It is normal for the production dates of the windows on a new car to be inconsistent. The only exception is that the production date of the glass cannot be later than the production date of the vehicle. Below is an introduction to the production date of the glass: 1. Numbers: The number represents the production year of the glass, indicating the last digit of the year. For example, 8 means 2008. The specific production year can be determined based on the vehicle's manufacturing date. If the vehicle's manufacturing date is in 2007 or 2008, then the glass's year number 8 would be 2008, not 1998, as the difference between the glass and the vehicle's production date would not exceed 10 years. 2. Small dots: The small black dots on the glass indicate the production month. The position of these dots generally falls into two scenarios: some car models have the dots in front of the number, while others have them behind the number. If the dots are in front of the number, subtract the number of dots from 7; if the dots are behind the number, subtract the number of dots from 13. The result obtained is the production month of the glass.

Will Insurance Cover the Claim for Restarting the Engine After Water Intrusion?

If the vehicle is damaged due to the owner restarting the engine after driving through water, the insurance company will deny the claim. Solutions after vehicle water intrusion: Once the vehicle stalls in water, the owner should seek help immediately to push the vehicle to a dry area nearby. Do not stay in the car waiting for rescue. As water levels rise, it is highly likely that the entire engine compartment will be flooded, causing severe damage to the vehicle's electronic components. Vehicle water intrusion insurance: Vehicle water intrusion insurance is a newly derived type of insurance, referring to an additional coverage purchased by the owner specifically for the engine. Some companies call it "Engine Special Loss Insurance," while others refer to it as "Water Intrusion Loss Insurance." It primarily covers engine damage caused by driving through water or being submerged. It is important to note that transmissions and other vehicle systems are not covered under water intrusion insurance.

Will the insurance company cover it if the car keys are locked inside the car?

If the car keys are locked inside the car, the insurance company will not cover it. Insurance companies primarily handle claims for damages caused to the car. Here are several solutions for when the car keys are locked inside: Spare key: New cars usually come with two keys, and most car owners naturally keep one as a spare. So, when you accidentally lock yourself out of the car, the spare key can come in handy. Simply go back home, retrieve the spare key, and unlock the car. Just be careful not to leave the spare key inside the car again. Call the 4S store for after-sales rescue: Besides using a spare key, the most reliable method is to call the 4S store for after-sales rescue. Just make a phone call and wait for the rescue team to arrive and help unlock the car.

What Causes Noise at 60 MPH?

The causes of noise at 60 MPH include bearings and engine accessories. Below is a detailed explanation of the reasons for noise at 60 MPH: Water in Bearings: The first thing to consider is noise from one of the four-wheel bearings, meaning there is water or sludge in the tire bearings, causing pitting on the steel rollers. This situation can produce noise while driving, but the noise will be loud, resembling a humming sound. This noise does not occur at low speeds but appears at medium to high speeds, also manifesting as a humming sound. At higher speeds, resonance may also occur. This requires disassembly and inspection to confirm. Engine Accessories: Another cause is abnormal noise from engine accessories. At idle, there may be no noise or very little noise, but when accelerating, the noise increases and becomes abnormal. Sometimes there may be a screeching sound, other times a humming sound, or even a ticking noise. These are caused by wear and tear on the accessories. The noise is directly related to vehicle speed and engine RPM, so a thorough inspection and careful troubleshooting are necessary.

Should a damaged car door be repaired or replaced under insurance?

Insurance companies generally decide whether to repair or replace a car door based on the extent of the damage. If the door has no repair value, it will be replaced. Cases where the car door needs repair: If the damage to the car door does not reach the level requiring replacement, such as scratches, paint damage, or minor deformations, the insurance company will typically opt for repairs. Cases where the car door needs replacement: If the car door is severely damaged and repairs are not cost-effective, it will be replaced. For example, replacement may be considered if the deformation area exceeds 70%, but the decision also depends on the severity of the deformation. Other scenarios include cracks inside the door, metal bending at corners, or damage to reinforcement ribs and structural components.

What Causes the Sound of Water Sloshing in the Car Door?

The sound of water sloshing in the car door can be caused by blocked drainage holes at the bottom of the door or gaps in the door. Below are solutions for the sound of water sloshing in the car door: Blocked Drainage Holes: First, inspect the car door. It may be that the drainage holes at the bottom are blocked by mud or sand, preventing rainwater from draining out. The drainage holes need to be cleared. Gaps in the Door: Sometimes, when parked on the roadside, cars frequently have cards inserted into the door. Over time, this can create an invisible gap in the door, allowing rainwater to seep inside. If the amount of accumulated water is not too large, it may not be a major issue. However, excessive water accumulation can lead to electrical faults in the door, requiring repair at a 4S shop.
