For the maintenance of the sunroof on the BMW 1 Series, start by cleaning the glass using a specific ammonia-free glass cleaner, especially if there is a tinted film, and a microfiber cloth. The critical element is the maintenance of the seals, which are prone to dirt accumulation, the main cause of noise; exposure to UV rays causes hardening and loss of elasticity; mechanical friction with the moving glass wears them down. They must be kept clean with a neutral cleaner and a soft-bristled brush. Also, clean the internal areas of the track where dirt can accumulate. After cleaning, apply a seal protector like Mafra BacK 3 Plus, which can be found on Amazon with the code B00GMHM6ZM at a price of £3.96, plus £4.99 delivery. This type of product maintains elasticity, reduces friction, protects against UV rays, and prevents vibrations. It is recommended not to use lubricants based on mineral oil or common grease, as they can swell the rubber and damage the sliding mechanisms.

How to Reset the Tyre Pressure Warning Light on the Jeep Renegade?
To reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Jeep Renegade, inflate the tyres until they reach the recommended pressure: this value is indicated on the sticker attached to the driver’s door pillar.

At this point, press and hold the OK button on the right side of the steering wheel to make the warning light disappear. by ScegliAuto More videos
