Clean the inner side of the car rearview mirror with a damp towel and let it dry. Confirm the orientation of the left and right rain guards, then position them on the rearview mirror. After confirming the position, peel off the covering of the 3M double-sided tape. Align the rain guard to the correct position, press firmly to ensure full adhesion, and complete the installation.

When I first started learning about car accessories, I was completely confused about installing rain guards and found it quite troublesome. After trying it myself a few times, I realized you need to first clean the upper edge of the window with a damp cloth to remove dust and grease, then wait a few minutes for it to dry completely. Next, take out the rain guard, position it properly against the outer frame at the top of the window. Peel off the protective film from the adhesive backing, quickly align and press it into place from the center outward, making sure every part sticks firmly. The first time I didn't wait for the adhesive to set properly before driving, and it fell off halfway—so frustrating! Now I choose a dry day to install them, doing it while parked, and wait at least half a day before rolling down the windows. Don't forget to check the quality of the adhesive strips—poor ones can age quickly and cause air leaks. With rain guards installed, you can crack the window slightly for ventilation during rain without the interior getting damp, saving you from using the AC and fuel—perfect for city traffic jams. Personally, I think it gets easier with practice; the key is not to rush it.

What does the battery symbol on the car dashboard mean when it rains?

When the battery symbol appears on the car dashboard during rain, it indicates an engine issue. Below is relevant information about the car dashboard: 1. Introduction to the car dashboard: With advancements in electronic technology and the emergence of new sensors and electronic display components, electronic car dashboards have been rapidly adopted. Common indicators include the fuel indicator, washer fluid indicator, electronic throttle indicator, front and rear fog light indicators, and warning lights. 2. Function of the car dashboard: The car dashboard serves as a device that reflects the working conditions of various vehicle systems. It continuously monitors the car's status, provides the driver with necessary operational parameter information, and serves as a crucial interface for communication between the driver and the vehicle.

How Far Can a Car Go When the Fuel Tank Light Turns Yellow?

When the fuel tank light comes on, a conservative estimate is that the car can travel a minimum of 30 kilometers, with the general range being between 30 to 60 kilometers. Below is relevant information about gas stations: 1. Introduction to Gas Stations: A gas station is a retail facility that provides gasoline and oil for cars and other motor vehicles, typically offering fuel oil, lubricants, etc. 2. Precautions at Gas Stations: Due to the flammable, explosive, volatile, leak-prone, and static-prone nature of petroleum products sold at gas stations, safety is the top priority. Open flames are strictly prohibited at gas stations, as are any activities that may generate sparks. It is forbidden to add gasoline to a car's carburetor or oil drum. All vehicles must turn off their engines before refueling, and any hazardous materials are strictly prohibited from entering the station.

Is it okay to idle the engine above 6000 RPM?

Short periods of idling at high RPM generally have minimal impact. However, prolonged neutral gear revving can cause severe incomplete combustion. If this unburned fuel-air mixture ignites outside the combustion chamber, it may lead to vehicle self-ignition. Additionally, incomplete combustion more readily produces carbon deposits that can clog the catalytic converter, causing abnormal overheating. Such high temperatures may result in wiring fires with serious consequences. Manufacturers implement rev limiters precisely to prevent excessive engine RPM during neutral revving. Without these protective measures, engines could indeed exceed 10,000 RPM. For modern passenger car engines, the maximum power output typically occurs between 5,500-6,500 RPM. Exceeding this range significantly accelerates wear on engine friction components.

How to Determine the Production Year of a Car?

The VIN code of a car can be seen in the lower left corner of the front windshield. This identifier is equivalent to the car's ID card, containing extensive information about the vehicle. For example, it includes details about the manufacturer, year, model, body type, engine code, assembly location, and more. With such detailed information, it is certainly possible to understand the car's specifics. The 10th digit indicates the production year of the car, although this number is often not the actual production date, but it generally does not exceed one year. On the same vehicle, all time-related identifiers should be consistent, and even if there is a slight discrepancy, it should not be significant. Normally, the manufacturing dates of the car's glass, tires, and the car itself should not differ by more than six months, and the dates for the tires and glass should match. If there is a noticeable difference, it suggests that these parts were replaced later. If the glass was replaced, it likely indicates an accident occurred. If the tires were replaced, it might be due to damage or excessive wear from high mileage.

Where is the fog light switch generally located in a car?

Lever-type switches are located on the lever to the left of the steering wheel, while button-type switches are generally found on the car's center console. Below is relevant information about defogging: 1. Causes of interior fogging: The main reason for interior fogging is temperature difference. When the interior temperature is higher than the exterior, windows are prone to fogging. Another factor is high humidity inside the vehicle combined with warm air exhaled by passengers, which condenses upon contact with cold glass, leading to window fogging. 2. Best methods for handling interior fogging: The quickest and most effective method is to turn on the air conditioning's cold air. By activating the AC cooling function along with the external circulation, fog on the windows should disappear in less than a minute. During autumn or winter, using the heater to blow on the windshield is recommended.

What Causes the Sunroof Leakage in Volkswagen Tiguan L?

Solutions for Volkswagen Tiguan L Sunroof Leakage: 1. Regularly clean the drainage outlets; approximately once a year, clean the nipple of the drainage outlet. 2. Alternatively, you can cut off the nipple of the drainage outlet, which can resolve the issue permanently. There are three common reasons for sunroof leakage: 1. The sunroof drainage outlet is clogged, causing rainwater to accumulate and gradually seep into the car; 2. The sunroof sealing strip is damaged, leading to poor sealing and allowing rainwater to enter the car; 3. There are gaps in the sunroof frame, causing rainwater to seep into the car, which usually occurs during heavy rain. According to after-sales service advice, you can systematically eliminate these factors. First, check for water stains on the ceiling near the sunroof. If there are no water stains, you can preliminarily rule out reasons 2 and 3. Then, determine whether the first reason is the cause. Find a clean surface, open the sunroof, and pour water from a bottle into the grooves around the sunroof to observe whether the water drains smoothly. If the water does not drain smoothly, and no water or only slow drainage is observed on the ground near the front tires, it indicates that the drainage pipe is clogged. In this case, you need to clean the drainage pipe, remove any debris, and test the drainage again. Here’s a useful tip: if you often park your car under trees outdoors or in dusty areas, you can clean the drainage holes yourself approximately once a year. This can effectively prevent similar issues from recurring. Additionally, try to avoid parking under trees or in dusty areas for extended periods. It’s recommended to clean the drainage outlets and the grooves around the sunroof approximately once a year.
