Replacing the glass of the external wing mirror is very simple and economical as it is a readily available aftermarket part; detach the support plate of the damaged mirror by levering on the rear and pulling it away enough to disconnect the wires of the mirror heating system; transfer the metal tab from the old to the new mirror support plate, connect the wires of the heating system (they do not have a fixed position) and align the fixing tabs to press and lock them in place correctly.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on a MG ZS?

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.
