To carry out this repair, we first need to get a new window lifter, which we can find, for example, on tratostrade. It is code 247-0628-R-1149 at a price of 19.18 euros, plus 6.49 euros for delivery.

We will then need to remove the inner panel of the door. By removing the screws, which are located behind the internal lock, inside the handle, and at the bottom of the panel.

When we remove the panel, we pay attention to the electrical connectors; however, we also need to remove the intermediate panel to access the window lifter, and we will do this by removing the screws located within the thickness of the door. Disconnect the motor connector and the motor itself.

Remove the glass with its frame to prevent it from falling on our head and dismantle the damaged window lifter, replacing it with the new one. Put it back in place and start putting the various pieces back in place, starting with the motor, connectors, the intermediate panel, and then the trim panel, also with its connectors.

It is a job that requires precision, but it is not difficult.

Take pictures to remember how the various pieces were arranged, and we will surely succeed.

To reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Kia Niro EV, inflate the tyres until they reach the correct pressure value. This value is indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tyres are inflated, turn on the instrument cluster to check that the warning light has completely disappeared from the display. If it is still present, you may need to drive for a few miles to ensure it disappears completely from the screen.
