How to replace rubber pedals with aluminum ones on the Volkswagen Golf VII

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf VII, MK 7, Golf 7 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video, we see how to replace the pedal covers of the Volkswagen Golf VII with very decorative ones in aluminum: we can find them at a great price on AliExpress, as recommended by the youtuber with the code 32401305389 for 11.42 euros for the kit of 4 pieces + 6.94 euros for delivery. The first thing to do is to remove the rubber pedal covers that are factory-installed on the car: they are easily removed. In the same way, we will also put in place the new ones, which have tabs that we will need to align with the metal pedals of the car, in order to secure them properly. As for the footrest, the situation is more complex, because we will have to disassemble the entire side panel - starting from the lever that releases the front hood - in order to detach the rubber footrest. We put the new one in its place and reassemble everything.

How to Replace the External Wing Mirror on a Ford C MAX

In the event of a breakage, it will be necessary to replace the external wing mirror on the 2011 Ford C MAX. This operation is easily performed independently. Start by removing the internal cover of the mirror with a plastic lever. Then, use a socket wrench to remove the securing pins. Once the pins are removed, you can take off the mirror, but not before disconnecting the power connectors. Then proceed to fit the new mirror.
