For the application of tinted films on the windows, specific equipment is required: glass cleaner and a sponge with a mesh for cleaning, application liquid, a specific cutter, a heat gun, and a set of squeegees. Keep in mind that the film will need to be shaped and moulded from the outside and then applied from the inside: to shape it, place the film externally on the glass with the release liner always facing outwards.

Once the glass has been carefully cleaned, wet it with the appropriate application liquid and place the film externally on the glass (with the release liner always facing outwards), shape it appropriately, and mould it with a squeegee and heat gun to avoid air bubbles and give it the correct curvature.

At this point, wet the glass internally, remove the outer liner from the film, and stick it to the glass from the inside: then use the squeegee to adhere it, eliminating all excess water.

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.
