How to Adjust the Car Tailgate Latch?

Car tailgate latches have screw slots that allow for fine adjustments. Here is relevant information: 1. Avoid slamming the door: During daily driving, do not close the door too forcefully. Some car owners believe that only by slamming the door can it be securely closed, but in fact, slamming the door can cause damage to the car. Long-term forceful opening and closing of the door can lead to severe paint peeling around the door, aging of the vehicle's internal systems, wiring disconnections, and reduced seat flexibility. 2. Crash performance: The quality of the door directly affects the vehicle's daily driving performance and safety structure, mainly reflected in the door's crash performance, sealing performance, ease of opening and closing, and of course, other functional indicators.

I've fixed my car's tailgate several times, and adjusting the latch is actually quite simple without needing major work. My tailgate often makes strange noises or doesn't close properly, so I grab a wrench or socket wrench, open the tailgate, and locate the bolts securing the latch—usually two obvious screw holes. Loosen the bolts but don't unscrew them completely, then gently move the latch up or down by about a millimeter and test closing the door to see if it locks smoothly. If not, repeat the adjustment a few times, remembering to use light movements—no excessive force. Once adjusted, tighten the bolts to secure the position. It's best to wear gloves during the process to prevent slipping and keep things clean, avoiding dust getting into the locking mechanism. After adjusting, spray some lubricant on the moving parts of the latch to reduce friction and extend its lifespan. Doing it myself feels time-saving and cost-effective while improving vehicle safety—the door closes tightly without worrying about shaking while driving. The tools are simple and usually available at home, taking only about ten minutes. Just remember that details vary by car model, so check the manual or video references.

Which is better, DCT or AT transmission?

AT transmissions and DCT transmissions each have their own advantages and disadvantages. Both dual-clutch and manual-automatic transmissions are currently popular automatic transmissions, but these two types of transmissions have different characteristics, just like the different working styles of different people. Cars with manual-automatic and dual-clutch transmissions differ in terms of power acceleration, convenience, and technology. More details about DCT and AT transmissions are as follows: 1. Introduction one: The role of the dual-clutch is to eliminate the power transmission stagnation during gear shifting. It is mostly used in sports cars. With a regular clutch, when you press the clutch to shift gears, the power is cut off, causing stagnation, whereas the dual-clutch does not or has a very short stagnation time. Manual-automatic transmission combines the manual and automatic shifting methods of a car, meaning you can either just press the accelerator for automatic shifting or manually shift gears. 2. Introduction two: The advantage of manual-automatic transmission is that it allows for relaxed driving while also recovering some driving pleasure. The disadvantage is poor fuel economy. Ordinary manual-automatic transmissions are developed from traditional automatic transmissions. These transmissions have prominent +/- signs, and the driver can switch to this position for manual gear shifting. However, the manual mode of ordinary manual-automatic transmissions cannot be compared to manual transmissions in terms of response speed, and the improvement in driving pleasure is very limited.

What are the tire requirements for the 2021 annual inspection?

2021 annual inspection tire requirements include checking the tread depth of the tires during the inspection. Below is an introduction to the latest 2021 annual inspection regulations: 1. Cancelled items: Power performance test, interior noise test, electronic parking brake test, headlight deviation test, suspension test, speedometer error test. Among these, the exhaust emission test was basically performed by the inspector flooring the accelerator. However, starting next year, the vehicle power test will be replaced with an OBD test, which is more convenient and less harmful to the vehicle. Tests like suspension and speedometer error have been cancelled as they are deemed unnecessary due to industrial advancements and improved vehicle quality. 2. Newly added items: Tire tread depth test, vehicle wheelbase test, and vehicle lifting device. The tire tread depth test will have a relatively significant impact on car owners, as many do not have the habit of regularly changing tires and continue to use aged tires, which reduces the friction between the tires and the road, increasing the risk of skidding and other dangerous situations. Under the new standards, the tread depth of tires will be checked during the annual inspection, and if the tires are severely worn and the depth does not meet the standard, the vehicle will fail the inspection.

What should I pay attention to when taking a long-distance bus?

Things to pay attention to when taking a long-distance bus are as follows: 1. Find a comfortable seat: Book your ticket in advance or arrange for a comfortable seat through acquaintances, as the limited space in the bus can make crowding uncomfortable. It's best to choose a seat you prefer. 2. Avoid strong-smelling areas: Since long-distance sleeper buses have toilets that are difficult to flush, try to stay as far away from them as possible. 3. Be cautious with valuables: As it's a crowded area, make sure to keep your wallet and valuables secure to prevent theft by potential criminals. 4. Prepare snacks to avoid hunger: Long-distance buses usually stop at fixed rest service areas for meals. While the driver eats for free, even if delayed by traffic, the bus will still aim to reach that service area. So, bring your own food just in case. 5. Beware of sexual harassment: Many men may leer at attractive or scantily clad women, and there's no telling what they might do. 6. Pay attention to safety: Since the bus is driven by a human, there's a chance of fatigued driving. Always be mindful of your safety.

Is it okay not to apply film on the car's front windshield?

It is completely acceptable not to apply film. The car's front windshield has a laminated interlayer in the middle, which is designed for explosion-proof purposes. Moreover, modern front windshields generally come with UV protection and heat insulation functions. During the initial design of the front windshield, designers had already considered UV protection, making the application of film on the front windshield largely unnecessary. The benefits of car window film are as follows: 1. Heat insulation and sun protection: The film can effectively block a large amount of heat generated by infrared rays. 2. UV protection: When selecting a front windshield film, the higher the UV resistance index, the better, as it can protect the dashboard components from premature aging due to prolonged sun exposure and also shield the skin of the vehicle occupants from harm. 3. Creating a private space: By choosing the appropriate type, the film usually makes it difficult to see inside the car from the outside while allowing clear visibility from the inside, thus maintaining privacy and safety. 4. Reducing air conditioning consumption: The front windshield is the main heat source radiation area that raises the temperature inside the car. Applying film can improve the driving environment and reduce the energy consumption of the air conditioning, leading to a certain degree of fuel savings. 5. Preventing injuries from glass shattering: The base layer of the film is made of polyester, which has excellent tear and puncture resistance. Combined with the adhesive layer of the film, the strengthened glass can prevent injuries to the driver and passengers in case of accidental glass breakage.
