Operation: What you need to know about roof racks.

In this video, we can learn many things about roof racks, a very useful accessory for carrying on the roof of our car everything that doesn't fit inside. They are almost always made of steel (square-shaped) or aluminum (more aerodynamic shape), which are less noisy. There are different ways to secure the bars; brackets, fixed points, the longitudinal bar, high or low, or (for cars equipped with them) the gutters. Remember to always load the car in a way that the load is well distributed. The load can protrude laterally by 30 cm, and 30% of the car's length rearward, as long as the protruding load sign is installed. The load CANNOT protrude forward. As for the installation, the first bar should be positioned 15 cm ahead of the junction point of the two doors, and the second one at a distance of 70 cm from the first. We should tighten the screws between 2 and 4 Nm and let's not forget the gaskets if we don't want to hear an annoying whistle while traveling.

How to open the bonnet of the Volkswagen Polo

Let's see in this short and simple guide the instructions that will allow us to open the bonnet of the Volkswagen Polo. First of all we open the front door, on the driver's side, and start pulling the opening lever of the engine hood, in order to open the lock; then let's move to the front of the vehicle and unhook the tab that we find on the central part, above the manufacturer's emblem, as shown in the video. At this point we block the bonnet with the lateral rod; then we accompany the bonnet down to close it again!
