The correct way to maintain the skylight

Now more and more car owners like to buy cars with skylights, and some car owners have newly installed manual or electric skylights without skylights on their original cars. Skylights can make the air in the car circulate effectively, increase the intake of fresh air, and also make people enjoy warm sunshine in cold winter, bringing healthy and comfortable enjoyment to car owners. At the same time, the window can also broaden the field of vision, and is often used for the shooting needs of mobile phone photography.

So, what are the benefits of skylights?

Change the traditional ventilation mode

After long-term closed parking, the air pollution of vehicles is becoming more and more serious, and the compartment is filled with harmful substances such as benzene and formaldehyde in decorative products. When the car is driving at a high speed, the air flows quickly around the car. When the skylight is opened, a negative pressure area is formed outside the car. Because of the air pressure difference between the inside and outside of the car, the dirty air in the car can be pumped out to achieve the purpose of ventilation, so that the car can always keep fresh air.

Quickly remove the fog from the car.

Using skylight to remove fog is a quick method. If the car side window is closed during driving, the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car will increase, and the front windshield will easily form fog. At this time, the fog on the front windshield can be easily eliminated by opening the roof skylight to the backward ventilation position.

Rapid cooling and energy saving

Using skylights can also save energy. In addition to opening the door and turning up the air conditioner, the way to quickly reduce the temperature inside the car is actually to open the skylight and extract hot air by using the negative pressure formed on the roof of the car during driving, so as to achieve the purpose of rapid ventilation and cooling. Using this method to cool down is two or three times faster than using automobile air conditioner, which will certainly save more gasoline.

Although the skylight is on the roof, it is rarely encountered by people sitting in the car, but the skylight needs maintenance just like the car. Let's take a look at how to maintain the skylight.

Clean the slide rail regularly.

After the skylight is used for a period of time, a large amount of sand will be deposited in the slide rail and gap, and irregular cleaning will damage the skylight components. Generally, after the skylight is used for 2~3 months, the sealing strip or slide rail should be cleaned with gauze stained with water, and can be stained with a little oil or butter after drying. Usually or before parking for a long time, you can also use fine talcum powder to clean frequently, which can prolong the service life of the sealing ring.

Wash the car in winter and dry it.

After it snows or washes the car in winter, the skylight glass and sealant frame may freeze. At this time, if the sunroof is opened by brute force, it is easy to damage the sunroof motor and rubber sealing strip. The correct way is to open the skylight after snow or car wash and dry the water left on the edge. And in the process of car washing, avoid using high-pressure water gun to aim the water column directly at the sealing ring. This will not only easily deform the sealing ring under the pressure of high-pressure water column, but also cause water in the car and damage the sealing ring to a certain extent.

Don't drive all over the bumpy road.

As far as the electric sunroof is concerned, it is best not to open the sunroof completely on the bumpy road, otherwise the vibration between the sunroof and the slide rail will cause the deformation of related components and even damage the motor.

Skylights are practical and have many uses, which can make driving more comfortable and solve many troubles for car owners. However, if you don't take care of it, the skylight will launch a "temper" and bring a lot of trouble to the owner, so pay more attention to these small details in the process of using the car.
