Start the replacement of the rear wiper motor by removing the cap at the base of the wiper arm and unscrewing the bolt underneath it. Next, open the bonnet and remove the plastic panels on the sides to expose the various screws, then unscrew them one by one. Remove the plastics surrounding the glass and disconnect the electrical connector of the wiper motor.

As a final step, remove the remaining screws and disconnect the motor.

Now, simply replace it with the new one by reversing the procedure.

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.
