Spigen Kuel TS36 Car Mount Spring Replacement
To ensure safe operation and address issues like phone slippage or wing failure with your Spigen Kuel TS36 Car Mount, this guide details the procedure for replacing the internal coils; using a compromised mount while driving presents a safety hazard, as it could detach and distract the driver, potentially risking harm to others.
To prevent potential spring ejection, depress the central button on the car mount to release any stored tension in the two springs prior to starting this repair process; Step 3 specifically highlights the risk of these components being propelled outward during the mount's opening, so proceed with caution.
Step 1 | Spring/coil
To detach the phone holder from the mount, apply firm pressure until it separates—the components are designed to withstand this force without damage.
To prevent these covers from detaching during the repair, set aside the two hemispherical cover pieces that secure the ball socket.

Step 3
Carefully extract any springs that remain lodged in their slots, ensuring the wing panel chassis isn't displaced during removal.
Step 4
Carefully position and slide the two replacement springs, each measuring 2.6 cm in length, into their designated slots in the same manner as inserting batteries into a television remote control.
Maintain secure positioning of the chassis throughout the procedure to prevent unintended movement.
