TPU material is more durable. Paint protection film, also known as invisible car cover, is a high-performance and environmentally friendly new type of film. Currently, there are mainly two types of materials for paint protection films on the market: PVC and TPU. Due to the difference in materials, their effects, lifespan, and price vary. Below is a related introduction to car covers: 1. PVC: PVC, scientifically known as polyvinyl chloride, is a widely used plastic in daily life. PVC material is relatively hard, lacks flexibility, and is thicker. PVC car covers mainly rely on hardness to protect the car body. Due to the material, PVC films are prone to poor adhesion and are generally not edged during installation. They have a shorter lifespan but are cheaper in price. 2. TPU: TPU, thermoplastic polyurethane material, is soft, highly flexible, and has good extensibility. It is relatively thin and highly transparent. TPU material has the function of thermally sensitive automatic scratch repair. The abrasion resistance, corrosion resistance, and UV resistance of TPU material are excellent, and it is recyclable, making it more environmentally friendly. It has a longer lifespan but is relatively more expensive.

What to Do If the Car Anti-Theft Wheel Lock Socket Is Lost?

If the car anti-theft wheel lock socket is lost, it is recommended not to casually purchase a replacement set. It is best to visit a car 4S store or an authorized local maintenance location of the car manufacturer to order original anti-theft wheel locks, as this is safer. 1. There are many types of anti-theft wheel locks available on the market, but many of them are not professional anti-theft locks. Installing such locks may not provide the intended anti-theft effect. 2. During vehicle use, if you encounter a situation where the anti-theft wheel lock cannot be removed or the socket is lost, making it impossible to dismantle, a common solution is to weld a standard nut onto the anti-theft wheel lock. Then, use a standard socket to drive the anti-theft wheel lock for removal.

Why Did the Glass Suddenly Shatter?

There are several reasons that may cause the glass to suddenly shatter: 1. It may be due to external force damage, such as bumps during transportation or intentional striking. 2. It could also be caused by defects in the glass manufacturing process, such as bubbles, cracks, or impurities present during production. 3. Installation factors, such as insufficient clearance during installation or direct contact between the glass and the frame, which can create pressure on the edges or corners of the glass, leading to shattering. 4. For tempered glass, spontaneous breakage is mainly caused by nickel sulfide inclusions. After rapid cooling, the nickel sulfide inside the tempered glass transforms from the high-temperature a-phase to the low-temperature b-phase, resulting in volume expansion and causing the glass to break.

Steering gear oil leakage; 5. Abnormal noise from the steering gear. The steering gear, commonly known as the steering box, is a crucial component for the steering function of a vehicle and an important guarantee for driving safety. The role of the steering gear is to amplify the force transmitted from the steering wheel to the steering linkage and to change the direction of force transmission. The function of the vehicle steering system is to control the driving direction according to the driver's intention. The steering system is vital for the driving safety of the vehicle, hence all components of the vehicle steering system are referred to as safety-critical parts.
