Using glue cannot effectively reattach it; the mirror must be replaced entirely. Below is relevant information about rearview mirrors: 1. Definition: Vehicles are typically equipped with anti-glare rearview mirrors inside the cabin, which consist of a special mirror, two photodiodes, and an electronic controller. The electronic controller receives signals from the photodiodes for both front and rear light. If the light shining on the interior rearview mirror is stronger from behind than from the front, the electronic controller will send a voltage to the conductive layer. 2. Material: The reflective coating of automotive rearview mirrors is generally made of silver and aluminum, though some use chromium.

I once encountered a situation where the rearview mirror fell off during car repair, and using specialized adhesive is crucial. Never casually use 502 or ordinary glue, as these are not heat-resistant and can melt under summer sun exposure, causing the mirror to fall off again, which is even more troublesome. I recommend automotive structural adhesive or epoxy resin glue, which are specifically designed for rearview mirrors and can withstand vibrations and weather changes. Before applying the adhesive, thoroughly clean the back of the mirror and the base with alcohol wipes to remove old glue and grease, then wait for it to dry completely before applying a thin layer of adhesive. Align the position and press firmly for a few minutes; it's best to let it sit for a day to allow the glue to fully cure. If you're in a hurry, you can use a hairdryer on low heat to assist drying, but don't hold it too close to avoid damaging the plastic. Don't delay this issue, as poor rear visibility while driving can easily lead to accidents. Regularly check the mirror's stability during car washes to save a lot on repair costs.

Is there a late fee for illegal parking tickets?

There is no late fee for illegal parking tickets, but there is for traffic tickets. There are two scenarios for late fees on unpaid traffic violations: 1. Violations captured by electronic surveillance: These do not incur late fees and can be handled during the annual vehicle inspection. 2. Violations with on-site tickets issued by traffic police: Fines must be paid within 15 days, and a late fee of 3% per day will be charged starting from the 16th day, with the total late fee not exceeding the original fine amount. Below are the consequences of not handling traffic violations: 1. Late fees: On-site tickets not paid within 15 days will incur late fees. 2. License and vehicle seizure: If more than three violations remain unpaid, the traffic police may seize the driver's license, and in severe cases, the vehicle. 3. Difficulty in license processing: Unpaid on-site tickets will prevent the driver from renewing, replacing, or transferring their license. 4. No insurance claims: Accidents or vehicle damage will not be covered by the vehicle insurance company. 5. Failed annual vehicle inspection.

What are the precautions for replacing a car battery?

Car should be stopped and turned off, confirm the battery model, as the capacity and size of the battery vary, it is best to choose the same battery as the original one. Here are some relevant introductions about the battery: 1. Since the battery is heavy, friends with low strength are advised to seek help from others, especially when taking out and placing the battery from the engine compartment, to avoid damaging the battery or hurting themselves. Remove the battery clamp and take out the battery. If the vehicle is connected to an external power source, be careful not to let the positive terminal wire come into contact with the car body. It can be isolated with cotton cloth. 2. Generally, the service life of a car battery is 2-3 years, and the original battery of a new car can last more than 3 years. If the battery has been used for almost two years, pay attention to its service life which may have expired. At this time, you should check more often, conduct inspections in advance, and solve or replace any problems as early as possible to avoid losses caused by the battery suddenly "dying" during use.

Where is the engine number located on an older Volkswagen Polo?

The engine number of an older Volkswagen Polo is located on a sticker on the left side of the engine, visible after opening the hood. The engine number is also found on the firewall's nameplate.
