How to Remove Rainwater from Mercedes-Benz Mirrors?

Installation is very convenient and the price is low. It works very well in light rain, but the drawback is that some water droplets may still remain during heavy rain. Apply soap to a damp cloth, then wipe the mirror with the damp cloth. After the mirror dries, gently remove any residue with a tissue or use dishwashing liquid. This method requires the car's rearview mirror to have a heating function, which not all vehicles are equipped with. Garlic is an excellent seasoning. Crush the garlic and apply it to the rearview mirror for a good effect, but it needs to be reapplied before each rain.

What to do if the fuel tank cap of Mercedes-Benz GLE won't open?

This situation is relatively common. You can insert a small wooden piece into the gap of the fuel tank cap to pry it open. Remember to pull the fuel tank cap's latch switch while prying. You can open the trunk. On the side of the fuel tank cap, there is usually an interior panel that can be opened, typically secured with just a few plastic clips, making it easy to access. You can install a small spring (not too soft or too long) on the protruding rubber pad of the fuel tank to increase the elasticity between the fuel tank cap and the locking mechanism. Apply lubricating grease to the hinges and the engagement points of the fuel tank cap.

How is the oil film on the windshield formed?

Reasons for the formation of oil film on car glass: automobile exhaust, oil smoke pollution, as well as insect carcasses, bird droppings, resin, or fruit jam. The oil film is a layer of oily substance formed by various pollutants adhering to the surface of the car glass. This layer is extremely stubborn and generally difficult to remove. However, if not treated in time, it will inevitably affect driving. Causes of oil film formation: Automobile exhaust: Automobile exhaust can adhere to the car glass, forming an oil film. Oil smoke pollution: If oil smoke and dirt are not treated for a long time, they will form oil stains. Insect carcasses, bird droppings, tree gum, or fruit jam: Insect carcasses and bird droppings are highly corrosive. If not cleaned from the glass, they will adhere and harden, turning into an oil film. Methods to remove oil film: Use a dedicated oil film cleaner, spray the cleaner evenly on the glass, and clean and wipe it with a car wash towel or sponge. Use toothpaste for cleaning. Toothpaste contains abrasive particles that can have a grinding effect. Evenly applying it to the glass can clean the surface pores of the glass and remove the oil film. Use an eraser, car wash clay, or newspaper for wiping and cleaning. The eraser and car wash clay can remove the oil film, while newspaper has a certain oil-absorbing effect. Dipping it in water and wiping repeatedly several times can also remove the oil film.
