note with motorcycle fuel tanks: Motorcycle fuel tanks generally have poorer sealing than car tanks. After being exposed to rain outdoors, water can easily enter the tank. Since fuel is lighter than water, water can accumulate at the bottom of the tank. When refueling in this condition, it can lead to a mixture of water, fuel, and ethanol, causing the motorcycle to fail to start or stall unexpectedly. Motorcycle fuel tanks have two fuel outlets (main and reserve) controlled by a valve. Normally, fuel is drawn from the main outlet, which has a specific fuel level in the tank. Once the fuel level drops below this point, the main outlet can no longer draw fuel, and the valve must be switched to the reserve outlet to draw fuel from the bottom of the tank. This design serves to remind the rider that the fuel level is low and requires timely refueling.

Will the 4S shop help with touch-up painting during maintenance?

4S shops can perform touch-up painting during maintenance. However, touch-up painting at a 4S shop is not free and incurs a charge. Generally, touch-up painting is calculated based on the entire panel where the scratch is located. But if the damage is minor and not very noticeable, the 4S shop might apply a small touch-up for free. Below are some methods for protecting your car's paint: 1. Waxing: Waxing can be done directly or after polishing. Direct waxing involves cleaning the car body and applying wax directly to the clear coat on the surface of the paint. Polishing and waxing, on the other hand, requires using a polishing machine to polish the paint surface before applying wax. This method can instantly make the car shine. 2. Glazing: Due to the composition of the glaze, it is not resistant to acid and alkali cleaning and can be easily damaged. It typically lasts only 1 to 3 months. Moreover, glazing can harm the car's paint, requiring reapplication every two to three months. 3. Crystal Coating: Crystal coating is a hard protective layer specifically designed for key areas of the car, such as the paint surface, seats, interior and exterior trim, glass, and tires. It comes in fast-drying and slow-drying types, mainly determined by its primary components. 4. Film Application: Car coating is a highly effective protective measure that can brighten the paint surface while also providing multiple benefits such as resistance to acids and alkalis, high temperature resistance, strong waterproofing, oxidation resistance, and UV protection.
