I remember feeling quite nervous the first time I cleaned my windshield wiper blades myself. The steps are actually quite simple: First, lift the wiper arm away from the glass, then use a soft cloth soaked in warm water to moisten the entire rubber blade, especially the side that contacts the glass. Take an old toothbrush, dip it in some mild dish soap, and gently scrub along the direction of the rubber blade to remove oil film and dust from the grooves. After rinsing, avoid using hot air to dry; just use a dry towel to absorb the water. I usually take the opportunity to check if the rubber blade has any cracks or deformities—if it’s severely hardened, I replace it directly. It’s also important to park away from direct sunlight. Doing this once a month can extend the wiper’s lifespan by about half a year, and the clarity during rain is just amazing.

What Causes the Fuel Gauge Needle on a Motorcycle Dashboard to Stop Moving?

If the fuel gauge needle on a motorcycle dashboard stops moving, it could be due to issues with the fuel float, problems with the fuel gauge wiring, or a faulty sensor. Fuel float issues: For older motorcycles, this is likely a problem with the fuel float, also known as the fuel level sensor. Check if the fuel level sensor plug on the fuel tank is loose, oxidized, or burnt. Observe whether the fuel level sensor sliding process is stuck. Fuel gauge wiring problems: If the fuel level sensor is functioning properly, the issue might lie with the fuel gauge wiring on the dashboard. In this case, remove the dashboard and use a multimeter and a pin to test the corresponding fuel gauge wiring. Faulty sensor: If the fuel gauge on a new motorcycle suddenly drops to zero and remains stationary, it indicates a faulty sensor. You can directly contact the 4S store for a replacement.

Can You Drive with a Flat Front Tire on a Small Car?

A small car with a flat front tire should not be driven. Symptoms of a flat tire: The steering wheel becomes heavy: The increased contact area between the tire and the road results in greater friction, making it harder to steer and causing the steering wheel to feel heavier; Vehicle imbalance: If a tire is flat, you can clearly feel the car tilting to one side; Reduced speed: The car's speed noticeably decreases, and acceleration becomes more difficult than usual; Unusual noises: A flat tire will produce a rhythmic thumping sound while driving. How to handle a flat tire: If only one tire is flat, you can choose to replace it with the spare tire and then visit a repair shop. If you have tire sealant in the car, you can use it to temporarily fix the tire. If there is no spare tire, the best solution is to call for roadside assistance to arrange a tow truck or request mobile tire repair services.

What car has four round taillights?

Many cars feature four round taillights, such as the Nissan GT-R R35, Corvette, Bugatti, Ferrari 612, etc. Composition of car taillights: Brake lights: Brake lights consist of left and right brake lights (two) and a high-mounted stop lamp (one). Brake lights signal to vehicles behind that the car is slowing down or stopping, allowing following vehicles to prepare in advance. The high-mounted stop lamp is usually installed at the upper part of the rear to make it easier for vehicles behind to notice the braking of the vehicle ahead, helping to prevent rear-end collisions. Its purpose is to warn vehicles behind, thus avoiding rear-end accidents. Reverse lights: Reverse lights automatically turn on when the driver shifts into reverse gear. They are transparent and primarily serve as a warning signal and provide illumination at night. Reflectors/strips: Located within the rear lights, they reflect light. When light from a vehicle behind hits them, regardless of the angle, it is reflected back to the driver behind, serving as a warning. Rear turn signals: Located within the rear lights, they flash to indicate the car's turning direction. Design principles of car taillights: They must have sufficient luminous intensity so that the taillight signals can be clearly discerned by other drivers or pedestrians even in bright daylight. During nighttime driving, the light emitted by the taillights should not cause glare or discomfort to other drivers or pedestrians.

How Long Can You Drive with a Cracked Windshield?

The cracked windshield can still be driven, but there is no exact time for how long it can last. The functions of the windshield: The car's windshield can reduce the interference and generation of crosswinds; it can also prevent raindrops, dust, and other small particles from entering the car; it provides a survival space for passengers. When impacted and shattered, the glass breaks into small pieces with blunt edges, minimizing harm to the occupants. Maintenance of the car windshield: Proper use of windshield washer fluid—in daily maintenance, choose the appropriate windshield washer fluid based on the season and weather; applying window film—as the weather warms up, the role of windshield film becomes particularly evident, not only protecting against summer sunlight but also providing heat insulation and UV protection; obtaining glass insurance—glass breakage insurance means that the insurance company is responsible for compensating for losses due to broken car glass during the use of the insured vehicle. In case of car glass breakage, a separate commercial insurance can be purchased. Glass breakage refers to the complete damage of only the windshield and window glass (excluding headlights and rearview mirror glass) of the insured vehicle.
