Even with careful handling and a relaxed driving style, the ravages of time take their toll on these and other vehicle parts. It's a good thing that AIC Germany has expanded its range of cables for manual transmissions and gear levers.

If only it were as easy as driving a bumper car at a fairground: just twitch the steering wheel – cool and easy with one hand – and the car will spin. Some people try to steer their vehicle out of a parking space in a similarly casual manner – which is no problem thanks to power steering. The rack and pinion steering that is widely used today is relatively robust, but not indestructible.

Today, the quickly retractable and extendable cargo area cover serves primarily as a privacy screen from prying eyes. If the roll-up mechanism is defective or the guides and brackets break, which can happen during loading and unloading, AIC Germany has suitable replacements.

Minor damage, major costs? That doesn’t necessarily have to be the case. At least not if it’s a defective flip or folding key. They are actually quite robust. But if such a key passes through many hands – as is the case, for example, with courier and care services or car hire companies – the housing can wear out over time.

Are you familiar with Alfred Vacheron? The French engineer is regarded as the inventor of the steering wheel, which he first used in 1894 in the legendary Paris-Rouen race in a ‘Panhard’ car. Although he did not make it onto the winners‘ podium, his development very quickly asserted itself in the industry against the back-then conventional steering bar.
