Where is the VIN located on the Jianghuai Refine?

The VIN of the Jianghuai Refine is located under the rear of the passenger seat. There is a small black cover that can be moved aside to reveal it. Alternatively, the VIN and engine number may also be found in the lower left corner of the front windshield or within the engine compartment. Below is relevant information: 1. VIN Overview: The VIN is a combination of 17 letters and numbers arranged in a specific sequence, providing details about the vehicle's country of manufacture, year, model, engine type, and more. 2. Label Position: Except for trailers and motorcycles, the label should be affixed to the door hinge pillar, door lock pillar, or one of the door edge pillars adjacent to the door lock, near the driver's seat. If such a location is not available, it should be fixed on the left side of the dashboard. If that is also not possible, it should be placed on the inner side of the door near the driver's seat. If none of the above positions are feasible, a written application must be submitted to the NHTSA. The label's position should be easily readable without moving any vehicle parts, except for the exterior door.
I used to drive a Refine, and the most visible location for the VIN is at the lower right corner of the windshield, near the driver's side. Get close enough, and you can clearly see that string of letters and numbers. If the tint or glare makes it hard to read, pop open the hood—there's usually a metal plate nailed to the firewall. Wipe off the dust with a cloth, and you'll be able to read it. There's often a label under the front passenger seat too; just lift the floor mat to check. Once, when helping a friend inspect a used car, I found the VIN on an older Refine model was also stamped on the inner side of the right rear wheel arch—you'd have to squat down to spot it. My advice? Check all these spots—it'll save you a lot of hassle when transferring ownership or filing an insurance claim.
The guy at the inspection station told me that the chassis numbers of Refine vehicles are mainly concentrated in three locations: the lower right corner of the windshield, the firewall nameplate in the engine compartment, and under the passenger side floor mat. Last week, when I was helping my brother check his car, the 2015 Refine had a particularly clear number on the windshield position. If the windshield position is worn out, you can directly check the engine compartment; it's on the metal plate behind the battery. As for the one under the seat, some owners have full-coverage floor mats that might cover it, so remember to lift them up for inspection. The chassis number is like the vehicle's ID card—it's needed for reissuing the vehicle license or accident claims. It's best to take a photo and save it on your phone as a backup.
