Is the mirror on your Volkswagen Golf 5 damaged? Here’s how to remove and refit it. Use a plastic lever to pry between the edge of the mirror frame and the mirror glass. Pry until the glass detaches from the mirror (disconnect the power cable); this operation is very delicate as the glass or the mirror itself may break.

Press on the locking clips to disconnect the mirror cover, and replace the damaged part with the new one. Fit the mirror with the plastic clips into the exterior mirror, and connect the terminal. Check if the mirror moves or is fixed to the mirror assembly.

How to reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Kia Niro EV?

To reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Kia Niro EV, inflate the tyres until they reach the correct pressure value. This value is indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tyres are inflated, turn on the instrument cluster to check that the warning light has completely disappeared from the display. If it is still present, you may need to drive for a few miles to ensure it disappears completely from the screen.
