Below you will find information on how to replace the brackets that open and close the trunk of your Volkswagen Polo. First, as seen in the video, we remove the old and worn brackets one by one. Removing them is very simple, just use a flathead screwdriver to pry on the fastening clip and with a small pull remove the bracket from the pin to which it is attached.

This procedure must be done both above and below and repeated for both brackets.

Once the worn bracket is removed, we proceed to install the new one, always fitting it as shown in the video. Again, using the screwdriver, we secure the bracket to its pins.

Repeat the procedure on the other side and the job is done.

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.
