Open the car door, and you will find a small black cover on the edge of the door. This black cover serves as a decoration and needs to be removed. After removing the small black cover, you will find the screw that secures the outer window weatherstrip. Use a T-20 spline to remove this screw. Take out a large flathead screwdriver and gently pry the edge of the outer window weatherstrip to loosen it slightly. Use your fingers to hold the outer window weatherstrip, then gently pull it upward to separate it. After removal, replace it with a new one.

As a long-time car owner who has driven several vehicles, I've encountered the issue of window seals lifting multiple times. It's usually caused by rubber aging or improper installation. First, clean the lifted area carefully and use special rubber adhesive to glue it back temporarily. If it won't stick or you notice multiple cracks, you'll need to replace the seal. You can get a new one at auto parts markets for just tens of RMB. DIY replacement is simple: pry off the old seal, align it with the groove and gently snap it into place - be careful not to force open the door trim. If left unrepaired, you'll hear wind whistling while driving, and it may let in rainwater and dust, potentially damaging the window motor over time. I replaced mine promptly last time and noticed the car felt more stable, plus saved on repair costs. Make it a habit to check seal conditions, especially in winter when temperature fluctuations make rubber more prone to deformation.

What is the purpose of a car equipped with lateral auxiliary lights?

Car equipped with lateral auxiliary lights is designed to illuminate blind spots during nighttime cornering. Here is more information about lateral auxiliary lights: 1. The lateral auxiliary lighting system does not interfere with the original high/low beam structure at all; it only requires proper alignment of the auxiliary bulb angle and activation timing. 2. The lateral auxiliary lighting will activate even if the vehicle is not in motion, as long as the steering wheel is turned. This is particularly useful when driving at night in areas without streetlights, especially during U-turns. 3. The function of lateral auxiliary lights is to illuminate blind spots during nighttime cornering. The lateral auxiliary lighting system includes a small bulb set at a special angle within the headlight, which only activates when the steering wheel is turned to a specific angle range. When this small bulb lights up, it provides illumination for blind spots in curves.

How to Check the Corolla Fuel Gauge?

If the Corolla fuel gauge needle points to E, it indicates that the fuel in the tank is nearly empty and requires attention. When the fuel warning light illuminates, the car can still travel approximately 20 kilometers. Beyond this range, drive cautiously and refuel at a gas station as soon as possible. Precautions for using the fuel gauge are as follows: 1. Do not wait until the warning light comes on to refuel. The fuel pump is located inside the tank and relies on gasoline for cooling and lubrication. Insufficient fuel levels can hinder the pump's normal operation and reduce its lifespan. 2. Avoid filling the tank completely. Gasoline expands when heated and evaporates into vapor under high summer temperatures, requiring space to accommodate. Overfilling leaves no room, causing gasoline vapor or even liquid fuel to enter the carbon canister for storage. Once the canister is full, excess vapor escapes into the air, leading to waste and environmental pollution. Daily observations such as replacing the battery or fuel filter, or even after parking overnight, may reveal the fuel gauge needle slightly lower than its original position. This is a normal phenomenon. When the fuel pump operates, negative pressure forms inside the tank, reducing its effective volume and causing the fuel level to appear higher. Additionally, thermal expansion of gasoline due to temperature increases the displayed level. When temperatures drop or the fuel tank is opened, pressure is released, and the fuel level decreases accordingly. Such display deviations are normal and typically do not exceed the width of the needle.

Do You Need to Use Turn Signals When Reversing into a Parking Space?

When reversing into a parking space, you do not need to use turn signals. Here is more information about reversing into a parking space: 1. Reversing into a parking space, also known as reverse parking or pole test, is an assessment point in the driver's test. It involves maneuvering the vehicle correctly into the parking space from both sides while in motion, primarily evaluating the driver's ability to operate the car in a confined area and their spatial awareness when the vehicle is moving. 2. Key points for parking: Keep the car body straight, the steering wheel straight, and focus your eyes on the center. The goal is to keep the car body straight (a major prerequisite for parking), with the car body perpendicular to the bottom of the parking space, meaning the visible side of the car body is perpendicular to the bottom of the parking space; the steering wheel should be straight, typically turning one and a half times to the bottom and one and a half times back to center, keeping the steering wheel level; keep your eyes on the center to ensure the car body stays in the middle of the path. 3. During the reversing process, maintain control of the clutch to fully manage the car's speed. If you cannot control the clutch, the car may stall easily; failing to manage the speed properly may result in the car entering the parking space at too large an angle or crossing the line.

What Causes the Car Body to Shake?

There are 5 main reasons for car body shaking: 1. Severe engine carbon deposits causing body vibration; When the throttle is dirty or the engine fuel injector has severe carbon buildup, gasoline adsorbed on the deposits gets sucked into the combustion chamber after starting, making the air-fuel mixture alternately rich and lean, resulting in idle vibration after startup. 2. Ignition system malfunction: If there are issues with spark plugs, high-voltage wires, or ignition coils, starting the car will also cause body shaking. 3. Brake disc failure: Deep scratches or grooves on the brake disc. 4. Unstable oil pressure: If the fuel pump's supply pressure is abnormal or the intake pressure sensor has incorrect readings or poor performance, it can also lead to body shaking. 5. Aging engine components: Problems with engine parts can transmit vibrations to the steering wheel and cabin, causing shaking during idle.
