Volvo XC 40 Backup Camera Spacer Modification/Fix - More Field of View!
This video walks through the before and after installation of my Volvo XC40 Backup Camera Spacer modification. This is a 5-minute fix with no wires to disconnect and only 2 screws (Torx 25). Watch the video to see before and after pictures and details of how this modification expands both vertical and horizontal field of view when backing up. This modification does not alter the ability of the 360 Camera to work (if your model has that). This may work on other Volvo vehicles but has only been tested on XC40. If you have another model with a similar obstructed view, please reach out to me with a picture and I can see if I think it would work.
The piece is printed in TPU (same thing that many iPhone cases are made of) and has a similar texture of hard rubber. It will not rot, shrink or crack and should provide a similar seal as the original seal around the liftgate handle.
You can buy the spacer modification on Etsy from here: cronological.com/XC40

Skim-a-round Review - It won't stay down
Переглядів 6 тис.7 років тому
Trying the smaller ring in my pool as the larger ring wouldn't work. Still no dice on my fiberglass pool. If it's too good to be true, it probably is.
Hello, I have a 2021 xc40 with the mid-screen vision problem of Android apps. Does this device solve the problem?
Hi - I have a few V3 knobs I bought in May 2023, has a hole in the side and a screw goes in the top. I don’t see the video for that install any longer.
We no longer support that model, however, contact me via my store and I can get you a discounted replacement.
Got a full replacement… knob, knob cover and housing cover… install was easy, thanks Brian.. keeping the extra knob cover incase the tree rats start munching on it again… Dang squirrels basically ate the whole top off mine and a complete replacement would’ve been like $60-$70
They don't honor their warranty. The website states free replacement parts including shipping. The top of mine broke and I contacted them for a replacement part. They sent me an invoice for $15.99 for shipping which is more than the part and shipping cost - total ripoff. Its made of cheap plastic that will break easily.
I ordered the Skim A Round original really hoping it would work. It doesn't. If you have a variable speed pump you'll battle with it either tipping over or just not pulling the water into it. I installed the regulator to keep it from tipping over when the pump ran at high RPM's which makes it totally useless at lower RPM's. I removed the regulator and adjusted the flow from the drain and skimmer so it wouldn't tip over without the regulator, that worked but again the suction at low RPM's wouldn't hold the basket down which allowed leaves to pass by the basket. In the end you have 10 days to sort all this out; after 10 days NO REFUNDS or Exchanges. Beware.
WASTE of MONEY! I asked a simple question on FB about why it floats to the top and doesn't have enough weight to be effective, they blocked me from commenting on FB. SCAM!
Yep, they clear out all the bad comments and block folks on Facebook from replying with negative questions making you think that it's the best thing since sliced bread. Wrong.
I bought both this and the floating skimmer to attach to my robot's hose. Neither one one worked. I called about the skimmer and they told me it would not work with my pool and they would send me an RMA. They never did. Could not get the floating skimmer to work either after a few wasted hours and called them back to return that too. And guess what, by then it was past the 15 day return window. $200 went flying out the window... woooosh. I am so pissed I posted all over social media about these jerkoffs and their scam.
It won't work for me either, got no help from the company, we have a lip in ours, and they said to use a saw to cut it out, I think not. They said we can upgrade for ONLY $50 to the one that floats, no thanks. They were no help! It doesn't go all the way down and it is NOT universal like they claim.
My Skim-a-round took over two weeks to arrive. When it did arrive I placed it in the skimmer and it did NOT work as shown. I notified customer service to see if there was a way to improve preformance and received a call the next day. The woman was very rude and told me it has been too long to return this poorly working item. I have had it in my possession for less than a day. I ordered on May 3 and paid with paypal. I did not receive my item until MAY 18 and I am told That is my 15 day trial period. What a scam !! DO NOT BUY HERE !!!!
Randy Jenks that sucks. They did work with me to get me a new ring to try, but when that didn't work my 15 day period was over, so I had to ask support to allow the return - which they did. I did have to pay return shipping plus they took a restocking fee. I wish they'd keep negative comments on Facebook rather than deleting them so more people would know these things are not universal as they imply.
I was not as lucky as you. I had to file with the BBB and my credit card company to get a refund. I did find another product that worked great for my pool called SkimDoctor 2.0. It attaches to your current pool skimmer basket. It is a much better option and has worked well for me. Videos are on youtube for this product if you are still searching.
Randy Jenks look at skim doctor 2.0 which attaches to your current basket.
Did your credit card company refund you? That is the route I'm going now, since they deleted my comments.
PayPal refunded my money. Skim-a-round is a horrible company. They deleted my comments also.
I have the same issue, uggg
Can you put a weight in it or a rock
tippersteffi1 nope, tried that. Never got any suction.
Brian Wilson I just ordered one today, hope it works....have you talked to the company
Yeah, I got my refund, but had to pay a restocking fee and had to pay to send it back. It was over the return period, but since they had to send me another lip to try, they let me return it. Not sure if they'd be this generous for others.
yes--put a rock in it--then it works just fine. Drama queens
Ronald Pitzenberger lol it’s easier for people to complain and be negative, than find a solution and be positive. People that have no suction don’t think, like, is your skimmer line plugged? Maybe air getting into pump skimmer creating less suction, maybe o-rings bad? Lol I mean come on here!
My skimmer on my fiberglass pool is exactly like yours but the ring is too large and will not even fit the skimmer hole will not even go down.
Debbie M you have to open a ticket and they will send you a smaller ring. I waited and not even the smaller ring worked.
You need more pressure
Debbi DiFolco my existing basket works fine on this pressure.
