Let's remove the door panel of a Volkswagen Golf 4 (driver's side), and see how to proceed. Before starting the disassembly, disconnect the battery terminals located in the engine bay. Use a lever to remove the cover of the internal handle (unscrew the screws on the handle), then remove the reflector (with a lever).

Unscrew the remaining screws on the door panel and detach the retaining clips. Finally, pull the panel away with your hands and detach it from the door.

Refitting is done in reverse order.

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.
