Video tutorial

This video shows how to fit universal roof bars on a Volkswagen Golf. Universal roof bars are used on cars with and without roof rails (fixed bars secured to the roof of the car). Fit the roof bar kit as shown in the video, calibrating the bars according to the width of the car. Position the brackets at both ends of the doors on the car's original roof rails.

Once the width of the anchoring brackets is adjusted, tighten the pins with the butterfly bolt (if a lock is present) until they are fully secured to the car's roof rails.

Finally, apply the safety caps on both sides.

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.
