I know Im kinda randomly asking but do anybody know a good place to stream newly released tv shows online ?

[@dakarigregory2444]

@Adam Denver I would suggest flixzone. You can find it by googling =)

@Adam Denver lately I have been using FlixZone. You can find it by googling :)

Where can I buy the crank and the assembly parts

[@ksd99999]

Just came to comment that your video was super helpful and made me feel confident to fix my umbrella again! For those watching this while putting the crank back, I found it helpful watching at 2.5x slower to make sure I didn’t miss anything.

[@cmarin5904]

Thank YOU! I fixed it! The wind had launched it - broken cord. A little bit different umbrella, same mechanisms inside. Very grateful.

[@ronaldjeffersonjr]

My crank umbrella was different than this one but the steps were close enough that I was able to fix it and figure out the rest. Thanks for post.

[@lc3722]

This is a great step by step video and saved me from buying a new umbrella! I was afraid to take the crank assembly apart, that it would explode like a clock, lol. Good to know it’s possible. 👍

[@hpeteacher9445]

Thank you for your video! My umbrella’s string broke and I was about to throw it away. I went looking for a new one, but very pricey and FUGLY! I watched your video and was able to fix mine. Again many thanks! 😀

[@jamesharvey-brown2212]

Saved me having to buy another one as an essential part (the cog) had fallen into the grass. After watching this I went back and eventually found it. After that it was easy. Thanks!

[@jerrodhankins2676]

Thank you so much for posting this! I have spent the last hour trying to figure out how the handle mechanism went back together

[@Jimmyjimjim]

Thanks; I've a cord replace on an umbrella, this has given me the understanding of how the mechanism works....off to get some cord now.

[@merryg6670]

This worked perfectly! Just replaced the cord in ours (different brand, same construction). The only snag was a literal snag. The replacement cord kept getting hung up on something inside the pole, so we just needed to attach it to some wire and feed that through first. Easy peasy

[@marialuisa5302]

Sure hated to throw away my sturdy umbrella but thanks to your video I can use it again. Haha I lost track of washer components to reassemble and my spring is different from your brand, but the washer pieces are the same. Once I assembled washers in right order my spring latch fell right into place. It works! ❤

[@love2all4eva991]

The string popped on my brand new umbrella. This video saved us. Thank you so much.

[@ntabor1507]

Awesome vid! Was about to throw my umbrella away. Fixed it after following the video.🙌🏾

[@MEGABOINK65]

My Umbrella string just got lose sooo, did the work on the crank assembly. saved me most steps. lol

[@Goonies-xh3qr]

Thanks! Helped me figure out what fell apart in mine and helped me put it back together! Works!

[@demiurgiac]

One of the better DIY videos!

[@Kingsire85]

Funktioniert super...hatte oben noch ein knickgelenk, welches noch auseinander gebaut werden musste....doch jetzt funktioniert es wieder einwandfrei...Danke Danke Danke

[@nicostendorf56]

Great video to help me put the umbrella back together! I just had to cut a piece of string off the end and retie it together, but this helped with getting the gear portion back in right!

[@oermama]

Thank you so much for this video, I managed to fix the crank myself.

[@user-ge7yu3ip4k]

Extremely helpful. Thank you.

[@Guayas59]

[@christopherbarrett9900]

Thanks so much! My parasol had no guide, so now I was able to fix it using this video guide

[@fiberbuiltumbrellascushions]

Glad we could help! Which parasol did you get? Take also a look on our webshop, curious to hear your thoughts! shop.fiberbuiltumbrellas.com

[@JorgeRodriguez-jo5tz]

Super explicación- con este manual ha sido facil hacer la reparación . En mi caso tuve problema al pasar cuerda dentro del tubo , ya que tubo tiene codo para inclinar . Me ayude con el alambre flexible , lo pasé antes enganchando cuerda y sacando juntos .

[@playerbase0509]

Thank you so much for this video. It really helped me do mine as well. However, on the washer that has a line in the middle with two tabs to secure the nut broke on one of the tabs. Do you know where I can get extras or send me a link on where to buy an extra one?

[@juanzavala3913]

Very helpful Thank you 👍

[@jagilo9677]

I followed this video a year ago with my crank umbrella. Mine doesn’t have the other hole at the top and i problem solved it last year, but this year I’m having a super senior moment. Ugh! I’ve watched this video maybe 10 times and recruited my family too. Can’t figure out how I managed last year!!!

[@rustyscrib6071]

I don't have that permanent string loop in the lower hub. Are they all supposed to have that?

[@patrickmckenzie9919]

Mine didn’t have one either I had to jury rig together.

[@nrgxpert]

Most outdoor umbrellas have a tilt mechanism. I took my crank apart, pulled out the damaged cord and tried to follow the directions in this video. However, the cord can't make it through the small hole at the tilt mechanism. It has to go through both halves. Please add instructions for replacing the cord on a tiltable umbrella.

[@jackgl2]

Follow the instructions to the point in which you have the cord through the pulley wheel at the top. Then you have to get a piece of 14 gauge wire, approx 6 ft. long and feed it from the pulley end, through the hole in the tilt mechanism down to the crank opening. Make sure you operate the tilt mechanism in both directions with the wire in the pole to make sure you are in the right path. If the tilt does not work in both directions you have to find the right hole opening in the tilt knuckle before moving on. You then connect the cord to the end of the wire with tape near the pulley and pull it through to the crank opening. Follow standard directions from there.

[@hartmanpeter]

@@jackgl2 Thank you, was looking for exactly this.

[@MrWmac96]

ha, exactly what i just went through...i used a coat hanger to catch and drag the chord through..worked much better than i thought it was going to be, putting the tilt back together and move pole to sit was fun too...

[@karendaleeclarinal1763]

How long the rope should be?

[@joanmcgraw7138]

Excelllent video. I have two umbrellas but one pernanent cord on bottom is cut. Is there any way to replace it?

[@salata255]

Thank you I save my patio umbrella.

[@alfonsomartinez567]

Cambié piola rota, al no encontrar la piola utilicé fibra óptica de 3 mm. funciona bien, tengo que esperar para ver la durabilidad con el uso.

[@renebrown995]

My question is, why do my umbrella not have a permanent loop string at the top of to tie knot and put safety ball. My umbrella didn't come with a safety loop or safety ball on it. The to of my pole has a wheel in it to feed the string through. It is attached with studs so I cannot remove wheel to re thread the string.. My string was so worn I could not Salvage enough of it to try to re-tie it at the top. Do you know how I can find replacement part?

[@wilmerpadron3622]

Good video and explanation

[@fiberbuiltumbrellascushions]

Thank you! Take a look also on our webshop shop.fiberbuiltumbrellas.com

[@lucillekenney8311]

I've fixed my cord twice now. The problem is, it's a tilt umbrella so there is a pushbutton at the upper end of the umbrella. How does the cord get threaded through that click button? There is space to put it through on either side of the button which is what I've done, twice. Low and behold, the cord broke again. I'm getting to be an expert at fixing the string, however, how do I get it to stop from breaking?

[@S.L.A.I]

Where can buy the chord i try 2 cord but both broke after 1 minute

[@egonolsen8243]

Vielen Dank. 😊

[@Cpt.Smithers]

Mine doesn’t have a backside to the pulley wheel to feed it through the other side so I’m stumped on what to do. Please help

[@wildfloweryogaandwell-bein9055]

Do you have a video for the replacement of a double umbrella?

[@betterae1grace]

Awesome thank you 🙏🏼

[@andrewoutside2073]

I need replacement guts ( screw spring washers and gear due to rust) anyone have a source? Please.

[@donyeakle3615]

I replaced my cord however the tabbed washer is shot. One of the internal tabs is worn and the other is gone. Can I get this from you?

[@MrWmac96]

ha, like feeding that cord is sooooo easy....and PRAY you don't have a tilt mechanism, that adds a whole new dynamic, it can be done, with an allen wrench to remove tilt, and coat hanger to try and catch rope to drag through little hole, good luck...

[@lesmygutierrez429]

Gracias gracias me re sirvió el video!! ❤❤

[@annicklacoste7060]

Bonjour PAULINE, le problème que je rencontre , le mien reste ouvert, je ne peux plus le fermer, donc je ne peux pas le coucher a plat et faire comme vous , la manivelle tourne dans le vide, avez-vous une solution a mon problème, comment dois-je m'y prendre ? merci d'avance

[@veronicaharvey3399]

Can I buy a replacement cord for my umbrella here

[@thorparker5996]

Thanks, I needed that?

[@_1ben]

Mine has a hub below the crank housing that hold an insert adapter can anyone guide me on how to remove this hub. It appears not to split in half but possibly slide

[@Salinense61]

This will be an easy fix for the umbrellas without a tilt button, the tilted umbrellas are a completely different animal.

[@davecgriffith]

Wish I'd read this a few hours ago, lol.

[@Vapor_Space]

Thank you, helped me a lot.

[@fiberbuiltumbrellascushions]

Glad to hear that!

[@1031_Life]

I REALLY need help. My pulley system is way different. I can’t find a single video or picture of it anywhere online or on KZbin. Everyone’s about to put their string in one way and out the other side. Mine isn’t like that. It’s all on the same side. … help!!!!!!!!

[@fortlauderdalerealty]

What type of cord to use and how much is needed? thanks

[@edwardjames9483]

Did you ever find the answer?

[@cgmwoodworx]

I'm going back with paracord

[@TheCoreyMarie]

What if the bar in the middle of the wash breaks ?

[@AlainGoldfarb]

I did it I did it I did it!!! thanks a lot!!!!

[@geraldj2062]

Didn't work for me, as I couldn't get new cord to pass the pulley and go down towards handle. Eventually drilled out rivets holding pulley in, fed cord on manually, re riveted. BUT as mine has a tilt mechanism, (half way down) there was no way the new cord would pass through the narrow cord channel.

[@H2SO4H20]

I also found it very difficult to get the cord through the correct portion of the tilt mechanism. The previous reply from "jl" describes a procedure that works but it can take trial and error to get a wire connected to the cord to go through the correct path in the tilt joint. I think it took me over an hour of attempts to get the wire/cord through the correct path in the tilt hinge. Not fun!

[@misscre8iv]

I don't have a hole on the back of the pulley wheel. What do I do?

[@porgeusa]

I don't either! If you find a solution plz post it. Thanks

[@domi202]

anyone else have trouble feeding the cord thru? mine has led lights & a angle knuckle . the cord only goes about a foot in.

You lost me on the ribbet part? Whats a ribbet and how do you install the? What tolls do you need for the ribbet?

[@AusFastLife]

Yes, I see these cables break often judging by how many videos there are showing how to re-string a crank ubrella. I have replaced the broken cable in mine with a stainless steel cable but I am having trouble reassembling the crank. I filmed how I took apart the crank, and I have the parts back in exactly the same order. The umbrella cranks open well, but the crank does not hold in the open position now. The tension in the umbrella pulls the cable and makes the crank unwind and the umbrella closes when you let go of the handle. Does anyone know how this mechanism works and can suggest a fix? The order of each of those washers is correct, the direction of the cog and the ratchet the clicks against it is correct. The rachet clicks as I crank the umbrella open, whcih I think is right, but then it just closes when I let go of the handle. Very frustrating that there is no guidance on how to fix these things.

Is the "dog" on backwards? Double check those handle parts and assembly positions.
