Rotate the original position 90 degrees to the left and slowly apply force to press the socket into the ball, then rotate it back to the original position. Alternatively, disassemble the mirror frame, remove the iron ring on the outer edge of the ball socket, and it can be installed easily. The mirror can still be used without the iron ring. Related information is as follows: 1. Function of the rearview mirror: The rearview mirror is a tool that allows the driver to directly obtain information about the rear, side, and lower parts of the car while seated in the driver's seat. For the convenience of the driver and to prevent traffic safety accidents and ensure personal safety, all countries require that rearview mirrors must be installed in cars, and all rearview mirrors must be adjustable. 2. Classification by installation location: Interior rearview mirror: The interior rearview mirror is designed to allow the driver to confirm the rear situation without significantly changing the forward line of sight while driving. Exterior rearview mirror: Passenger cars generally install exterior rearview mirrors on the doors. Some domestic vehicles in Japan also install them on the fenders. Under-mirror: The under-mirror allows the driver to see areas outside the front and rear wheels under the car body in the mirror directly in front of the driver's seat. It enables the driver to see whether there are people or obstacles near the front and rear wheels and the side of the car when reversing or starting forward, to avoid injuring people or objects and damaging the vehicle, providing convenience and safety to the driver.

Can the front windshield be tinted?

The front windshield can be tinted. Here are the relevant details: 1. Advantages: Tinting the front windshield of a car is beneficial because it effectively blocks ultraviolet rays from outside, preventing the interior temperature from becoming too high during summer and affecting the driver's comfort. Additionally, tinting reduces the glare from oncoming headlights during nighttime driving, improving driving safety. 2. Precautions: The tint for the front windshield should be slightly lighter or use a clear film. When applying the tint, it is crucial not to obstruct the driver's field of vision.

What is the cause of the P3073 fuel pump circuit electrical fault?

P3073 fuel pump circuit electrical fault is caused by an open/short circuit in the connection/wiring between the fuel pump and the fuel pump controller. Below is an introduction to the fuel pump: Introduction to the fuel pump: The fuel pump is a professional term in the automotive parts industry. It is one of the basic components of the fuel injection system in electronic fuel injection vehicles, located inside the vehicle's fuel tank. The fuel pump operates during startup and while the engine is running. If the engine stops but the ignition switch remains in the ON position, the HFM-SFI control module shuts off the power to the fuel pump to prevent accidental ignition. Function of the fuel pump: The fuel pump's function is to draw fuel from the fuel tank, pressurize it, and deliver it to the fuel supply line, working in conjunction with the fuel pressure regulator to establish a certain fuel pressure.

What are the causes of car glass breakage?

Car glass breakage can be attributed to the following reasons: 1. Poor tempering process: Tempered glass inherently has a self-explosion rate of about 0.3% due to quality issues, which strictly speaking indicates a problem with the glass quality. 2. Uneven stress distribution: If the glass is installed without leaving sufficient edge clearance, it may expand when heated and press against the metal frame, leading to uneven stress distribution and ultimately causing the glass to crack. 3. Deformation: During the process of applying window film, if the glass is not heated evenly and a heat gun is used to shape the film, localized heating can cause uneven thermal expansion stress and deformation, resulting in glass breakage.

Is an Annual Inspection Required for a Class B License?

B2 licenses require an annual inspection. According to regulations, a B2 driver's license must undergo an annual review. However, if there are no demerit points recorded within a scoring cycle, the inspection for that cycle is exempted. The B2 driver's license is subject to an annual inspection, which must be completed within 30 days after the end of the current scoring cycle at the local vehicle management office where the license was issued. Below are the procedures and precautions for the B2 annual inspection: Annual Inspection Procedures: The applicant must submit the required materials directly to the receiving window. Organize learning and education sessions for drivers, lasting no less than three hours, and maintain records. For drivers who have participated in the learning and education sessions, a certificate of completion will be issued. The receiving window will accept applications that meet the requirements; if the materials are incomplete or do not meet legal requirements, the applicant will be informed of the missing materials or the reason for rejection. After approval, an inspection certificate will be issued. Annual Inspection Precautions: For driver's licenses that have not undergone the annual inspection within the stipulated time, if the delay is less than three years, the driver must pass a traffic regulations theory test before the annual inspection can be resumed. For licenses that have not been inspected for more than three years, the driver must have the license revoked by the traffic police department, then personally apply to a local driving school. After passing the theory test, "pole test," and "road test" administered by the public security traffic police department, the driver can regain the license.

What are the reasons for unclean car window wiping?

Reasons and solutions for unclean car window wiping: 1. The glass is too dirty. This is due to excessive dust. Spray more windshield washer fluid and wipe several times to clean it thoroughly. Always use washer fluid when wiping. 2. There is oil on the glass. If the car is parked in a place with oil fumes or if insects have collided with the glass, oil residue may be present. Oil is generally not easy to remove and usually requires car wash soap or foam cleaner to clean. 3. The wiper blade has oil. Many people forget that the wiper blade can also accumulate oil. After cleaning the glass, it is necessary to clean the wiper blade as well. This will make the cleaning more effective. The cleaning method is the same as above. 4. The wiper blade is damaged. This does not only refer to physical damage. Sometimes the wiper blade may be deformed, not adhering tightly to the glass, or not fitting closely during wiping. In such cases, it is best to replace it with high-quality parts. 5. The wiper motor is damaged. Besides being burnt out, the motor may have excessive gaps, causing the wiper blade not to adhere tightly to the glass. This can be detected through careful observation. 6. Not using windshield washer fluid. It is necessary to use washer fluid as it provides much better cleaning effects. Many people use water or water mixed with a little washer fluid. However, water is not very clean and does not effectively clean the glass.
