"Why do car windows have small black dots?"

From time to time, you get stuck in traffic.

Then what do you do
You look directly at your windshield. And you probably notice small black dots around the edges.

"Why do car windows have small black dots?"

Have you ever wondered what they are?
And what about the black lines that pass through the back window?
Well, here is your answer! The points leave the black band that surrounds the window. That band is called Frit. Now (ha) there is nothing "fried": it is ceramic paint that protects the sealant while holding the windshield. Without frying, the sun's rays eventually ruin that grip, and the windshield will simply come out. In addition, this glue does not look very good in the window, so there is fried to cover it. As for blackheads ... First, they serve a beautiful ceremony. They make a good transition from a gradient of black frit to the transparent window. This shield is also a security feature. In general, black dots are arranged in a "halftone" pattern. The more they move from the edge of the windshield, the smaller and more diffuse they become. In this way, the clear transition of black is hardly noticeable in the eyes. And it is important when you do not need any distractions while driving. Its second objective is temperature control. To give the windshield its folded shape, it is heated in an oven. The black part heats up naturally faster than the clear part. Therefore, blackheads are intended to expel heat and reduce optical distortion. Without them, the windshield would deteriorate. Black dots on the rear view mirror have another important function: they help protect your eyes from the sun. It can bring down both the driver and the passenger, but there will still be a difference between the two where the rear view mirror hangs. Therefore, there is a group of boat-shaped black dots. Blackheads are not the only part of your car that you might be thinking about,

AS Line Since you are still looking at your windshield, did you notice that there is a small line with a down arrow and AS 1 written on it?
You do not want to?
OK, check it out. I'm waiting ... Okay, check it out later. This is the accepted security code for glass. AS 1 means that the glass must be exposed to less than 75% light. The line and arrow mean "from this point and down." Therefore, you can dye anything above, but nothing below. This code is strictly for the windshield. If you look at the windows next to it, you will see a small AS 2 symbol; This means that the glass must leave at least 70% of the light. If you see AS 3, this is rare and means that the light transmittance can be less than 70%. Then, if you wish, you can dye that window a bit. - Lines in the back window If you live in a part of the world with seasonal weather, then you should be familiar with snow and ice. They are the worst nightmare of all drivers during the winter months. Fortunately, you have an assistant with you on your scraping and frosting mission: thin black lines in the back window. Cars vary from model to model, but most have this feature as part of the defrosting system. Small currents pass through those lines to slightly heat the glass and melt the snow and ice or eliminate any tarnish condensation. By the way, your front windshield also needs protection against snow, ice, and fog. You can have light black lines that block your view, so there are air vents that fill the dashboard with hot air.

The Snowflake Light Have you ever noticed a little snowflake light up on your dashboard?

This is the Frost or Freeze Warning, and it lights up automatically to inform you that the temperature outside has dropped so much that the roads are likely to freeze. When the snowflake is yellow, the temperature is getting close to freezing, probably around 40°F. When it's red, it's at or below freezing (32°F). Don't confuse this snowflake with the Winter Mode indicator though. It normally also looks like a snowflake or just a W. It turns on and off when you push a button to make your car move in second or third gear. It prevents your tires from spinning and slipping when you’re driving on icy roads.- Gas Tank Locator If you've ever borrowed a car from someone or rented a vehicle, you’ve probably been in this situation. You pull up to a gas pump only to realize you have no idea what side the tank is on! Next time, instead of getting out to check (and will you look at that – you guessed wrong so now you gotta circle around to a different pump!), check this indicator on the dashboard first! It’s the little gas pump with an arrow pointing to the left or right. Yep, it’s telling you which side the tank is on! By the way, there are no strict regulations as to which side the tank should be on, only where it should be in the car. One guess is that manufacturers place it on different sides of the car to save us some time. Otherwise, lines at gas stations would be way longer!- Drowsiness Detector It does exactly what it says: if the car “feels” that you’ve been on the road for too long or you keep slowly drifting out of your lane, then this indicator will come on. It’s usually a little icon of a cup of coffee, and it means you need a break, so get off the road! This is a recent development, so not many cars have it yet. But in the near future, cars will likely also come with driver heart rate, breathing, and even eye movement monitoring systems to prevent you from dozing off on the road. Hey, maybe they shoot you a little shock into your seat. Woo Ho!- Stability Control When sensors decide your vehicle is about to spin out or isn't turning far enough, a little skidding car icon lights up on the dashboard. Stability control, as you can guess from the feature’s name, helps you stay stable on the road when it's wet or icy. Don't turn it off unless you're stuck in deep snow. At all other times, it's a real lifesaver.- Ceiling Handles Everyone knows there are handles above each of the doors in any car. They come in handy when you need something to hold onto in case the ride gets too crazy(your mother in law is driving), or the road starts getting too twisty-turn. You might’ve also seen people hanging fresh dry-cleaning or any clothes on them. But perhaps you didn't know that the original purpose of these handles was to help you get in and out of the car.

A must-have for bigger vehicles, right?- 
Conversation Mirror In most mini-vans and some crossover SUV, you can pull down a convex mirror from a special compartment in front of your rear view mirror.

Why do you need a second mirror over your head?
It helps you keep an eye on the kids, pets, or just passengers in the back seats without taking your eyes off the road for a second longer than needed.

Hey quit calling your brother a big fat pig. You want me to come back there?
(Ah, those were the days…)- Fully Customization Icons There are some indicators you just need to have on your dashboards, like your speed, gas, and emergency warnings. As for any extras you find useful and want to have easy access to – many new car models give you the luxury of choice of what's gonna be on your vehicle's console! You can also make a digital map out of it or get quick access to your favorite music!Bonus!- Find extra storage spaces in your car! This tip will be more or less useful depending on the car, but see if you can find any of these storage spaces in your ride! It could be a little pop-out compartment near your rear-view mirror that's just perfect for your cell phone or shades. Some cars have a secret hiding spot behind the climate control panel. You can also try checking under the passenger seat or behind the front row if you have across over. Chances are there are easy-to-remove bins so that you can drop whatever you want (like your dirty shoes) in there, take them out, and clean them afterward!
