4S shops do not apply film to sunroofs because the sunroof already has heat insulation and UV protection functions when it leaves the factory. Here is an introduction to automotive glass film: Reasons for not applying film to sunroofs: The sunroof itself is designed with heat insulation functionality; many sunroofs also have UV radiation protection; applying film would increase the thickness of the sunroof, potentially affecting its opening and closing, and may lead to leakage issues. The primary purpose of applying film to cars is for better heat insulation and radiation protection, which the sunroof already possesses. Functions of a sunroof: Air circulation. When driving with the sunroof open, the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the car can easily replace the stale air inside, better protecting the driver's physical and mental health; Quickly removes fog inside the car. During the rainy seasons of summer and autumn, due to high humidity, the greater the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car, the more likely it is for fog to form on the windows, especially the windshield, obstructing the driver's view and increasing the likelihood of traffic accidents. Although most cars are now equipped with defogging devices, sometimes the effect may not be very noticeable. In such cases, if the car has a sunroof, the pressure difference between the inside and outside can be used to easily eliminate fog on the windshield; Energy saving. In the scorching summer, without a sunroof, most drivers would immediately turn on the air conditioning to lower the temperature inside the car. With a sunroof, simply opening it and utilizing the pressure difference between the inside and outside can quickly cool down the car. This method is several times faster than using air conditioning and also saves gasoline.

What Are the Solutions for a Motorcycle's Harsh Braking Noise?

Solutions for a motorcycle's harsh braking noise are as follows: 1. Flush the brake drum and brake shoes with alcohol: Oil contamination between the drum brake shoes and the brake drum can cause slippage, resulting in a sharp noise. 2. Sand the surface of the brake shoes with 800# sandpaper: If the surface of the drum brake shoes is too smooth, it can cause slippage and produce a sharp noise. Additional information: 1. Force conditions of drum brakes: Based on whether the brake drum receives balanced normal forces from the two shoes during braking, brakes can be classified into balanced and unbalanced types. 2. Requirements for brake shoes: For cars and light, mini, and medium-sized trucks, brake shoes are widely made from T-section rolled steel or stamped-welded steel plates; for large-tonnage trucks, brake shoes are made from materials such as malleable cast iron, ductile cast iron, cast steel, or cast aluminum alloy, with cross-sections in I-shape, mountain-shape, etc.

How long can you park in a no-parking zone before getting photographed?

In no-parking zones, electronic surveillance cameras start capturing images as soon as a vehicle stops. When a vehicle enters a no-parking area, the electronic police system automatically takes a photo. If the vehicle leaves within three minutes, the photo is automatically deleted by the system. Below are relevant details about parking in no-parking zones: 1. Vehicles parked in no-parking zones for more than five minutes: After five minutes, the electronic police system captures a second photo and uploads it to the relevant system, resulting in a fine for the vehicle. 2. Fine: Parking in a no-parking zone for more than five minutes will incur a penalty.

Difference Between 95 and 92 Octane Gasoline

Here are the differences between 92 and 95 octane gasoline: 1. N-heptane content: 95 octane gasoline contains 5% n-heptane; 92 octane gasoline contains 8% n-heptane. 2. Isooctane content: The octane rating of 92 octane gasoline is lower than that of 95 octane gasoline. 95 octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane; 92 octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane. 3. Anti-knock performance: Different gasoline grades represent different fuel anti-knock properties. The higher the gasoline grade, the better the anti-knock performance. 95 octane gasoline has better anti-knock performance than 92 octane gasoline.

Is an automatic transmission fuel consumption of 8 liters considered high?

An automatic transmission fuel consumption of 8 liters is considered normal. The fuel consumption of a car varies slightly depending on each individual's driving habits and skills. Smoother driving habits result in lower fuel consumption, while aggressive driving behaviors such as frequent overtaking and high-revving operations will appropriately increase fuel consumption. Below are some methods to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Check the air conditioning system in summer: Air conditioning malfunctions are a significant cause of high fuel consumption. Poor cooling performance leads to increased fan speed and lower temperature settings to achieve a cooling effect. 2. Avoid frequent hard braking: Frequent hard braking is a primary reason for persistently high car fuel consumption. While ensuring safe driving, make full use of the vehicle's inertia. 3. Do not overuse air conditioning in small-displacement vehicles: For vehicles exposed to the sun, avoid turning on the air conditioning immediately after entering. First, open the windows and set the fan to a higher setting without turning on the air conditioning to expel the hot air inside. Wait until the vehicle has cooled down moderately before turning on the air conditioning.
