After replacing the front windshield, the following points should be noted: 1. Do not wash the car within three days after replacing the windshield, and remove the tape fixing the windshield position after three days. 2. Try to avoid driving on excessively bumpy roads, and avoid sudden braking and rapid acceleration to prevent the windshield from shifting. 3. Do not insert parking permits or other cards into the gap between the front windshield and the dashboard. 4. Do not drive on highways, and keep the maximum speed below 80 kilometers per hour. 5. Do not apply window film within seven days. 6. When driving within three days after replacing the rear windshield, do not open the windows to prevent the rear windshield from shifting due to wind pressure.

Replacing the windshield is no small matter. Last time I replaced mine, safety was my top concern. You can't just go to any small shop—you need laminated glass that won't shatter and injure people. The adhesive used during installation is critical; if it's not applied properly, it can leak or even cause the entire windshield to fall off at high speeds. Reputable shops have professional equipment, and it's best to book an appointment at a service point recommended by the car dealer. After replacement, avoid long-distance driving immediately—wait at least 24 hours for the adhesive to dry, and test drive to check for any squeaking noises. A colleague of mine tried to save money by going to a roadside stall, only to end up with soaked carpets and a rusted battery during rainy days. Regularly inspect the sealing strips, and replace them promptly if they show signs of aging—don't skimp on this expense.

As an average car owner, I prioritize saving money on windshield replacement. The price gap is significant—OEM parts cost 1,000–2,000 RMB, while aftermarket options from reputable brands can save half. Always confirm what’s included upfront, as some shops lure with low prices but tack on hidden adhesive fees. I compare prices online and wait for promotions or discount coupons. For insurance claims, act fast—small cracks often qualify for free repairs. Post-installation, check for leaks to avoid surprise costs. Schedule appointments during off-peak times (e.g., weekday mornings) for the best rates. Opt for energy-efficient glass with solar films to reduce AC load and long-term fuel savings.

How to Start as a Used Car Broker for Beginners?

You need to be able to identify whether it's an accident-involved vehicle, as such cars are tricky in the current market—handling them poorly could lead to losses. At the very least, you should be able to inspect the car's condition by looking, smelling, and listening. Sellers will naturally first inquire about the price of their car from the broker. At this point, the broker should absolutely avoid rushing to lower the price.

How to Drive on a Highway with Only 2 Lanes?

Before entering the highway, the car owner must go to a repair shop or 4S store to check whether the vehicle's condition is normal and whether the tire pressure is normal. The speed should not be too fast, but also not too slow, because there are maximum and minimum speed limits on the highway, and you cannot change lanes back and forth. You cannot always drive on the left side, because the left lane is for overtaking and cannot be used continuously; it should only be used when overtaking.

Where is the Altima air-fuel ratio sensor 1b1 located?

The Altima air-fuel ratio sensor 1b1 is located above the three-way catalytic converter, with the V6 engine B1 air-fuel ratio sensor positioned on the left side. Since the three-way catalyst's purification capacity for CO, HC, and NOx drops sharply once the air-fuel ratio of the mixture deviates from the theoretical value, an oxygen sensor is installed in the exhaust pipe to detect the oxygen concentration in the exhaust. It then sends feedback signals to the ECU, which in turn adjusts the fuel injection volume from the injectors, thereby maintaining the air-fuel ratio of the mixture near the theoretical value.
