How do you replace the external wing mirror (passenger side) of an Audi A3? Follow these steps. Using a plastic or rubber lever, pry between the perimeter of the mirror frame and the mirror glass.

Apply pressure until the glass detaches from the mirror; this is a delicate operation as the glass or the mirror itself may break. Once the damaged mirror is removed, unscrew the round plastic plate with a screwdriver.

Attach the new mirror to the mirror holder plate. Finally, snap the plastic clips into the supports of the mirror.

How to Reset the Tyre Pressure Warning Light on a Kia Rio?

The tyre pressure warning light displayed on the instrument cluster of the Kia Rio can be reset by inflating the tyres until they reach the recommended pressure value: this value is indicated on the sticker affixed to the driver's door pillar. Once all tyres have been inflated to the recommended pressure, turn on the ignition to check that the light has disappeared: if it is still present, it may be necessary to drive for a few miles, allowing the sensors to work and thus turning off the light.
