| a good sun roof shouldnt leak , and since its O.E on your i10 , i dont think you should bother , and if it had to leak , it would have leaked everytime you washed your car.

He took a couple of cigarettes in his hands and rubbed them on the screen till they disappeared. The glass was still wet when he did so. Then taking an old newspaper he wiped the muck. The glass was clear till as far as I can remember. Never got an opportunity to try this. But I will do it. But I wonder what kind of a reaction to expect from family once I draw a cigarrete case from the glove compartment ![]() @asr245 why don't you take the risk and tell us about it. ![]()

| Wah! So many queries with what a trucker (not the one driving a Safari) does with his cigarette! So here is how it goes: Wet windsheild - take few cigarettes (with or without the white cover; for better results use without white cover and filter; we are interested in the tobacco only). Wipe windsheild with tobacco. The tobacco and the water mix and then the result is what is being smeared (again, not what you might have read in Sam's "Boss" sub-titles review) here. Once done, wipe down the whole thing with a piece of paper. This is where some good old new-paper are a life saver. Enjoy the drive. ![]() |

| Senior - BHPian | Please check the wiper blades and replace new ones if they are worn out. I did a stupid thing 2 days back and swished the wiper in rain with out realising that the ribber lining has gone. Now i have halfsize rainbow scar on my windshield..i kicked myself for my mistake.

| BHPian | what's the best monsoon protection that can be done to paint and exteriors? is a coat of Wax going to help? (water is bound to roll off right). Esp if the car is going to be untouched, days on end, out in an open parking?

| I too would like to know how much of a help is an under body anti rust coat on a six month old car. Does it really help or can I wait another year or two before taking that up. I have already scraped a few speed breakers.

| i would suggest that you do this if your car spends relatively long durations of time in high humidity conditions or near the sea shore.

Would rather leave the car uncovered and dry it up once the rains stop, this would be better practise. Else, cover it up during the rains but remove the cover once the rains stop to allow the moisture to evaporate, my two paise !

These lights are supposed to be left blinking in a crippled vehicle parked by the side of the road. If a vehicle with hazzard lights blinking moves to the left or right how would it indicate this. It would create an even more hazzzardous situation. ![]() Have many time wondered how this incorrect parctice of other drivers can be stopped, but there seems to be no solution to the ever increasing virus that has spread.
