Do you want to replace the speakers? Or replace the window lift motor? The video shows us the inside of the door and how to remove and reinstall the door panel. Since the video starts with the panel already removed, we recommend starting the view from minute 1:20, when the panel is being reinstalled onto the door.

First, you need to remove 2 screws; one is located near the area where the chrome handle is for opening the door, and the other is positioned a bit lower towards the rear of the door under a small cover. Once the screws are removed, you need to pop out all the clips around the perimeter of the panel.

Once the panel is free, lift it to disengage it from the small safety locking knob located at the top rear. Disconnect the handle-arm connection that leads to the lock, and at this point, if you want to completely remove the panel, you need to disconnect the speaker wires at the bottom.

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.
