The methods for removing the front windshield film are as follows: 1. After peeling off the film, generally use detergent water and a razor blade to remove the residues. You can also use a steel wool pad with detergent water, but make sure it's brand new. Avoid using a steel wool pad that has been used for scrubbing pots, as it may have grease stains that can stick to the glass and make cleaning more difficult. 2. It's important to note that most rear windshields come with defogger heating wires. If you directly use a razor blade or steel wool pad to clean, you may damage these heating wires, causing the rear windshield to lose its defogging function. Similarly, some side rear triangular glass panels have radio antennas, so extra caution is needed. 3. For cleaning glass with defogger heating wires, you can use hot water mixed with detergent and a slightly rough cloth or a cloth used for cleaning car interiors. Clean slowly and carefully. If the film was of poor quality, there might be remnants that are hard to peel off completely. In such cases, you can use a razor blade to scrape them off bit by bit, being careful not to scratch the heating wires. If the defogger heating wires are not needed, you can directly clean with a razor blade or steel wool pad.

Can a replaced car trunk be detected?

Specific observations can be made from the following aspects: 1. Color difference: If the trunk has been replaced, there may be a certain color difference between it and the body. It's quite simple—compare the color of the trunk with the nearby ABC pillars. If the difference is too significant, there's likely an issue. There's no need to compare it with the entire body. 2. Fit: Sometimes, even after replacing these parts, they may still fit perfectly. 3. Car windows: In more severe accidents, the car windows may have cracked or at least been damaged, requiring replacement. Therefore, clues can also be found through the car windows. However, this is not 100% accurate, as sometimes replacing the trunk may not involve replacing the windows.
