Removing the cover of the external rearview mirror of an Audi A3 vehicle is a simple and quick operation that can be easily done independently, also thanks to our short video tutorial. To perform this operation, we first need to remove the mirror, using a plastic lever.

After removing the mirror, we proceed to remove the cover by unscrewing the internal clips, and once the cover is removed, you can proceed with the internal maintenance of the mirror. The assembly of the mirror follows the same procedure but done in reverse.

During the removal of the cover, do not apply too much force as you could break it.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on a MG ZS?

On the instrument cluster of the MG ZS, the tire pressure light that appears can be reset by inflating the tires to the correct pressure: this value will be indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tires have been properly inflated, you can turn on the instrument cluster and navigate through the menu until you find the option that indicates tire pressure: if this screen shows the new values, the light will turn off; otherwise, you will need to drive for a few miles so that the sensors can read the new values and turn off the light afterward.
