Whether it is necessary to apply a front windshield film depends on the actual condition of your vehicle: 1. For some cars with privacy glass or green wave front windshields, it is not recommended to apply a film, as it may block light after application. 2. For front windshields without privacy or green wave glass, applying a film is completely necessary. Analyzing the advantages of applying a film, it can provide sun protection and block ultraviolet rays. Additionally, during hot summers, using air conditioning can save fuel consumption and help the vehicle cool down more quickly. From a safety perspective, although the front windshield is made of laminated glass, in the event of an accident, the shattered glass can turn into granular pieces, potentially affecting the safety of the vehicle.

I used to think front windshield tinting was just for looks, but long drives taught me its true value. Quality film blocks over 90% of UV rays, preventing sunburn and peeling on arms while driving. In summer, tinted car interiors stay at least 10°C cooler when parked outside, sparing you from sauna-like heat. Safety-wise, shatterproof film holds broken glass together during collisions, preventing secondary injuries. Its anti-glare feature also reduces blinding headlight glare at dusk. But always choose high-transparency certified films - cheap ones that bubble or turn purple dangerously impair visibility.

I think the money spent on front windshield film is worth it. The sun protection effect is most noticeable in summer. When parked outdoors for two hours, the steering wheel without film becomes too hot to hold, while with film it directly cools down, saving on air conditioning and fuel costs. UV protection is also beneficial for the elderly and children, preventing skin burns inside the car. In terms of safety, once a stone hit the front windshield, the film held the crack together, preventing the glass from shattering. When choosing film, pay attention to the parameters: the light transmittance should be at least 70% to be legal, and the heat insulation rate depends on the infrared blocking data. Dark-colored films or cheap no-name brands are not recommended, as they can make it difficult to see road conditions at night.

Why does the Cruze's fan keep running when the water temperature is not high?

The reason is a faulty thermostat. Below is an introduction to the thermostat: 1. Definition: The car thermostat is a valve that controls the flow path of the engine coolant. 2. Function: The thermostat automatically adjusts the amount of water entering the radiator based on the coolant temperature to ensure the engine operates within an appropriate temperature range, which can help save energy. 3. Impact: The thermostat must maintain good working condition; otherwise, it will severely affect the normal operation of the engine. For example, if the main valve of the thermostat opens too late or fails to open, it will cause the engine to overheat. If it opens too early, the engine's warm-up time will be prolonged, resulting in the engine temperature being too low.
