First, remove the rubber plug from the sunroof drainage pipe to reduce the risk of blockage in the drainage system. If a sunroof leak leads to water accumulation in the carpet, first assess the severity of the waterlogging. Since there is usually a thick layer of soundproofing material beneath the carpet, once water accumulates, it becomes very difficult to dry. Roll down all windows, open the sunroof and all doors to ensure maximum air circulation inside the car, and leave it exposed to the sun for several days. Use a blower, maintaining a certain distance, and alternately apply cold and hot air to the waterlogged area. However, this is a very time-consuming process. Seek professional assistance. Technicians will remove and dry the entire carpet and may also bake the interior to check if the water accumulation has affected the car's electrical circuits.

What are the precautions for stopping and taking the card in Subject 2?

Here are the precautions for stopping and taking the card in Subject 2: 1. Avoid crossing the line: When entering the stop-and-take-card section, in addition to looking at the front of the car and aligning the body, you should also pay attention to the rearview mirror to prevent the rear wheels from crossing the line. 2. Find the right position: During the test, control the speed, find the correct stopping position, and stop in time. Otherwise, if you miss the correct position, you will not be able to take the card (swipe the card), or if you reverse to adjust, you will fail. 3. Control the distance: Just like parallel parking, the stopping position for stopping and taking the card must also be controlled well. You cannot cross the line, but you cannot be too far away either. If it exceeds 50cm, you will lose 100 points.
