A hole in the car door should be repaired or replaced depending on the size and severity of the hole. If it is a minor hole, a simple repair may suffice. However, if the hole is large and severe, replacing the door is advisable. Below are relevant details: 1. Introduction: The car door provides access for the driver and passengers, isolates external disturbances, reduces side impacts to some extent, and protects occupants. The aesthetics of the car are also related to the door's design. The quality of a car door is mainly reflected in its anti-collision performance, sealing performance, ease of opening and closing, and other functional indicators. Anti-collision performance is particularly important. 2. Hazards: Regularly check if the door is functioning properly, as a broken or deformed door can compromise the car's sealing, potentially leading to water leakage during rain, which may damage interior components.

What is the reason for the left side being too wide when reversing into the garage on the left?

The main reason for the left side being too wide when reversing into the garage on the left is turning the steering wheel too early. Here are the solutions: 1. When reversing into the garage, maintain a steady speed. When reversing from the right side, initially turn the steering wheel all the way, and if the width between the car body and the right front corner is greater than three fingers, there is no need to adjust the steering wheel. If it is less, turn the steering wheel back half a turn. When you see the right rear corner, look at the left rearview mirror, and immediately straighten the steering wheel once you see the left bottom corner. 2. When reversing from the left side, turn the steering wheel all the way once the left bumper covers the right corner. If the width between the car body and the left front corner is greater than two fingers, there is no need to adjust the steering wheel. 3. Brake in time when reaching the point, otherwise it is easy to cross the line, and the speed should be slowed down.
