Hail that is small in size, such as the size of a soybean, will not cause damage to the car. However, larger hailstones with significant weight can damage the vehicle. Below is relevant information: 1. Precautions: In the event of hail weather, try to drive the car to a sheltered area, preferably parking it in an underground parking lot. If the car is parked outdoors, you can cover it with a blanket to minimize damage. When there is no place to hide from hail, quickly move to the back seat of the car to avoid injury from shattered front windshield glass. 2. Insurance Claims: Hail damage is covered under the vehicle damage insurance provided by insurance companies. Any car owner who has purchased vehicle damage insurance can file a claim with the insurance company if their vehicle is damaged by hail.

Can You Get License Plates at a 4S Store?

You can get license plates at a 4S store. After purchasing a vehicle, consumers do not need to go to the vehicle management office for registration. They can handle all vehicle-related services on-site at the 4S store, including vehicle sales, insurance purchases, and license plate selection. The required materials for license plate registration include: vehicle certification, triplicate invoice, purchase tax certificate, original ID card, and photocopy. For non-local residents, a temporary residence permit (original and photocopy) is also required. Details are as follows: Vehicle Certification: The vehicle certification is crucial and mandatory for license plate registration. When purchasing a vehicle, be sure to confirm with the 4S store whether the vehicle certification will be delivered with the vehicle or the expected delivery time to avoid delays in license plate registration due to late delivery of the certification. Keep the Triplicate Invoice: After purchasing the vehicle, the 4S store will issue a triplicate invoice. Be sure to keep it safe, as it will be needed for subsequent license plate registration. The invoice consists of red, yellow, and blue copies. Generally, the red and yellow copies need to be submitted, while the yellow copy should be kept by the buyer. Pay the Vehicle Purchase Tax and Obtain the Tax Certificate: After purchasing the vehicle, promptly pay the vehicle purchase tax at the nearest vehicle management office. Once the tax is paid, you will receive the original and duplicate tax certificates, which should be kept safe. Register and Inspect the Vehicle at the Vehicle Management Office: Once all procedures are complete, you can go to the vehicle management office to apply for a license plate. A specialized traffic police officer will inspect the vehicle, primarily checking the vehicle identification code, appearance, and warning triangle. Be sure to prepare these in advance. New Vehicle License Plate Selection Methods: "Self-Selection": Submit the self-selected license plate confirmation voucher and payment invoice to the vehicle management office business hall to complete the license and certificate procedures. You will then receive the vehicle license, registration certificate, inspection qualification mark, and temporary license plate. "Online Selection": Submit the online self-selected license plate confirmation voucher and payment invoice to the vehicle management office business hall to complete the license and certificate procedures. You will then receive the vehicle license, registration certificate, inspection qualification mark, and temporary license plate. "Random Selection (10 Choose 1)": Submit the selection slip printed by the system and the payment invoice to the vehicle management office business hall to complete the license and certificate procedures. You will then receive the vehicle license, registration certificate, and inspection qualification mark. Afterward, go to the license plate installation area to collect and install the plate. License Plate Selection Rules on the Traffic Police 12123 App: The pre-selection period is from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM daily. You have 20 chances to self-select a number, and only number segments released over 7 days ago are eligible for self-selection. Random selection allows 5 attempts, each displaying 10 numbers with a 90-second selection time per batch. You can first check online whether your desired number has already been registered to avoid wasting a self-selection opportunity. Note down the released number segments, but remember that numbers released within the last 7 days can only be selected randomly, not self-selected. You can start with random selection, which is faster and still offers a good chance of getting a desirable number. Each batch has a 90-second display time. If random selection does not yield a satisfactory number, you can then try self-selection. Self-selected numbers follow a specific sequence. If your first self-selected number is available, you can directly claim it. Pay attention to the order of self-selected numbers.

How to Solve Windshield Fogging in Summer?

Press the defog button, turn on the air conditioning (A/C) switch, set the temperature to the lowest, and switch to external circulation to defog. Both cold and warm air can be used to defog car windows, but warm air is slower than cold air. The most effective method is to use cold air, which blows dry cold air directly onto the glass, preventing water vapor from condensing on the glass and achieving defogging. The method for defogging with warm air is the same as with cold air, but note that warm air should not be used on rainy days as it may initially worsen fogging. Always use external circulation when defogging car windows. The causes of car window fogging: There is a temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car. If the temperatures inside and outside are different, the surface with the lower temperature will have a lower saturation vapor pressure than the surrounding environment, causing water vapor to condense on the glass surface in tiny droplets, forming fog. Methods to defog car windows: Air Conditioning Cooling: Use the air conditioning's dehumidification function to reduce air humidity and remove fog. In summer, especially when multiple people enter the car and the air conditioning is not turned on promptly, the exhaled air has high humidity, quickly causing the windshield to fog up. In this case, turn on the air conditioning to blow cold air onto the windshield, using its dehumidification function to quickly remove fog. If the humidity is too high and the air conditioning is ineffective, slightly open the windows to rapidly reduce the humidity inside the cabin. Combining this with the air conditioning will yield faster results. Air Conditioning Warm Air: Use the method of reducing the temperature difference to defog. In winter, blowing warm air onto the glass quickly raises the temperature of the windshield, reducing the temperature difference between the inside and outside surfaces and preventing excessive fogging. However, note that the rear and side windows heat up more slowly, so it takes longer to completely remove fog. Whether the air conditioning is automatic or manual, turning it on helps with dehumidification. Avoid setting the temperature to the coldest position, as prolonged use may cause fogging on the outer surface of the windshield. Applying Anti-Fog Agents for Prevention: Spray a small amount of defogging agent onto the car windows and wipe it clean to remove dirt and stains. While polishing the glass, a thin transparent protective film forms, effectively preventing water vapor from condensing and forming fog, especially useful in cold winters. Alternatives to defogging agents include dish soap, soapy water, glycerin, alcohol, or saltwater. After applying, let it dry and then wipe off excess residue with a chamois or soft dry cloth. This can keep the windows fog-free for several days. Opening Windows for Airflow: If the fog inside the car is not severe, opening both side windows allows air to circulate between the inside and outside, reducing the temperature difference and gradually eliminating fog. This method works on the same principle as using cold air from the air conditioning. However, opening windows has obvious drawbacks and cannot be used during rain, snow, on highways, or when fog is heavy. Rear Windshield Heating: Most cars have a rear windshield heating function, though the button location may vary. Turning on the heating switch will clear the fog on the rear windshield in about a minute.
