Generally speaking, during vehicle assembly, the windshield is installed first and sealed properly. For owners who aren't particular about appearance and just want to prevent cracking and dust entry, structural adhesive or glass glue can be directly applied. For owners with OCD tendencies, they can purchase ordinary "T-shaped" rubber seals online, remove the aged ones, and replace them with new ones.

What is the difference between C1D and C1?

The difference between C1D and C1 lies in the types of vehicles they permit to drive: The C1D license allows driving small and mini passenger cars, light and mini cargo trucks, light, small, and mini special operation vehicles, as well as three-wheeled motorcycles and two-wheeled motorcycles. The C1 license permits driving small and mini passenger cars, light and mini cargo trucks, and light, small, and mini special operation vehicles. In comparison, the C1D license covers a broader range of vehicle types. Validity period of the driver's license: Article 56 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" states: If a motor vehicle driver has not accumulated 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle during the six-year validity period of the motor vehicle driver's license, the license will be renewed to a ten-year validity period. If the driver has not accumulated 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle during the ten-year validity period, the license will be renewed to a long-term valid motor vehicle driver's license.

What Causes High-Speed Body Vibration in BMW 5 Series?

Reasons for BMW 5 Series vibration include: 1. Excessive Carbon Deposits: Severe carbon buildup in the engine cylinders can lead to spark plug blockage and valve clogging, directly causing vehicle vibration during idling; 2. Fuel Supply System Malfunction: Unstable fuel pressure can easily result in inconsistent air-fuel mixture concentration, not only causing vibration but also leading to unstable idling; 3. Aging Engine Mounts: This is also a very common cause of vibration. If the vehicle's engine vibration becomes increasingly severe without a corresponding loss of power, it may be due to worn engine mounts; 4. Misfiring Cylinder: This is the most common cause of engine vibration. The issue lies with the engine ignition coil or spark plugs. If the ignition coil malfunctions or the spark plugs fail to fire for some reason, the vehicle will experience vibration.

Where is the BMW moisture sensor located?

The air conditioning moisture sensor can monitor the humidity inside the vehicle. The sensor is located at the air conditioning intake vent of the car. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Introduction: A sensor is an instrument that can detect water temperature and water level, and convert the detected water temperature and water level into changing electrical signals. In the development history of solar water heaters, water temperature and water level sensors have always played a pivotal role. The intelligence and user-friendliness of water heaters are inseparable from water temperature and water level sensors, and water temperature and water level monitoring instruments are even more dependent on them. The stable operation of water temperature and water level sensors is a guarantee for the intelligent control of the entire water heater. The emergence of water temperature and water level sensors, from simple to complex, and the extension of their service life, are all inseparable from the efforts of solar energy professionals. 2. Applications: Widely used in water plants, oil refineries, chemical plants, glass factories, sewage treatment plants, high-rise building water supply systems, reservoirs, rivers, oceans, etc., for the measurement and control of static and dynamic liquid levels in water supply tanks, distribution tanks, water treatment tanks, wells, water tanks, oil wells, oil tanks, oil pools, and various other liquids.

Why can the air pump only reach 4 bars of pressure?

The reason the air pump can only reach 4 bars of pressure is due to the softening of the built-in spring plate in the air pump. Detailed reasons: Over time, the built-in spring plate in the air pump softens. When the air reservoir reaches a certain pressure, the softened spring plate cannot rebound due to the back pressure from the reservoir. This means the maximum pressure achievable with this issue is typically 4-6 kilograms. Replacing the spring plate: Replace the built-in spring plate in the air pump. If the air pump tube is clogged, it's easy to check by disconnecting the tube from the dryer. Start the air pump and observe if black smoke-like substances come out of the tube, indicating a blockage. Repairing air leaks: If there is a leak in one of the four circuits, the four-circuit protection valve will automatically close. This can be easily identified by checking the pressure gauge: if one needle reaches 6 bars while the other shows no pressure at all, there is a leak. The leaking area can then be repaired.

Is it necessary to replace traditional wipers with beam wipers?

Traditional wipers can be replaced with beam wipers, but it depends on the pressure of the wiper bracket of the vehicle model. For example, some Japanese cars have lower wiper bracket pressure, and if beam wipers are used, unclear wiping may occur over time. Different support points: Traditional wipers have multiple support points that are evenly distributed to support the wiper. In contrast, beam wipers only have a single support point in the middle. Beam wipers consist of a single long strip with a smooth curvature. Different noise levels: Beam wipers have a much lower wind resistance coefficient. When used at high speeds, they are much quieter, with almost no audible wiper noise. Traditional wipers, on the other hand, have more frames and occupy more space, resulting in noticeable noise when operating at high speeds. Other aspects: Beam wipers are easier to install and less prone to damage, but they are more expensive. Traditional wipers, however, are more effective at cleaning larger debris.
