As a DIY enthusiast car owner, I replaced the sunshade for my Tiguan's sunroof last year. The whole process isn't complicated, but requires patience. First, make sure the car is parked and turned off, and disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent accidental short circuits. The tools needed are simple: a Phillips screwdriver and a plastic pry bar. Start by removing the headliner, loosening a few screws, then gently prying off the interior trim panel with the pry bar—don't use too much force to avoid cracking the plastic parts. The old sunshade is usually secured with clips; pull it out slowly to prevent the tracks from deforming. Before installing the new sunshade, align both ends of the tracks, and make sure the new part is a genuine OEM product bought online with the correct dimensions. During installation, ensure smooth sliding, then reattach the interior trim panel and tighten the screws—not too tight or too loose. Testing: Open and close the sunroof a few times to check if the sunshade moves smoothly. It took me about an hour to complete, saving on repair costs while learning maintenance skills. Regularly cleaning the sunroof can extend the sunshade's lifespan by preventing dust buildup. After replacement, the shading effect improved noticeably, making nighttime driving much more comfortable.

Does the 10th-generation Accord frequently scrape its undercarriage?

The frequency of the 10th-generation Accord scraping its undercarriage mainly depends on road conditions. If the undercarriage frequently scrapes while driving, attention should be paid to the road conditions. The ground clearance of the 10th-generation Accord is only 100mm, which indicates that its undercarriage is indeed relatively low. Therefore, the 10th-generation Accord is not suitable for unpaved rural roads. Here is some additional information: Good chassis system: There is no need to worry too much about the low undercarriage of the 10th-generation Accord. The Accord features a front MacPherson strut independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension. Due to the use of a subframe structure, the multi-link design is more flexible, with the subframe absorbing most of the impact forces to provide cushioning. This structure also enhances the rigidity of the vehicle body. As a result, the 10th-generation Accord has a robust chassis system that can easily handle minor obstacles. By slowing down on bumpy roads, you can minimize the risk of undercarriage scrapes, making rural roads manageable. Reasons for the low undercarriage: The 10th-generation Accord's low undercarriage design serves two purposes. First, it contributes to a more attractive appearance, as a lower body enhances the car's sporty vibe. Second, a lower undercarriage ensures a lower center of gravity during driving, improving handling and providing greater stability at high speeds.

What to do if the glass is foggy?

Here are some related introductions on how to deal with foggy glass: 1. Clean with a plastic brush: Use a new plastic brush for cleaning. Soak the brush completely in water and then wipe the glass directly. The plastic brush has strong cleaning power and is long enough to reach the outer side of the glass, making it easy to remove dust. Additionally, this type of plastic brush is easy to disassemble and clean. If the glass is not thoroughly cleaned, you can also add some detergent to the water to wipe the glass, then rinse it with clean water. 2. Wipe with a wet cloth: First, simply wipe the glass with a wet cloth. Then, pour a little liquor onto a dry cloth and wipe the obvious stains on the glass with slightly more force. If you don't have liquor at home, you can also mix shampoo with a small amount of water, stir well, soak a cloth in the mixture, and wipe the windows. Then, use a clean cloth to remove the water stains, and the entire glass will be bright and clean. 3. Remove dust with old newspapers: The simplest way to remove dust from glass is to use old newspapers. If you have unused newspapers at home, don't throw them away. You can wet the unused newspapers and use them to scrub stains on the glass. Newspapers can effectively remove dust and make the glass clean. 4. Wipe with onion: You can use fresh onions to wipe the glass, making it clean and bright. You can also use baking soda mixed with water to scrub the glass. The key is to quickly wipe off the water stains with a dry towel while the glass is still wet.

How Many Kilometers Should You Drive Before Changing Transmission Fluid?

Transmission fluid should be changed every two years or 40,000 kilometers. Here is some relevant information: 1. Transmission fluid: The frequency of changing transmission fluid varies for different vehicle models. For manual transmission vehicles, the transmission fluid is only used for lubrication, and the gear precision requirements in manual transmissions are not as high. Therefore, slightly inferior transmission fluid does not have much impact. 2. Hazards of dirty transmission fluid: Automatic transmission vehicles are more complex and have higher operational requirements. In these vehicles, transmission fluid serves more purposes than in manual transmissions. If the transmission fluid becomes dirty and the impurities increase, it can accelerate transmission wear and reduce shifting speed.
