Car door seals should be replaced every 3 to 4 years. The functions of the seals are: noise reduction, waterproofing, and windproofing. The car door consists of the door body, door accessories, and interior trim panels. Its functions are: to provide access for the driver and passengers, isolate external disturbances, and to some extent, protect occupants from side impacts. The design requirements for car doors are: 1. Ensure convenient entry and exit for passengers, with an opening angle controlled at around 65 to 70 degrees; 2. During the opening process, there should be no interference with other parts; 3. The door should lock securely when closed and not open on its own while driving; 4. Have good sealing performance; 5. Have a large transparent area to meet lateral visibility requirements; 6. Have sufficient strength and rigidity to ensure reliable door operation, reduce door vibrations, improve vehicle side collision safety, and prevent door sagging.

How long after drinking a 330ml beer can you drive?

It takes 8 to 12 hours to drive after drinking a 330ml beer, because studies have shown that drinking a beer can detect a blood alcohol content of about 40mg to 60mg, which is an illegal act of drunk driving. The human body's ability to metabolize alcohol is limited, generally only 10 to 15 milliliters of alcohol can be metabolized per hour, so under normal circumstances, it takes about 8 to 12 hours for the alcohol in a beer to completely dissipate and return to a normal state. Methods to quickly reduce alcohol content in the body are as follows: 1. Take a shower: After drinking, you can take a hot shower to promote blood circulation, which helps metabolize the alcohol content in the body. 2. Exercise: If the alcohol content is not very high, you can promote blood circulation through exercise, which can also quickly reduce alcohol content. However, if you are too drunk or dizzy, this method is not suitable. 3. Drink more water: You can drink more water, or drink some milk and honey, which can effectively sober up.

Will Car Paint Bubbles Disappear After Sun Exposure?

No. Here is the relevant content introduction: 1. Treatment method: Car paint bubbling is caused by inferior paint combined with poor workmanship, where the metal surface wasn't properly treated or rust-proof primer wasn't applied during painting. It should be addressed promptly. Make sure the technician thoroughly sands away all rusted areas before applying a rust-proof primer, followed by color paint. Ideally, a clear coat should be applied over the color paint to ensure durability. 2. Paint maintenance methods: (1) After vehicle use: Promptly remove dust from the car body to minimize static electricity's attraction of dust. (2) Wash the car promptly after rain: Rainwater contains many acidic substances and dust. Rain spots on the car will gradually shrink, increasing the concentration of acidic substances in the rainwater. Combined with dust in rainwater forming rain spots, if not rinsed off with clean water promptly, over time it will damage the car's paint surface.

How Many Years Until a Car is Mandatorily Scrapped?

Currently, there is no clear scrapping period for household cars. Vehicles aged 1-6 years require inspection every two years, those aged 6-15 years need annual inspections, and vehicles over 15 years old must be inspected every six months. As long as the inspection is passed, the car can continue to be driven on the road. Here is additional information about car scrapping: Relevant regulations: Since May 1, 2013, new regulations have been implemented for the scrapping of old vehicles. The scrapping period for private cars has been abolished, with a maximum mileage of 600,000 kilometers for mandatory scrapping. Documents required for scrapping: Copy of resident ID card (for private cars), copy of the enterprise organization code certificate with official seal (for company cars), "Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate", "Motor Vehicle Driving License", application form for motor vehicle registration, transfer, cancellation/transfer, power of attorney (to be filled out), and the motor vehicle itself.

Is it biennial inspection after 6-year exemption?

Yes, after 6 years, the vehicle inspection reform changes to biennial inspection. However, not all vehicles are reformed to biennial inspection, and there are corresponding age limits for the reform. The specific details are as follows: Biennial inspection: The regulations indicate that for non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles aged 6-10 years, the annual inspection cycle is adjusted from the original annual inspection to biennial inspection. Exemption: Non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles with 7-9 seats will be included in the exemption scope. This means that for non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles with 7-9 seats whose inspection period falls after November 20, 2020, if they meet the conditions, they can participate in the annual inspection according to the new policy. Vehicles within 6 years can enjoy the exemption policy and simply apply for the inspection compliance label as per regulations.

Won't the fuel tank cap be stolen if it opens with a press?

The fuel tank cap won't be stolen when it opens with a press because the fuel tank cap has a key and is secured with a chain lock. The fuel tank is locked inside, and the switch is located near the driver's seat, making the fuel tank very safe. The fuel tank cap's one-press opening is safe and reliable. Firstly, it enhances security, and secondly, if the fuel level is too low, it increases the workload on the fuel pump. Many parts of the car are easy to open, but this is usually only possible after the car is unlocked. Once the car is locked, it becomes like a large cage, making it difficult to open from the outside. Additionally, improper actions can trigger the car alarm, which is part of the car's security measures. When refueling the vehicle, it's also important to choose times with lower temperatures, such as early morning or evening in the summer, as temperatures are relatively lower during these periods, minimizing the effects of thermal expansion and contraction. Gasoline evaporation is also minimal. Avoid filling the tank too full during regular refueling, as overfilling places a heavy burden on the car, negatively affecting its performance and even shortening its lifespan. Moreover, if the car is not driven frequently, the fuel left inside may degrade and lose its effectiveness.
