The outer door molding is secured with push clips: for removal, use special plastic levers with a forked end that allow you to extract the clips without damaging them, deforming the molding itself, and especially avoiding scratching the bodywork. For installation, first apply the mounting clips at the holes on the door; once applied, align the molding to perfectly match the clips with the mounting clips and press until they snap into place without excessive pressure.

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.
