It should be placed at the closest point to the body panel when the car door is closed. Below is a related introduction to the door shock absorber shim: Function: It prevents the shock absorber from coming into contact with the car body. When the car turns, the center of gravity shifts to one side, causing the body to tilt and compress the spring. The shim then provides support, helping to reduce the car's body roll. Material: The shim is made of paper, rubber, or copper and is placed between two surfaces to enhance sealing. It serves as a sealing element between static sealing surfaces to prevent fluid leakage. It is installed on the car body by adhesion, and the adhesive material is usually very mild, so it will not damage the surface of the car body.

Where is the cigarette lighter socket in the Civic?

The cigarette lighter socket in the Civic is located below the center console, to the right of the driver. The cigarette lighter only works when the ignition switch is turned on. Improper use may cause serious injury or fire. Here are specific details about the cigarette lighter: Introduction: The cigarette lighter is a device in cars. In its traditional sense, it draws power from the car's electrical system to heat a metal heating element (such as a heating plate or wire) to provide a flame for lighting cigarettes. With the development of automobiles and evolving user needs, the cigarette lighter socket can now typically accommodate a car power inverter for charging mobile electronic devices. The central spring-loaded contact is the positive pole, while the side clips serve as the negative pole. The power supply is directly connected to the car battery, sharing the same current and voltage specifications. Working Principle: In addition to lighting cigarettes, the car cigarette lighter can be equipped with a power inverter that converts the vehicle's 12V, 24V, or 48V DC power into 220V/50Hz AC power for general electrical appliances.

Why Are More and More Cars Without Independent Roof Antennas?

Because independent antennas have drawbacks, they are gradually exiting the mainstream market. Older cars used telescopic antennas, similar to those on old radios that could extend and retract, but modern cars have largely abandoned this type of antenna. Whip antennas, which are non-retractable, are now more commonly used in cars. They look aesthetically pleasing but generate significant wind noise. Glass antennas, embedded within the front or rear windshield, are another option, making the small tail-like protrusion invisible. Glass antennas have become a mainstream configuration. Since glass antennas meet the requirements of automotive mechanics, aesthetics, and aerodynamics, many manufacturers prefer this option.
