To remove the gear shift knob, you must first remove the lower decorative panel. Before disassembly, make sure to prepare a plastic clip pry tool for the process. After removal, you can observe the alignment between the clips at various positions and the protrusions on the lower mounting base. Once the decorative panel is removed, you will see the connected wiring harness plug. Simply disconnect it. Hold the gear shift knob firmly and pull it upward with force to detach it from the gear shift lever.

Why is there always a sound of wipers rubbing against dry glass?

Wipers making noise when rubbing against the glass could be due to hardened or aged wiper blades, foreign objects between the wiper blade and windshield, deformation of the linkage mechanism, or issues with the motor or interval relay. Below are the possible causes and solutions: Issues with the wiper blades themselves: Wiper blades are made of rubber and can harden or age over time, especially in winter. If they no longer clean effectively, the simplest and most effective solution is to replace them. It is generally recommended to replace wiper blades every one to two years. Foreign objects between the wiper blade and windshield: When the wipers are turned on, a sharp sound may occur due to friction between the wiper blade and windshield. The owner should inspect and clean any foreign objects under or on the wiper blades to ensure they remain clean. Deformation of the linkage mechanism or issues with the motor or interval relay: Abnormal movements, such as too fast, too slow, or continuous operation, may cause unusual sounds. Over time, the mechanism itself may deform, jam, rust, or malfunction. If the wiper blades are newly replaced, check if the windshield has dirt or oil stains. It is recommended to clean the windshield with a cleaning solution or try a new set of wiper blades.

How to Solve Insensitive Car Brakes?

Check whether the brake fluid level is normal and whether air has entered the brake system due to leakage. If so, add brake fluid to the specified level and bleed the system. Check whether the brake master cylinder and the four-wheel slave cylinders are functioning properly and whether there is any leakage. If there is leakage, replace the master cylinder or slave cylinders. Check whether the brake pads have exceeded the wear limit. If so, replace them with new ones.

What to Do About Rusty Car Brakes?

Remove the brake disc, use sandpaper to clean off the rust, check the surface of the brake pads for any abnormalities, and conduct a road test after proper installation. Gently press the brakes a few times to generate friction by clamping the brake disc with the brake pads. Repeat this process several times, and the rust spots will be worn away. If the rust is severe, it is best to replace the brake disc with a new one.

How to Solve Overheated Car Brakes?

Prolonged braking can cause the brake disc temperature to rise. Try to rely more on engine-assisted braking and use intermittent braking. When the vehicle's brake caliper is damaged, causing the caliper and brake disc to stick together, prolonged friction will lead to overheating of the brake disc. This requires repair at a service center. If the parking brake is not released while driving, the brake disc will experience abnormal temperature increase due to friction. Immediately release the parking brake in such cases.
