Common Tesla annoyance solved!
Let's solve a first world problem...
Tesla Model S 3 X Y
It's impossible to fill windshield washer fluid without spilling it. Especially when the cap keeps flopping over blocking the filler tube.
This rubbed/silicone funnel was purchased on Aliexpress.
Easy to install, stays in place and includes its own cap!
Simply pull out the existing Tesla cap by gently but firmly pulling it off with the tube collar.
Push the funnel in making sure it is well seated all the way down the filler tube.

Ford Edge Hood Latch Fix

Repair a hood latch that will not latch closed. Mine was due to corrosion so I replaced the latch and the pull cable. You may be able to quickly repair your latch by opening up the release cable housing where the connection is made and sanding down the aluminum coupling so it moves freely.

How to - Pool timer for 240V Pump and 110V Chlorinator

Video is too quick to read text... please use the Pause button. Pool timers can only switch 120V or 240V. If you use a pump timer, the chlorinator should also be shut off or it will damage and shorten lifespan. This video explains how to use a standard timer or Smart timer and existing pool timer switch to control both. The Pool Timer function is ignored. Using a standard 120V timer, the old po...

How to make the easiest Router table
zhlédnutí 14Před 3 lety
How to make a super easy and compact router table for a trim router out of wood scraps you already have. Easiest method I've seen so far for occasional use. #woodworking #router
clever!
Curious, so is the wood piece attached to the frame of the gazebo at all? Or does it just sit flushed against the frame and the top and bottom bolts used for the mount is what is holding everything in place? I have a steel gazebo with similar frame and wondering if this same setup would work.
LOOKS NICE BUT I WOULDN'T HAVE ADDED THE TV, NOBODY IS GOING TO TWIST SIDEWAYS TO WATCH TV ANYWAY SPECIALLY OUTDOORS
Watching Tesla owners work on their own vehicles is an interesting thing.
We look for thses things now because there's no spark plugs to replace.
lucky too, otherwise the heads would likely need replacing due to cross threading.
First I thought "Oh, someone's invented the funnel again", but this seems pretty handy as it remains in place.
Yes. And it's flexes so it can stay in place. No hassle.
they make funnels for filling fluids on vehicles... and they're universal... oil, trans fluid, wiper fluid....
Yes. This one is dedicated and stays in place.
You posted this on the wrong day.
Easter or Sundays?

What type of windshield wiper fluid do you use?
I like using marvel mystery oil
I'm in Canada. We always put cold rated fluid by habit. I could have put water or diluted.
Would be nice to see how you got the hood open in the first place. Wife's battery died and hood won't open.
In my case, I could open the hood but it would not latch closed. If you can reach the black plastic tube shown at 2:25, you can try pulling the white towards the drivers side to unlatch. Maybe a google search of Ford forums can provide some clues of how to unlatch.
Probably late with this but that just happened to me yesterday. The hood release would pop the hood but the latch wouldn’t open and release. I could lift the hood just a couple inches. I was able to remove the u shaped bracket that is mounted to the hood using a 10mm box end wrench, then opened the hood. Now I have to replace/repair the cable.
@@jtaylorstudios I got it. I just used a long screwdriver and pushed the latch from the grill. Got lucky once lol lubed the heck out of it and it's working again. I wouldn't buy another Ford edge ever. Everything about it is dumb. Can't charge a dead battery while it's installed you have to disconnect a cable or the lights flash and the radio hums and pops. Even with the keys out it still makes all kinds of crazy noises and flashing lights when I charge the battery. Connected a trickle charger thinking the big charger was to much and as soon as the battery got a slight charge the lights started flashing and killed the battery.
Great idea and great video. Explored this option and then found the ZeboZAP that was easier to install.
I got the ZeboZAP for my gazebo and love it. Saved so much money from trying to build a wall and other complicated solution . The gazebo ZeboZAP was fast and easy to install our 50” tv without any drilling into our gazebo post. Best part it swivels in and out and you can adjust the height as you like.
Zebozap is solid. Highly recommend it to anyone’ with a gazebo or pergola. DIY and good price.
Argh - I was just about to buy this mount and then realized that my Yardistry 12X16 Gazebo is engineered differently so that I don't have access on top of the beam for the top bolt. Looks like the beams are now closer to the edge of the roofline and there is a smaller piece of wood on the outside that blocks the gap at the top. Really disappointed!
Try the ZeboZAP. Straps on to yardistry vertical post easily. Took me 10 minutes to get my 43inch tv up and running . Also swivels 360 degrees.
Does it work with Alexa and SmartThings?
According to the packaging, yes. But I have only tried with Google Assistant.
Was looking for a way to install a custom reverse camera on my fiat 500 and with a pleasant surprise to see a fellow Quebecers licence plate !
Does your tv flip up/in toward the ceiling?
No, it doesn't. It is possible but I haven't tried yet. Don't want it looking like a hack job and must be safe for my family to use. I need to think it though:)
Good job man,but it would Have been good if you showed how you removed the cable from the latch
Did you ever figure out how to fold it up?
I haven't tried yet. A bit concerned about my kids or wife trying to lower it safely. Need to think it through first.
That’s exactly what Iam looking for Also getting a 50/55 in tv from Costco I have gfci outside Getting my Gazeboo installed next week . Can’t wait ,Iam also adding 2 wireless speakers by Sonos from Costco also . Thanks
Great! I am about to make a start video to show the tv speaker setup I have. Wired; not wireless. Tv speakers project backwards towards the neighbors yard so had to be done.
Could you give me the link on Amazon where you bought the part because I can't find it for my car, it's the same vehicle.
Thank you man , this is the best tutorial on how to replace this part for the year make and model , once you find the correct part , thanks again.
Thanks. I'm glad it helped. Part seems readily available on Amazon. Bought a second one for $15
Thanks to your video I was able to put mines up. I used a 50’ tv. I love it.
Man this is great & Thank you for sharing this. I have the same Costco gazebo & I just ordered the same TV Mount & weather proof cover you recommended. I'll be buying a 50' from Costco tomorrow. I'm going to do it the same way you did & I will use the 1/4 bolt. Can you tell me what's the black rubber tube was used for? I see it in your pic of the mount but nothing was said about it. Thanks again.
what size tv is that? looks awesome though!!
46". Got lucky. Went on Facebook Marketplace and found it immediately. $100 (Canadian $), fully functional with ARC HDMI so I only need my fire stick remote. If ever it gets damaged from being outside, it's no big deal. But first summer passed and it is still super clean.
I love u
Could you give me the link on Amazon where you bought the part because I can't find it for my car, it's the same vehicle.
In your description, it says to cut the 2/3 fuel line and you're replacing it with a 3/8 fuel line. In the video, I can see a glossy line which I'm guessing is the 2/3, and the matte black fuel is clearly bigger I'm not sure in the video is it a comparison? You mentioned cut why cut the line you could probably pull both ends out. You lost me when you said to cut hose/line past the end of the old valve. Correct me if I'm wrong basically replace the old 2/3 with 3/8
What size TV did you use? Was thinking of a 55”, but was worried that may be too big. It only weighs 30 pounds though so probably would be fine…not 100%. Thanks for the video btw, great stuff
Dude! Thank you! Trying this next week. Only video on youtube with this 'shortcut'.
I've done the repair. I cleared the engine light and will update if the engine light comes back on. The repair is easy but I had trouble with the green tab connector thing. I would recommend anyone else inspects another connector like this before attempting to open this one. You have to push tabs below toward the electrical direction while simultaneously pulling up on the green curved part. See this video for explanation: czcams.com/video/Lq_19qE5qhM/video.html
@@Max-ut1hz Cool! I am glad the instructions were clear enough for you to have some confidence to do it. Mine has been running trouble free since before the video was posted. Worst case, if you have to repair again, it will be easier now!
Thank you for sharing this. My question is does the TV always hang there? I am looking for a solution that I can have it hang like yours is but then have the arm go up towards the roof so that the TV is stored basically against the roof. I want to do this so that my view is not always the TV but then the TV can be pulled down when I want to watch it. Does this set up do that?
Actually, I think this is possible. The lower screw on the vertical arm can be replaced with a pin. Remove the pin and fold up to ceiling. Just need to figure out a mechanism to hold in place. I May try this next summer. Tv stored indoors for winter.
There are quite a few "flip down" TV mounts on Amazon that will do what you're looking for. They're not cheap, though. Some are even motorized.
Just tried to install a flip down bracket for a 55 in tv and the way it’s designed want work on a gazebo. We tried everything. Please let me know if anyone can figure it out!
did you run the conduit though the inside of the post or terminate it after you entered the bottom area of weed?
Conduit is only where the wire would otherwise be exposed. The wire inside the post does not conduit. Note: I used outdoor rated wire so no conduit needed other than esthetics and to avoid tripping hazard.
Genius
NOT REALLY
Where did you buy this tv mount. I am trying to mount my tv to my Costco Gazebo 😆
Amazon..... www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07WMMTG5L/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Thanks for the video. I used the same equipment to mount my tv to a metal canopy.
Can you show me how you did it? I want to do the same on my aluminium gazebo but can't seem to see someone online who did it. The aluminium frame seems a bit weak to hold the weight of the stand and tv...
@@paulfortin08 maybe you can mount the tv on the shorter side. Should be stronger than a longer span. Maybe you can clamp the mount around the aluminum same as I did in the video
The ZeboZAP for metal gazebo is easy
Can you flip the TV up and out of the way when not in use?
Can we not go directly into the gazeebo wood?
How do you keep it from getting wet when it rains?
I purchased a weatherproof cover (canvas) on Amazon. Link in description. Plenty of options. But for winter, I intend to bring the tv inside.
Thinking of doing the same for my tv setup how has it been holding up
He showed a TV cover your dumb truck
Great! I have a cover on it and it is somewhat sheltered from the rain as it is protected by the gazebo. I purchased a cheap used tv on Facebook marketplace just in case it.
Love the setup, it's beyond my scope of DIY, I can mount the TV, but the electrical not to sure....lol Thanks for the video
Im no electrician, but it isn't complicated. You only need one GFCI plug at the power source. Your friendly Home Depot guy can explain!
I got the ZeboZAP tv mount for yardistry. Strapped the tv on instead of the ceiling. Took me 10 minutes.
