Precautions for replacing a windshield: 1. Wear gloves to protect your hands; 2. Wear goggles when cutting glass adhesive with piano wire; 3. Use seat covers to avoid damaging the seats; 4. Use glass adhesive kits; 5. When replacing a cracked windshield, using a universal windshield cutter can effectively remove the adhesive. Windshields are generally laminated glass, which refers to a transparent adhesive plastic film sandwiched between two or three layers of glass, combining the toughness of plastic with the hardness of glass to enhance the glass's resistance to breakage. Tempered glass is made by quenching ordinary glass to create internal stresses, thereby strengthening the glass. When impacted and broken, tempered glass shatters into small, blunt-edged fragments, reducing the risk of injury to passengers.

How to remove the OBU?

The back of the OBU is attached with double-sided tape. When removal is needed, first use an electric heat gun to warm it up, then use a thin card to pry it off, and finally wipe off any residual adhesive with a cloth. The OBU is the electronic tag on the ETC device, which works in conjunction with the detection equipment at highway toll stations to enable automatic fee deduction and passage. The OBU should not be removed arbitrarily to prevent issues such as sensor failure or data loss. If a vehicle owner changes to a new car and needs to transfer the old OBU device to the new vehicle, they must bring their personal ID card, the original and a copy of the new vehicle's registration certificate, and drive the new car with the fixed license plate to the service center to complete the electronic tag transfer procedure.
