Thanks for the video. We just discovered that our company delivery car is one of the models with no spare. That is not an option. In the blowout situation my driver had, there was no amount of fix-a-flat that would’ve helped. We had to have the car towed in to get a new tire. We were lucky that it happened just a couple of miles from where we are located and not when he was delivering to a rural area 20 miles from the nearest service location. Now I get to explain to our corporate peeps why we need to purchase a whole spare tire assembly for the vehicle. 🤦♀️
That was hilarious Everything you should not do step by step. So glad I clicked on the video as it was the first one, I looked at. I just bought one of these cars today and without the manual in the car I wanted to find out the proper way to use. Thanks Guy this was really helpful
I bought a spare and will throw it in the trunk for any long drives. I've also plugged many tires in my life and will put a plug kit and higher quality compressor in there. They should have just offered the rear tire mount like their overseas model.
Yeah there is enough Room underneath 2 mount it. It's crazy they don't give you a spare. All that money you spend and the fact that you buy their brand and they insult you by not even giving you a spare tire. I don't think anybody should ever by a vehicle without a spare tire brand new. Everybody should always look in the trunk and make sure it has a spare enough it doesn't tell them you are not going to buy it. I guarantee if we all stood up to these people they would start respecting us in stop ripping us off. Thanks for watching famous for
Even a donut would solve a whole bunch of anxiety I have. I just purchased the Ecosport Titanium edition and not having a spare almost killed the deal. I have a little more confidence after watching this, plus the fact I have a multitude of Roadside assistance. Add in your tutorial here, thanks for sharing.
interesting video, thanks for sharing, a very practical solution, no need for a spare tire, must be expensive as here in the Philippines they still opted for a spare tire, probably to keep the sale price down and attractive, glad I got the Ecosport ♥
I knew the car had no spare, but didn't even know about that repair stuff in there. I guess the best thing I can do is get some tire plugs, cement, scissors jack, the tire tool for the patches and more goop and keep it with the Ford kit. I'd guess the stuff is the same as slime used for bikes. I wonder if they sell a "baby spare" to fit these wheels. Looks like you could rig storage underneath. Good Video - I'm surprised that thing even worked.
Yeah, I think you could fit a donut spare underneath. Get a used one from a salvage yard. I was surprised it worked too, especially after screwing it all up to begin with. Thanks for watching and commenting. Much appreciated.
Ive got one of these kits never had to use it because ive bought a space saver wheel instead they might repair a small puncture not sure about a large one though
Can the bottle be removed and if so how? I tried taking the bottle out since it has to be screwed on and twisting it the opposite direction and it won't come out.
Don’t puncture the tin foil it’ll puncture when u screw it on and the valve is for air over flow if u fill it to much lol! I just wanted to know what the funnel thing and the bar are for?
@@justinfountain3496 yeah I catch shit for that video but atleast I'm honest. I had zero clue on that kit that day. Glad it helped. Thanks for dropping a comment.
You can't use a conventional funnel on a 1gallon petrol can to put some juice in your tank on capless petrol tanks like modern ford's you have to push the special funnel in your kit into the petrol filler hole
Cause Ford thinks that even though you spent your hard earned money a spare is too expensive to just give you, so you have to buy one. You must order it when ordering the vehicle new. Ford sucks! They don't care about anything besides profit.
@JC-io2ke just had it not work on me. Luckily I was a block from the dealership and just drove in. The glue just leaked out and bubbled all over the ground. No idea why it didn't work. I've always dreaded this day. Everything about this car sucks. Lesson learned.
I could be all Hollywood and edit or make a video where I look like I know what I'm doing. Or I could just be real. I chose to be real. Thanks for watching. Start a RUclips Channel and show us all how it's done.
Worked a treat, certainly much safer, cleaner, easier, and less labour intensive than having to jack up the car, try to remove a wheel which may be fused to the hub, (as I found once), then change the wheel, not to mention the environmental benefits of less Co2 emissions from the reduced weight, the tyre sealant can usually be washed out to repair the damage in the tyre too, contrary to popular myths that this ruins the tyre!.
WARNING! Watch video in its entirety first! I did not. Now thinking of getting a hair cut to get this tire sealant out of my hair. Anyone have a tutorial on how to get this out of your hair, clothes, and interior of a passenger car door that was opened? Also, never try tasting it- it doesn't taste good when its being shot into your mouth. :) My bad. Thanks for the tutorial.
@@roadsideguy5902it's all good, I did it to myself....it sprayed AS you were saying oops I shouldn't have opened the valve. I'm laughing at it now a few hours after the fact. Keep on helping people, this video did 99% help me. :)
Exactly but atleast I'm not afraid to show my fuck ups. 99.9% of you cowards are. I can edit it. I can redo it. But why? To act as though I know everything. To pretend I'm as perfect as you? Nah I will keep it real. If that makes me a clown what are you? Do you have a channel trying to help others?
@@roadsideguy5902 dnt mind him man. You did great I think. Mistakes r part of learning. I learned frm ur fk ups n dat help my confidence with handling d kit. Clowns him not u.
Sometimes seeing it done a bit wrong is the best way to learn. I would’ve done the exact same thing with the valve, so there you go.
I agree and I could be fake about it and edit it or not post it. But that's the problem. Everyone is afraid to be honest. Thanks for watching.
Definitely correct. I love how it’s all natural. Thanks mate
Thanks for showing me what not to do before I try or I would have made a bigger mess. Lol! Great video.
He'll, yeah, lol. Thanks

Saved me. Thanks for posting

The Ford spare is mounted on the rear, like a Jeep. They look really cool.
Thanks for the video. I used the kit today so your video really helped. Thanks again

Ty for letting people know a head
Glad I could help.
Ive got one of these kits never had to use it because ive bought a space saver wheel instead they might repair a small puncture not sure about a large one though
Had a flat today. I tried to use this nonsense and didn't turn the valve on. Had to get a tow. But where do you get more of this stuff anyway?
Just buy a can of fix a flat. It's the same thing. Thanks for watching.
Can the bottle be removed and if so how? I tried taking the bottle out since it has to be screwed on and twisting it the opposite direction and it won't come out.
I'd imagine the valve is there to clean out anything residual left in the line
Yeah I think you're right. I figured that out the hard way hahahahahaha. Thanks for watching
Haha.. excellent video of how Not to 😂
And i dont even have one but i did wonder why you would open the air relief valve from the start lol
Thanks hahahha I learned quick hahahhaha thanks for watching and commenting.
Don’t puncture the tin foil it’ll puncture when u screw it on and the valve is for air over flow if u fill it to much lol! I just wanted to know what the funnel thing and the bar are for?
Lol shit don't ask me can't you tell i was clueless hahahahah thanks for watching
@@roadsideguy5902 your video was super helpful though! I’m glad I made the mistakes so I didn’t have too!😙
@@justinfountain3496 yeah I catch shit for that video but atleast I'm honest. I had zero clue on that kit that day. Glad it helped. Thanks for dropping a comment.
Funnel is for gas, I think if you have to siphon? The metal ring is for tow, my husband's Escape is also equipped with both.
You can't use a conventional funnel on a 1gallon petrol can to put some juice in your tank on capless petrol tanks like modern ford's you have to push the special funnel in your kit into the petrol filler hole
There is a plug for it to the right of the rear seat.
Thanks much appreciated
Y is there no spair tire

Who would want this rubbish system....I'd necver buy a car without a spare?

Sure is. But it doesn’t work for sidewall damage.
Thanks !
Glad to help.
Believe or not, I can't get the empty can off 🤔
Probably glued itself on by now.
I thought fix a flat was something that should NEVER be used?
You are absolutely correct. Unless it's a nail hole and you have no spare. Thanks for watching.
good effort, helpfull.
Thanks

Bro wish is watched the part where the glue went everywhere IM SCREWED IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE
I know that shot sucks
I think I'm going to buy tire plugs and a better air compressor along with a tube of fix a flat. The factory system looks like crap
My God I don't even know this when i buy..God bless you for helping but you screw it up!! 😇🙏🍷🍔
Nice
Good
Not the sharpest tack in the box.
Nope not even close my dude hahahah thanks for watching though
