FINALLY fixing my AWFUL RATTLING MAZDA for $5!

[@jakeryan3510]

I used red locktight on the Thanksgiving turkey and it was delicious! 😁🥃🍵

The most practical Jake, Love your choice of music 0:00 to 0:17. Keep on trucking. Greetings from good old South Africa... far-far-away

[@cpscps2679]

This is at least 102% Jake.

[@ElliottAlvis]

Man, this video was pretty *tight. I was *locked* in the entire time.

[@100PercentJake]

Sigh

There is no such thing as a good pun.

[@billpar]

I enjoy your quips Jake keep up the great work

[@ajw828]

Yay for fixing things that absolutely annoy the crap out of you over time!

[@trolling4dollars816]

The more I watch of your NC vides, the more I love my 96 NA.

[@rightwingsafetysquad9872]

The blue stuff on laptop screws is loctite? I always assumed it was just a tamper marker because it doesn't seem to hold very well.

[@srobin316]

Thank you for showing us how to stop the madness of that bolt rolling around!!!!

[@Happy78704gal]

Ha ha that was a daily battle for me driving around or playing hide and go seek where the bolt went! Finally had to get an oil change and the dealer fixed it for free!

[@dave11686]

Happy Tuesday!

[@carlmcrobcustomgoldsmith11]

Would the visor make contact if you hot glued a magnet inside the trim you just had out? I use red thread lock on watch parts:)

[@mikemizzi4711]

Use some of that lock tight to tighten down that hair Jake ! Nice work 😄👍

[@Happy78704gal]

🤣😂

[@paddydewacker5289]

Enjoyed - Keep up the good work!

In the mid 1970s my first motorcycle was a 1957 BSA Bantam Major, a 149cc 2-stroke. I soon learned to use threadlock to stop threaded parts from vibrating loose, but still be removable. For a permanent fix there was bearing-lock. Have you tried the stick version of threadlock? No more squirting threadlock on your fingers. It is solid, like a glue stick or chap-stick (r).

[@100PercentJake]

I love old BSAs so much. I have not heard of the stick version of threadlocker but that sounds far, far more convenient to use.

[@garrisong]

The stick version is so much nicer no mess no fuss quick and easy.

[@admranger]

@@garrisong Agreed. Much easier to use.

[@yiyangcheng]

Nice dab Jake lol

[@treeskier802]

I’m shopping for an NC PRHT. Do the roofs have a lot of issues? Would I be better off with a soft top? I live where winter is severe so parking in my condo lot seems less problematic with a hard top. Plus I can drive as a coupe when it is overcast.

[@paulharvey5238]

This made my day. Made fixing my MX5 so easy when I thought it was going to be an absolute nightmare. Cheers :)

[@johnylong7616]

If you mix the two loctites it makes a good headlight restorer.

[@briangray5921]

I like the blue lock tite in the red tube

[@BraveWW]

just looking at this myself. I already fixed this once and the rattle seems to have come back. it looks like T40 works as well. the t30 almost turns the large ones, so I'm sure t35 would work, but my bit labeled t40 fits them as well. could have been a mix up of the bits tho...

[@Ryan123Jake]

Did you paint the rings for the air vents yourself? I did mine the other day but they came out dreadful because I ran out of space to masking tape them off....

[@johnasbury7511]

Try self adhesive Velcro to hold the sun visors closed

[@streettosky5983]

I used red locktite on my flywheel to crank bolts... is that an issue?

[@davidruffjr6045]

We watch because we do the same stuff

[@kevinm5177]

Man I wish I could work as fast as you do in Turbo Mode!

Hey Jake, I'm a new subscriber and fellow NC owner. Thanks for the LED upgrade video; I'd been hesitant to replace either of those as my previous experience with (well reviewed) LEDs swapped out was very lackluster (I ordered the ones you used from your link, though, arrive tomorrow). Quick thought regarding this video and your car; I have one of those very rare NCs that doesn't have the rattle (2008, 60k miles, previous owner really babied it), but I pulled out my sun visor assembly the other day to tap into my dome light to power some hidden-from-view RGB LEDs to illuminate the footwells and maybe under/behind the seat when the dome light is on & I think I may have a solution to your loose visors (I don't have that problem either, so I can't be certain). There's a metal bracket wrapped around the center pivot posts of the visors (attached with a Phillip's screw) & I can't help but wonder if yours isn't tight enough (I suspect they all loosen over time with use/car vibrations). I suspect you'll have to remove it, pinch it with a vise/hammer/weapon of choice & put it back in; alternatively, I suspect you could remove it, wrap a little paper/tape/whatever around the post & put it back together without modifying the bracket and achieve the same results. I know you have your hands full with the Buick at the moment, but it looks like you're almost done, so shoot me a reply if you get a chance to try it? If KZbin lets it, this is a link to a picture of it: ibb.co/6JMfdjM

[@MrSephkeene]

NEWS FLASH: Jake thinks he's a comedian. I'd have to agree. :D

[@nmarkert01]

So what size was the bit? T35 or T45 or what? Lol

[@leonardowee4220]

Velcro for the sun shades

[@atank]

Happened to my 2014 with 36k...

[@jamesluke7377]

Kind of like Chrysler is in love with red loctite at the manufacturing process. Atleast with Jeeps albeit my bet is with all of their vehicles.

[@JackBWatkins]

Take this problem to the dealership: Jake: I got a loose screw that needs some BLUE lock tight. Service Manager: Well we see that a lot, off the top of my head it is about $1,200 to fix unless we get in their and find more screws that are in the early stage of vibration failure. Jake: Can’t you just take the panel off and screw its back in? Service Manager: Mazda blue lock tight is very expensive and you have to remove the wind shield, the seats,, trunk lid and the the top actuators and realign the top. You should be glad it’s not a BMW, you have to remove body panels and pull the engine and then 90% of the time the replacement parts will also fail during reinstallation.

[@dave11686]

Hey Elliott!

[@ekw555]

sunvisor solution - epoxied magnets? byw - the Red LocTite secret is - you need heat to remove them. not saying it is always practical to apply it where it may have been used, but that's how it works.

[@Dabodizafa]

100% satisfying

[@willr69420]

*yaaaaay! It's part of the **#WICHITAKZbinMAFIA**!*

[@michaeltutty1540]

Gotta love modern engineering. It may be odd, but many new cars have more squeaks and rattles than my 30 year old Volvo with 400,000 miles on the clock.

[@johna6448]

That thread lock dispenser looks like the same tube Vaseline lip balm is packaged in. Gosh, don't mix up those.

[@craigvk2paw17]

Very informative but the steering wheels on the wrong side

[@americanjoe9767]

I’ll just keep the rattle…lol I would break everything and would never put it back together

[@admranger]

I thought Guten-Tite was a German torque spec...

[@ekw555]

let's get some LocTite . .. and a T-35 Torx bit? since you'll be at the store anyway? yeah - paused too soon.

[@sampsonite24]

we watch BECAUSE you have no idea what youre doing haha
