Proper replacement of the windshield has no adverse effects, but improper installation can cause issues. Here is relevant information about installing a windshield: 1. Effects of improper windshield installation on the car: If the adhesive on both sides of the windshield does not bond tightly with the glass, it can negatively affect the car. For example, during high-speed driving, wind may enter through gaps between the windshield and the car body, increasing cabin noise. Additionally, when driving on bumpy roads, you may hear rattling or knocking sounds from the front of the car. 2. Precautions when replacing a windshield: (1) To prevent leaks of wind or water, avoid washing the car for three days. After three days, remove the tape securing the windshield. (2) Drive smoothly, avoiding sudden braking and rapid acceleration. (3) Try to avoid excessively bumpy roads to prevent the windshield from shifting. (4) Keep the maximum speed below 80 km/h and avoid highway driving. (5) After replacing the rear windshield, do not open the windows while driving for the first three days to prevent the rear windshield from shifting due to wind pressure. (6) Do not insert parking permits or other cards into the gap between the windshield and the dashboard.

Does Water Entering the Trunk When It's Left Open in the Rain Affect the Car?

Yes, it can have an impact. Water entering the car trunk can cause rust, mold, and other issues to the components inside. Therefore, it is important to promptly remove any water that enters the trunk. Below is some relevant information: 1. Trunk: The car trunk serves as a storage compartment for miscellaneous items. A trunk mat can effectively protect the trunk, preventing dirt or liquids from entering and damaging the surface, as well as keeping items inside from sliding. A trunk mat reduces the likelihood of the interior being contaminated or damaged, as cleaning the trunk mat is more convenient and economical than cleaning the interior. 2. Trunk Configuration: It should contain various tools such as a spare tire, jack, headlight tools, warning triangle, first aid kit, etc. Generally, these items should be standard equipment in a car, but many models do not include all of them. In fact, the first aid kit and warning triangle should be standard, as they are crucial for driving safety and emergency assistance.

What Causes Car Leakage During Rain?

What causes car leakage during rain is as follows: 1. The waterproof strips around the doors can easily become misaligned. If rainwater enters the car, check these strips. 2. For loose waterproof strips, reattach them using a specialized adhesive to restore their sealing performance and prevent further leakage. For older cars, also pay attention to the aging of these strips. 3. Leakage around the doors is mostly due to the waterproof strips around them. Check for any cracks or peeling. 4. If part of the waterproof strip is lifted or twisted, rainwater may frequently enter from there. If severely deformed, replacement is necessary. 5. If peeling occurs, reattach it using a waterproof adhesive called sealant, being careful not to pull too hard to avoid damage. 6. If a small part is loose and difficult to reattach, it may be better to peel it off and reattach it to fix any twisting or slackness in the strip. 7. The trunk area also has waterproof strips, which often become tight, twisted, or allow rainwater to enter through gaps.

Is a 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission manual or automatic?

7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission is an automatic transmission, and it is also a manual-automatic integrated transmission. This transmission can have the flexibility of a manual transmission and the comfort of an automatic transmission, while also providing uninterrupted power output. The following are the differences between dry dual-clutch automatic transmission and manual transmission: 1. Different principles: Automatic transmission uses a computer to control hydraulic oil to push pistons for gear shifting based on throttle size, speed, and throttle opening. Manual transmission adds a human-adjustable shifting device on the basis of the original 100 automatic transmission, allowing the owner to use this shifting device for lifting. 2. Different operation methods: Automatic transmission does not require the driver to manually shift gears; the vehicle will automatically select the appropriate gear based on speed and road conditions. Manual transmission can only shift gears through manual operation. 3. Different configurations: Manual transmission has a clutch pedal, while automatic transmission does not have a clutch pedal.

What Causes Water Leakage in the Cabin During Rain?

The reason for water leakage in the main driver's cabin during rain may be due to damage to the rubber seal on the main driver's door. Rubber seals, being rubber products, can deteriorate over time with prolonged use, leading to water leakage during rain. Below is some relevant information: 1. Use fog lights when driving in the rain: Make full use of fog lights to enhance driving safety during rainy conditions. If necessary, turn on the hazard warning lights to ensure that vehicles behind are constantly aware of the situation ahead. 2. Do not restart the engine if it stalls: In heavy rain or stormy weather, some road sections may accumulate significant water in a short time. If you must drive through water, do so at a steady speed using a low gear. If the vehicle stalls while moving, do not attempt to restart it immediately, as doing so blindly may cause severe engine damage. After the vehicle stalls, promptly contact a professional repair shop. Only after a technician has inspected the vehicle on-site and confirmed that there are no issues should you attempt to restart the engine.
