Hey there, I have no clue how the hood latch adjustment works - heck, I don't even know where that would be adjusted ;) If it was for my car, I'd probably go to the garage to have them look at it, if it's causing noise on rougher roads. Drive safely!

True that unscrewing the nut wasn't fun. But the foam, I actually removed and replaced it several more times, as I first placed it and then did it again to film ;) The hardest part was filming and replacing it at the same time, haha

The covers are just decorative plastic, so the order doesn't matter. Where putting back the lugs in the star pattern is better to ensure a similar "pressure" all around.

I was teasing you a little. Great video.

You're welcome. Once it's done, it's done... I'm about to sell my second P2, for which I installed another wired dashcam. I'm internally debating if I get the dashcam off, or try to upsell with the vendor. I'm figuring removing the cable must be a bit faster than mounting it (variations of pulling...), but if the buyer is interested (at the right price), it saves me and him some time...

@@novajuiceev While I was installing it, a guy that happens to work for Polestar came over and started asking me what was wrong and why I was pulling the car apart. He was very concerned that I was going in the fusebox. I would try and upsell it, because it's standard equipment in a Tesla and very useful to have for insurance purposes.

What do you mean by switched supply, that gets on or off when the car is on or off? Yes, that's the point of connecting it to 2 different places, one that is constantly powered, and the other that gets turned off a couple of minutes after the car is parked/doors locked.

It's a test to see if your motivation is big enough ;)

Hi there, fellow Belgian: no, the actual tire ("rubber") is the same, but the rim (the "metal") is slightly larger in the back. One way that I didn't mention while filming the video, but that I ended up using more the last time I changed back from winter wheels, is if you look at the "holes" in the rims: the holes are deeper for the back wheels than for the front wheels.

Ok merci Donc pas de différence au niveau des pneus Je suppose que ne va jamais mettre les pneus avant à l’arrière ?

No, the exterior black plastic remains as is, and thats fine by me. The interior piano trim, I did myself (I didn't make a video of it, but there are plenty to find on YT - it's really not rocket science).

I just made a quick video to show you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKPIXmdqiLCWrNk Basically, you have to open the lid until it touches the back part of the glove box, when it's almost vertical, then you lift it upwards so that it gets out of its hinges, then you flip it back a bit towards the back and get it out horizontally. Check out the video for a demo ;)

Hi Kevin, sorry that the video is useless. I simply used plyers (if that is the correct English word). Some cars apparently come with plastic plyers (see car manual), mine didn't, so I just used one of my regular tools.

@@novajuiceev 1st, please forgive my rudeness that wasn't called for on my part, just was frustrated. My 24' P2 did come with the lug cover remover tool, once I found them and figured out what it was for. I wouldn't call them plyers though, more like plastic tweezers. They pop off the caps with ease. I'd suggest ordering it as it will not scratch inside the wheel or damage the covers as screw drivers or any non plastic tool could do. Thanks for replying.

I think I've seen this on Volvos, which isn't surprising. You're saying to pop out the "airbag" label and behind that there's a 8 or 10 mm bolt?

Yes, probably makes sense. Good that you checked that, and thanks for sharing the info on how you did it!

Oops, but glad you found that out before having changed all 4 wheels. I remember the Manual is explicit in saying you shouldn't swap them front to back (just a bit lazy to look it up now ;) )

It does give a slight visual effect - mostly subconscious, though ;) I remember reading (in the car's manual?) that it had some (performance? adherence?) advantages?

Where did you find them, are they back in stock at AliExpress? My original link doesn't work anymore.

Well, I've once elevated it enough that the other tire got off the ground, but I don't know, the feeling was "this is too high". So I'm doing them one at a time, most of the time of changing the tire is not in jacking it up, but unscrewing, placing the new tire and rescrewing. Have you tried doing both tires at one?

I looked in the manual, the description of the fuses, and selected one that seemed to work on equipment that doesn't stay on when the car is parked.

@@novajuiceev thank you. Great vid 👍

Yup, that's what I discovered - too bad, when I switched tires between my 2 P2, I had to use an intermediary tire to place back on car 1 when moving the tire to car 2, and then replace that intermediary tire when bringing back the tire from car 2 to car 1 - lots of jacking up and down that would have been skipped if I could place a jack stand somewhere.

Did you end up placing it?

You're most welcome. Have you raised your own car?

Yup, the joys of the Internet

Thanks for the proper names. Since I didn't open a jack before, I just went on the safe side and bought a 3 ton, I can't give a formal advice on using a lower weight rated jack.

Thanks for thinking - I'm not searching for monetizing anything here, just sharing what has been useful for me.

Ha - I guess: push the door more ;)

The lawsuit has been solved since a couple of months, Polestar is now allowed to sell their cars again in France...

Yup - citoyenneté et résidence ne sont pas toujours identiques ;)

hahaha

Sometimes, you just need to know how to do something, to respect even more those that do it daily...

No - the first time I did it, I dutifully reset the monitoring, but the last time I didn't even think about it. The monitoring didn't bother (although, previously, unrelated from tire changing, I have had a warning and had indeed to add pressure - so the system does work)

I think a dedicated tool would be better, less risk of damaging the rims with a metal screwdriver. I looked for that tool (which is also mentioned in the manual, page linked to from the description), but couldn't find it in the satchel in the frunk. So went with the good 'ol screwdriver ;)

Yeah. - it's solved now (after Polestar started a lawsuit against Citroen for supposedly copied rims/wheels designs :facepalm:) - Polestar cars can now be sold again in France.

The lawsuit is no more, Polestar has been able to start selling their cars in France again (after Polestar started a lawsuit against Citroen for supposedly copied rims design... Sigh. ;) )

First of, a big thanks the creator of this video. He gave me the inspiration to actually go for a front AND rear dashcam. The video gave me a lot of confidence and valuable information to start pulling the different panels in the car and how to wire the rear cam. Anyway, I am also using a Fitcamx and also had radio interference at some parts of my daily route (100 miles in total). This was not the case the week before I installed the dashcam. The radio antenna is at the back connected by a tiny wire to the back window (see timestamp 26:48). In my first attempt the rear cam cable was touching the antenna wire probably causing interference. Well, that is what I suspected back then. So, I made sure the wire to the rear cam is as far away from the antenna wire as I could. I am going to re-wire it so it will pass below the antenna cable in stead of over it. Then it will be even further away from the antenna (wire). I also attached a ferrite bead on the rear cam cable: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrite_bead to help further reduce interference. After all this the interference is gone. I have to admit I do not have a real point of reference, because I installed the dashcam within a week of the delivery of the car. At least on my daily route I can enjoy DAB+ without dropouts now. Also, I did not take the same route from the video for the cable to the rear camera. Well, yes most of it. I pulled the plastic cover at the passenger seat in the front, got the cable to the back seat. From here I pulled on the plastic cover right next to the backseat where the back right seatbelt is. This opens a huge compartment/space allowing me to get the cable to the back very easily. I then stepped in to the trunk of the car and pulled on the right-side panel (where in the plus package a speaker would be, in the non-plus version the speaker grill is still here). Once I got that loose (I did not remove it), it was way quite easy to grab the cable (watch your hands, a lot of sharp plastic pieces back here) from the back seat to continue via the rubber tube to the rear camera. I used a wire to pull the cable, just like the trick with the hanger, to get the cable to the rubber tube. I hope this helps.

Thanks, but nothing really magical here. More grit and perseverance, and a good metal wire ;) No, no interference that I could detect (I pretty much never use the radio itself, the couple of times I played with it it seemed to work just fine - no other interferences with GPS or anything I'd know about)

Great to read that, thanks for the nice feedback, Jeroen. Thanks for the detailed explanation of how you mounted yours, I'm sure it can be useful to other folks. (I don't pretend to know the only way to mount these, so it's great to see other approaches)

19 inches. Glad the "makeshift screwdriver" trick can be of use!

I don't think I remember wiping that part (I do remember wiping the front windshield with one of the provided alcohol wipes, though).

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this. I'm thinking pretty much the same. Glad that lawsuit got dropped, though.

La polestar est une excellente voiture

Lawsuit has been dropped when Polestar launched a separate lawsuit on wheels design. I guess "you take some, you get some"

Yeah. Although I guess a lot of countries would behave that way. I'm thinking about the auto sector in the US (try messing with the unions), or like in Germany, pick a fight with BMW or Mercedes - not sure newcomes would be that well welcomed (see how Tesla gets treated - although they seem to come pretty good out of their fights, maybe the one counterexample to the rest)

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I'm glad it's settled now.
