How to repair the rear door of the Mercedes Vito/Viano W639.

Model: Mercedes Vito W639, MK 2 - Years 2003-2013
Part: Car door

In this video, we will see how to repair the rear hatch of the Mercedes Vito W639, which, not closing properly, generates the "door open" error on the dashboard. So, let's open the hatch and remove the bolts from the lock striker. The most likely issue is that it may have been misaligned, causing it not to close properly. We will remove the wedges from the hatch guides, which could be pushing it into the wrong position. We also need to adjust the vertical alignment of the hatch, and then, using a feeler gauge, we will check the gap between the rear hatch and the bumper, which should be approximately 7 mm. Finally, we will tighten the lock nut again to avoid rattling noises while driving.

How to change the time on a Toyota Yaris

In this video we see how to change the time on a Toyota Yaris, specifically when it comes to switching from daylight saving time to standard time and vice versa. We go to the multifunction screen and press "settings": from there we go to press the clock, simply click on daylight saving time, and the clock will change the time for us, without doing anything else. All we want to do is just adjust the time format to 12 or 24 hours, as is customary in the area where we live: for example in Anglo-Saxon countries it is common to set the time to 12 hours, while in the European Union it is normally set to 24 hours.
