What is the panel below the car door called?

The panel below the car door is called the door seal. The door requires good sealing, dustproof, waterproof, and sound insulation properties. In addition to the reasonable size fit between the door and the car body, the important part is the seal strip embedded or pasted on the door frame and the door. The following is a detailed introduction to the door accessories: 1. Material of the seal strip: The seal strip is a rubber product with a hollow cross-section. Its flexibility allows it to fill gaps of varying sizes. When the gap is large, the compression on the seal strip is small, and when the gap is small, the compression on the seal strip is large. The quality of the seal strip directly affects the sealing performance of the door. 2. Common door accessories: (1) Door glass: Provides the driver with a certain degree of side vision to assist in driving. It is generally made of 3-4 mm single-curved tempered glass. The window regulator can raise and lower the door glass, allowing the driver to perform certain tasks without getting out of the car or opening the door, such as paying at a toll booth. (2) Door hinge: Used to support the door and ensure smooth opening and closing. The door hinge consists of a hinge seat and a hinge shaft. It should rotate smoothly without sticking or making noise, and should maintain its function throughout the expected service life of the car.

What are the effects of overfilling manual transmission fluid?

Effects of overfilling manual transmission fluid: 1. Increased operational resistance inside the transmission, leading to abnormal oil leakage; 2. Agitation of the fluid by rotating components may cause foaming; 3. Abnormal oil pressure can lead to air blockage in the control valve's oil drain holes, resulting in poor drainage; 4. Gear shift shock may occur. Precautions for changing manual transmission fluid: 1. Choose the appropriate viscosity when changing the oil to avoid power loss; 2. Do not mix different types of transmission fluids to prevent adverse effects from varying fluid properties; 3. Avoid using low-quality transmission fluid; 4.

What are the maintenance items for the Cavalier?

The maintenance items for the Cavalier include changing the engine oil and filter every 5,000 kilometers; replacing the fuel filter; and replacing the spark plugs every 60,000 kilometers. There are three maintenance taboos to be aware of: 1. Avoid poor ventilation: Do not run the engine for extended periods in an unventilated garage. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, and prolonged exposure to low concentrations of carbon monoxide can cause headaches, shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, weakness, dizziness, mental confusion, and even brain damage. 2. Avoid contact with carburetor cleaner: Most carburetor cleaners contain methyl chloride, aromatic compounds, and ethanol, which can pose safety hazards if inhaled or splashed on the skin or eyes. 3. Avoid mechanical injuries: When performing maintenance, clearly mark the work area. When starting the car, pay attention to the transmission gear position to prevent accidental movement that could cause injury. When working under the hood, ensure others leave the driver’s seat to prevent accidental injury from sudden engine movement or operation of controls by others.
