In this tutorial, you will see how to install the original roof bars on a Volkswagen Golf MK7, a very simple and quick operation. First, attach the 4 supports to each bar if they are not already factory-fitted.

Then, open the front doors and remove the two caps located on the upper inner edge. Once done, remove the covers from the supports of the first bar, position it on the roof, and insert the appropriate pins into the newly exposed holes.

Once securely tightened, repeat the process for the rear bar, which will have two pins on each side.

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.
