Car heater can remove fog. After the water temperature returns to normal, turn on the heater, set the air circulation to external circulation to let outside air in, reduce the temperature difference inside and outside the glass, and eliminate the fog inside the window. Then switch to internal circulation to evaporate the fog. Turn the air conditioning temperature adjustment button to the heating direction, and the air direction button to the windshield vent. At this time, the hot air will blow directly onto the front windshield. This defogging method won't cause repeated fogging because the hot air dries all the moisture on the glass. However, when there is a large temperature difference inside and outside the window, fog may still form on the window glass. When the car has just started, the engine's water temperature is quite low. Turning on the heater at this time not only fails to defog but also adds burden to the engine and increases fuel consumption.

What Causes the Squeaking Noise from the Sunroof Seal?

The squeaking noise from the sunroof seal may be caused by aging of the seal, which requires timely replacement. Definition of a Car Sunroof: A car sunroof is installed on the roof of the vehicle and effectively promotes air circulation inside the car, allowing fresh air to enter. Additionally, a sunroof can provide a broader view and meet the needs of mobile photography and videography. Benefits of a Car Sunroof: While opening the side windows can also facilitate air exchange, a sunroof changes the traditional method of ventilation. When the sunroof is opened, wind creates a flow of air that draws out stale air from the cabin. During high-speed driving, air flows rapidly around the car. When the sunroof is opened, an area of low pressure forms outside the vehicle. Due to the difference in air pressure inside and outside the car, the stale air inside is drawn out, achieving the purpose of ventilation and ensuring the cabin remains filled with fresh air.
