Temporary license plates can be affixed using ordinary adhesive tape or double-sided tape. The temporary license plate should be pasted in the lower left or lower right corner of the front windshield inside the vehicle, in a position that does not obstruct the driver's view, to ensure driving safety. Temporary license plates refer to temporary vehicle travel permits issued by the public security vehicle management department before the car is officially registered due to the completion of certain procedures. A temporary application for a motor vehicle license plate is a paper motor vehicle license plate that allows the vehicle to temporarily drive on the road, usually valid for no more than 30 days. Temporary license plates are divided into: 1. Temporary license plates within administrative jurisdictions; 2. Temporary license plates across administrative jurisdictions; 3. Temporary license plates for testing purposes; 4. Temporary license plates for special types of motor vehicles.

Oh, I've dealt with temporary license plates several times. When I first bought my car, I used double-sided tape to stick that temporary paper plate, especially the 3M removable tape—it's strong enough but doesn’t damage the paint, and it peels off easily. Just remember not to use super glue or anything like that, or you’ll have a nightmare cleaning it up. When applying it, make sure the area is clean—wipe off any dust first, then align the plate and press firmly. Temporary plates usually last for a month or two, and if it falls off on the road, the police might give you a ticket. I always keep a roll in my car—it’s handy until the permanent plate arrives. If you don’t have double-sided tape, regular adhesive tape from the supermarket can work temporarily, as long as it holds firmly and doesn’t wobble. The key is to keep it simple and efficient to avoid any hassle.

How to Deal with the Sour and Musty Smell in Car Air Conditioning?

Solutions for the sour and musty smell in air conditioning: 1. Replace the car air conditioning's air filter element, ensuring regular cleaning and replacement. 2. Clean the ventilation ducts, preferably when replacing the air filter element. 3. Clean the blower, ideally performed by professionals to avoid damage. 4. Clean the car interior, paying more attention to the hygiene inside the car. 5. Turn off the cooler before parking and dry the evaporator and ventilation ducts. These measures can effectively prevent the issue and extend the evaporator's service life. Note: A strong sour and musty smell in the car air conditioning is often caused by problems in the air conditioning system, such as severe contamination of the air filter element, excessive humidity inside the evaporator box, or accumulation of dust and impurities in the air conditioning vents.

How to Apply Car Window Tint Film?

Detailed steps for applying car window tint film: 1. Before applying the film, first ensure that the working environment meets the requirements of being dry and dust-free. Otherwise, dust and debris entering during the process will affect the film application. It is recommended to wash the car before applying the film. 2. Cover necessary parts of the vehicle. Both the interior and exterior should be protected with covers. If specialized materials are not available, cling film can be used as an alternative. 3. Clean the car glass where the film will be applied. Pay special attention to the top and edges of the glass, then dry it thoroughly. 4. Next, cut the film to size, ensuring it matches the dimensions of the glass. Spray a small amount of water on the glass surface, then adhere a plastic film of a certain thickness to the window. Trace the edges to create a template, which can slightly exceed the glass size. 5. When applying film to the front and rear windshields, a heat gun is required for shaping. Place the cut film on the exterior side of the glass and use a heat gun to shape it. This step is crucial and prone to errors, as the temperature of the heat gun and shaping technique require precision. Improper use can easily lead to the film becoming scorched or the glass cracking. 6. After shaping the film, proceed with the actual application. Spray clean water or window film installation solution on the interior side of the glass, then remove the innermost plastic layer of the film and apply it to the interior glass, adjusting it to the optimal position. 7. Spray a small amount of water or window film installation solution on the surface of the film, then use a long triangular plastic squeegee to remove excess water. If such a tool is not available, unused hard cards (such as credit cards or membership cards) can serve as substitutes. 8. After removing the water, check for bubbles, secure adhesion, wrinkles, or scratches between the film and the glass. If no issues are found, finally clean the edges of the glass with a towel to remove any remaining water.

How Many Meters Should the Following Distance Be?

The following distance in meters varies under different conditions: 1. When a motor vehicle is driving on the highway, the following distance should be more than 50 meters or more than 100 meters depending on the speed. 2. When a motor vehicle is driving on the highway at a speed exceeding 100 kilometers per hour, it should maintain a distance of more than 100 meters from the vehicle in front in the same lane. 3. When the speed is below 100 kilometers per hour, the distance from the vehicle in front in the same lane can be appropriately reduced, but the minimum distance should not be less than 50 meters. 4. When a motor vehicle is driving on the highway under low visibility weather conditions such as fog, rain, snow, dust, or hail, if the visibility is less than 200 meters, turn on the fog lights, low beam lights, position lights, and front and rear position lights. The speed should not exceed 60 kilometers per hour, and the distance from the vehicle in front in the same lane should be more than 100 meters. 5. When the visibility is less than 100 meters, turn on the fog lights, low beam lights, position lights, front and rear position lights, and hazard warning flashers. The speed should not exceed 40 kilometers per hour, and the distance from the vehicle in front in the same lane should be more than 50 meters. 6. When the visibility is less than 50 meters, turn on the fog lights, low beam lights, position lights, front and rear position lights, and hazard warning flashers. The speed should not exceed 20 kilometers per hour.

What to Do When the Car Air Conditioner Drain is Clogged?

Here are the solutions for a clogged car air conditioner drain: 1. Turn off the power, use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the front panel and partition to expose the condenser and drain tray. 2. Fill a mineral water bottle with water and flush the drain pipe along the tray several times to see if it can be unclogged. If not, use a thin wire to slowly clear the blockage, remove the obstructing material, and then flush with water until the drain flows smoothly. 3. Reinstall the partition and panel in the reverse order of removal. Here is some additional information: 1. The air conditioner drain hole is located under the chassis, and its exact position varies by car model. During the cooling process, the car air conditioner produces condensate, and the condensate pipe is located under the chassis. During the rainy season, passing through mud and standing water can also cause the drain hole to clog. The consequences are similar to a clogged engine compartment drain hole, where water can backflow into the car, causing floor flooding. 2. The fit between the window glass and the sealing strip is not perfect, so rainwater naturally flows along the window glass into the door interior during rain. At this point, the door drain hole is needed to drain the water. The door drain hole is at the very bottom of the door, normally hidden by the door seal, making it hard to see.

What are the reasons for the GL8 air conditioning not cooling?

Reasons for GL8 air conditioning not cooling: 1. Refrigerant needs to be replaced; 2. Compressor capacitor is damaged or the compressor is damaged; 3. The air conditioning is not set to cooling mode. Air conditioning cooling principle: After pressing the AC button, the compressor clutch will engage, the engine will drive the compressor to operate, the compressor continuously compresses the refrigerant and delivers it to the evaporator box. The refrigerant expands and absorbs heat in the evaporator box, which can cool the air blown by the blower, so that the air conditioning vents can blow cold air. The GL8 is a vehicle under SAIC-GM, with a body length, width, and height of 5256mm, 1878mm, and 1776mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 3088mm.
