Nice!!! My C6 convertible has done this ever since I can remember. I've always just reached back and pulled on the window a little bit, but finally I know what to do to fix it. Thanks for the great vid!

“If they bought one and just kept the batteries…. More power to em.”

Thankyou for the valuable information

My small 400 watt inverter sounds like a better way to go with buying 3 or 4 of them.

Just bought my C6 and I noticed this issue. I will performing this fix! Thanks for the video. Extremely helpfull!!

My 2013 ZR1 has had a vibration since I've owned it (bought 6 years ago with 10k miles). After repairing bent wheels, replacing one, and road force balancing and match mounting the tires, the vibration was still there. It was a harmonic vibration that started around 50mph. I analyzed it with a oscilloscope and determined it was indeed a 1st order tire vibration. Since I had already ruled out the wheels & tires, rotors were my next target. I just mounted new tires today and decided to balance the rotors with the wheels as shown in this video. I spun one wheel up without the rotor attached and then again with the rotor attached. I subtracted the difference and determined that the rotor was 0.25oz off on inside plane and 0.75 oz off on outside plane, which is significantly out of balance for a rotor. I only did the fronts at this time but I will say it is a 90% improvement. I plan to do the same to the rear rotors some time soon.

Wait so without the batteries 🔋 on the side its basically useless?

Why does this video look like it was filmed in 2006?

You look a lot like the late Don Adams. Are you related?

07 I don’t have this problem but one of the strings that hold the cloth in place broke 🤷🏻‍♂️anyone know how to fix that

I thought that the dealer just tell ladies anything. I am having the same issue and was told the exact same thing. Thanks for your helpful information on this issue.

Great video!

Andrew thank you for making this video. I was looking at getting this or a ecoflow I just need about an hour of charge time for the Ego Z6. Think I would be better off getting this since I already have so many batteries.

Can you swap batteries as you charge?

Any reason you couldn't double the strap back on itself and use a slightly longer screw/bolt to reattach?

my 427 - 60 th ANNIVERSARY just purchased - does the same ALSO , I use a long fine artist paint brush dipped in oil to lubricate all hinge/metal contact points

I’ve done a lot of it experiments with the ego Nexxus power station. So I love your content! Feel free to check out mine as well, but you have earned a subscriber.

Whatchu wearing scrubs for? If you're a doctor or nurse you shoulda named this channel The Car doctor/nurse.

I am just wondering how you got a convertible Z06?

Dude that pannel really isn't that hard to remove LOL

Nice...thanks

I followed your instructions and they worked well. The most difficulty I had was replacing the screws on the bottom of the glove box. Good job! Thank you.

Looks like we have the same model x's. 2016 early P90DL . So thx for letting look behind the curtain on what it took and looks like. Seems with you having a model 3 that you could offer a few more videos in that your so good at it.

Andrew, just found your videos. I have many Ego garden tools and 7 batteries. So I got the small plug-in inverters for charging cell phones if we loose grid power. The few times I needed them for that it was a good thing to have. So wanted to get more use out of the rest of the EGO batteries and went with the power station. I totally agree with your video on that topic. My expectations are low and this unit fills that. I have on 12ah ego battery and will add one every now and then till I have 4 12ah batteries to get the most run time out of Nexest. Hot swapping during a power outage will give a bit more time with my extra batteries. I had just started to consider it on a backup to the Tesla. Your video answered that and Yes was good enough. So if I had a 1/2 gal gas can for my truck I can see that gas is a better backup for emergencies, but that's not my plan so again I am good. Clearly a gas gen backup would be a better solution, but having the electric generator should be fine in if we loose power at home it would most likely be for an hour and these batteries will make life more normal during that event. Not a real solution if outage lasts longer, but we have other resources if that happens. You do such a good job making videos I am surprised you have not made more. Clearly you have much you can share I would just want to encourage you to not give up yet. Your channel has been getting action that should help your new videos to get better exposure. Good luck and thanks for helping me with understanding my new Ego Nexest. Just 3 more 12ah's to go for me. ;)

It can not be used while you are charging It I would not buy this item !

*always fold the lock handle back in place before stowing top in the down position* there is usually enough room but they have been known to get squashed and broken by the closing cover

Are you an aircraft mechanic?

The whole thing about cutting off power at 20% to save battery isn't accurate. I'm assuming the rep you spoke to was just reading off of some script that his supervisor threw together one day while bored, but the real reason is due to loss of energy during inversion. So while it's correct that you only get around 80% usable energy, this isn't an Ego specific issue, it's just an unfortunate side effect of physics. Every battery powered DC to AC inverter will have approximately 80% efficiency. Even DC to DC converters experience this in varying degrees depending on the conversion.

I was hoping this would be a solution for my vehicle fridge but unfortunately seeming like not the solution for me

Good info I will send it to the person that I sold my 2007 to. I had that issue but never knew a fix for it.

Beautiful

Thank you, nice job. Don’t forget to put the handle back in place before the top is opened all the way. I understand that handle can get broken by the tunnel cover coming down on it

I know this is such an old video but very informative, unfortunately this did not work for a customers vette I have in the shop for this same issue. Any other tips?

Can you come up with an adjective other than "trick". 2002 called, they want their adjective back.

Great video, yours is the first video I've seen that shows pretty easily where to find those damn straps for the rear bow. The focus difficulty was not a problem, the video showed exactly what was needed! Thanks.

It is sad that people are suprised the wattage output has nothing to do with the watt hour of batteries you are getting. I guess this is why Jackery has decided to make those numbers match so the Jackery 1000 is 1000 watt output with a 1002 watt hour battery.

so is there on the market any carbon ceramic rotors replacements that cant need later balancing ?

It's something I would buy if I used EGO powertools on regular base and had lots of batteries, otherwise, just get a gas powered generator. Any way, EGO must make a V2 with passthrough ability.

Thanks for the video, by any chance do you know the part number for the 7mm bolt/screw used to fasten the strap? My 2010 GS has an original bolt on one side and some other 1/4" chrome plated self tapping screw on the other. Many thanks!

I have $ 1200 in batteries for the EGO and $1200 for the RYOBI inverters just think the way THINGS are going TODAY with all going On

I just got a C6 yesterday, thank goodness these don't evaporate, really appreciate your help even if I'm 10 years late!!!

I have one and I wish I would've waited. Still no pass thru charging and the market is now flooded with Solar battery chargers.

Thanks so much for the honest review,

Thanks for a sincere review!!!

Candid opinion !!!!! Thank-you highly appreciated !!!!! Good man

One thing to be aware of with the EGO Nexus Power Station is that the Android app only works properly with Android 8.1 - 10 right now. With Android 11, bluetooth will work, but wifi doesn't. With Android 12, neither bluetooth or wifi will work. I have reported this to Ego after trying to get them to fix this for 3 months. I finally found an old Galaxy Tab S3 (Android 9) and was able to get it to connect to both bluetooth and wifi.

I just reach back and grab the top when it’s going up or down, literally takes zero effort…I live in Florida so the top is hardly ever up.

In a power outage the microwave and the AC along with the toaster or toaster oven would not be used. TV , pc's, phones and fridge are the most important and you don't need the fridge on all day. you can do 4 hours on and 4 hours off and use common sense. For the price of this unit you can buy a great 6500 watt generator, buy 3 5 gallon gas cans and fill them up and have 300 bucks left over and you are good for 4 or 5 days

Excellent review on this - thanks! I’m moving soon and will be picking an EGO riding mower that comes with EGO batteries. Seems like a no brained to get the bare nexus that is now available. Thanks!

Umm, I see your top is puckered in now around the window when closed, so maybe you went a little to far with the adjustment. I'm also thinking that maybe sliding a thick strap adjuster on would take up enough slack just by going over and under a couple times to make enough difference.
