This video is perfect. All the hiccups and the shots with arrows. Amazing! Thank you
Thank you for your kind words, Alexander. Hope it was detailed enough to be able to get the job done.
Uncle Mark does an excellent job explaining the process ...great video and step-by-step...very cool! one of the better in this genre. Appreciate!
Thank you for the positive feedback, Nhoj. I hope I am getting better with each new video. I have a bunch of videos on this van that may be helpful to you.
@@unclemarksdiyauto Thats great, Mark....I own the 2008 chrysler town country 4.0 and the camera and stereo quit one day. apparently it holds a hard drive and has over 700 tunes on it. I wouldn't know where to start to trouble shoot. Thanks for great videos on such a popular model...
@@lykpalegic not a problem. More thing to fix on this van. So keep watching!
Very good video! Took your time and showed where the tricky parts are. One “suggestion” on removing the nuts within the assembly and not losing them. Could you not add a small piece of something sticky, even a piece of gum just to hold the nut in the socket? Just a thought.
You could also lightly wrap the socket around the nut with masking tape just enough that the nut does not fall out, but tight enough on the socket so the tape stays on the socket. Great idea and suggestion you have, Golf Guy! Thanks for chiming in!
Hey thanks for the video. I was wondering how to remove the spoiler so I could add a back up camera. And I'm from Winnipeg too. Haha.
Me north a few hours. Take care and stay safe over the winter!
Another great video
Thanks backwoods3214!
Very helpful!
Thanks Al. Lots of videos in my Caravan playlist. Expect a few videos on replacing headlight & tail light bulbs with some LEDs in the next few weeks!
good job
Well I tried. Never had one off before, so Imdid my best. I didn't break anything so that is always a plus! LOL! Poor van needs a bit more attention. Summer tires, and rear brakes. Also have a gas cap message. Cleaned the filler neck. Didn't help. Bought a MOPAR cap from the dealer. Message was gone for a while but message has come back. (Not sure how many cycles it takes to turn it on)
Worked for me only big difference, the screws for my brake light were 7mm not 5.5mm. This was for a Vw Routan. reassembly of the spoiler is very tedious lol
Good to know, Polychro. Interesting that they would not use the same bolt sizes. Either way, I am glad you got your high mount working. You saved your self a few bucks for sure. Thanks for watching and for your comment. It is always nice to know if and when a video is helpful.
@@unclemarksdiyauto yea cause the Chrysler Dodge and VW are almost the same car, esp all the logos on the inside of the car have the chrysler logo lol,
Only issue i have i need to take off the spoiler again, cause the plastic pieces went missing and then one of the 10mm mounts then when i finally got it back on they appeared at the bottom of the door. I was also changing the right light mount on the gate, so they must of somehow came out from there. Overall thank you for this Video.
👍
Hope you are able to put it back on without problems!
There is 4 screws to hold it down, and on clip in the middle to hold it down? Because on my 2014 spoiler it looks like there might be 6 paces for screws. I havent took of the liner inside to see the screws from inside yet.
Now you have me thinking. Either way, it will be very similar. Once you have the inside plastic off, you will be able to tell. I honestly don't recall on the newer ones, Dean.
Mine blew of in the wind. I bough my van 3rd hand, there must have been a problem with the heating in the rear window, they washed it with the wrong stuff. The plastic on the spoiler needs to be fixed to be able to hold the screws. I have to melt the plastic, and add to them to thicken them all up. On top of it all the light's on the dash all went on, and the wind shield wipers, lol. Drove me crazy, still can't find the reason. Do you have any tips??? Any video's you recommend?@@unclemarksdiyauto

Do u have video for taking the rest of plastic off rear hatch to replace running lights?
You mean signal lights & running/brake light? Or licence plate light?
@@unclemarksdiyauto the running lights in the rear hatch,i figured out the plate light,the 3rd brake light i just was curious on how to replace the LED bulbs.
@@unclemarksdiyauto blinkers work,brake lights work,just running lights on hatch not working,wasn't sure how the housing for those came off the hatch
I don't have a video on this, not yet. I will add it to the list of videos to come.
Yeah you skipped how to slide it over the middle clip right behind the brake light… how do you slide it in while the screws are in their slots!?/?/!
Humm. Sorry.
@@unclemarksdiyauto it’s okay i forgive you. no one on RUclips explained it either It took me awhile.
@@cassinihuygens Thanks Brian. Not sure how I missed that step. It may be worth while you recording and posting it. Sorry and thanks again.
thats not for me be lots of pieces great job
Lost one nut. Fell in hatch. Can’t find it and don’t hear it rattling around. LOL!
@@unclemarksdiyauto yea i would lose both...hope you get out camping
