In this video, you will see how to remove the glove compartment from the Volkswagen New Beetle. First, remove the cover of the dashboard spacer on the passenger side using a plastic trim tool to avoid scratching the bodywork.

Then, remove the screws with an Allen key. There are three screws at the bottom of the glove compartment and three on the side where you removed the cover. On the inside, you will find two more screws at the top, just below the dashboard.

Once all these screws are removed, the glove compartment will come out quite easily. Just be careful with the electrical connector for the interior light, which you will need to disconnect before removing the entire component.

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.
