Water leakage in the trunk can be caused by the following reasons: 1. Worn or Aged Sealing Strips: Worn or aged sealing strips, or trunk deformation, can lead to water leakage. It is necessary to check whether the tailgate rubber strip shows signs of aging, wear, or cracking. If the vehicle has been involved in an accident before and leaks after repair, check whether the sealing rubber strip applied post-repair is not tight enough or if there are cracks in the repaired area. 2. Detached or Damaged Sealing Strips: If the sealing strip around the rear taillight connector becomes detached or damaged, water can flow into the trunk from the taillight. 3. Leaking or Clogged Drain Pipes: Some cars have sunroof drain pipes running through the trunk. If these drain pipes leak or become clogged, it can also cause this issue.

Will points be deducted if the license plate anti-theft cap is not installed?

No points will be deducted. As long as all eight screws are installed on both the front and rear plates, traffic police will not deduct points, and the vehicle will pass the annual inspection smoothly. Points deduction related to license plate installation mainly occurs due to missing screws or failure to install them as required. If caught, the penalty will be for "failing to display the motor vehicle license plate as required," with a fine of 200 yuan imposed by the traffic management department, and in severe cases, 12 points may be deducted. More details are as follows: 1. Difficulty in installing the license plate anti-theft cap: There are two main reasons why the anti-theft cap may not fit. The first is that the base of the anti-theft cap was not screwed into the bolt before installation. If the base is not screwed in, the cap cannot be installed. The other reason is that the spring inside the cap is too protruding, preventing it from connecting with the base during installation. In this case, a small flathead screwdriver can be used to press the spring inward before installation. A useful tip for installing the anti-theft cap is to try screwing it into the base from left to right. 2. Function of the nuts: The nuts sent with the license plate are generally used with screws to secure them. However, most vehicle models come with nuts pre-installed from the factory, so these additional nuts may not be needed. Besides installing screws and nuts, anti-theft nuts should also be installed. These anti-theft nuts are sent along with the license plate. After installing the screws, the anti-theft nuts can be attached, making it impossible to remove the license plate without cutting the screws, thus achieving an anti-theft effect.

What is the process of picking up a car and getting a license plate at a 4S store?

The process of picking up a car and getting a license plate at a 4S store is as follows: 1. Pay a deposit to order the car: In most cases, consumers usually place an order first when buying a car, which requires paying a deposit and signing a purchase contract with the 4S store. 2. Pay the balance: When the new car arrives at the store or is ready, the salesperson will contact the owner to come and pay the balance. It is important to carefully inspect the car before paying the balance to ensure there are no issues with the vehicle. 3. Pick up the car: After paying the balance, the car officially belongs to the owner. At this point, a temporary license plate can be obtained directly at the 4S store, which usually takes about half an hour. Once the temporary plate is issued, the car can be driven on the road. 4. License plate registration: Since the owner has requested the 4S store to handle the license plate registration, all the necessary procedures for the new car will be handled by the 4S store. The owner only needs to bring the required documents and drive the new car to the vehicle management office at the agreed time. The owner can then simply sit in the car while the representative from the 4S store completes all the license plate registration procedures. 5. Install the license plate: Once the official license plate is issued, it just needs to be installed on the vehicle. At this point, the entire car purchase process is complete.
