⚠️ LOW INVENTORY ALERT ⚠️
We have limited inventory of spars at this time. To help us manage inventory and support as many SHIFTPOD owners as possible, we are creating replacement-part orders manually rather than listing all parts for direct purchase online.

Please order only the parts needed for active repairs. If only the ferrule ball is damaged, we recommend replacing the ferrule rather than the entire spar.

Note that all replacement spars have now transitioned to the new SHIFTPODX line and will be grey rather than black. This difference is purely cosmetic. The new spars are fully compatible with your SHIFTPODIII and will fit and function exactly the same as the original black spars.

Please email questions@shiftpod.com with the following information:
-Your SHIFTPOD model
-The type and quantity of each spar needed: upper wall, lower wall, or roof
-Any additional parts needed, such as ferrules or hubs
-Your current shipping address

If you’re unsure which parts you need, send us a few photos of your SHIFTPOD and the damaged area, and our team will be happy to help identify the correct parts.

Thank you for your understanding and for helping us keep more SHIFTPODs up and running this season!

Repair Instructions

Replacing a Spar with SHIFTPOD Collapsed

1. Locate the Damaged Spar
With your SHIFTPOD fully collapsed (in the umbrella position), identify the broken or damaged spar.

2. Access the Hub
Unscrew the hub cover (the black, puck-shaped piece) where the damaged spar connects.

•Note: Some models include a retention ring beneath the hub cover—remove this if present.

3. Remove the Broken Spar
Carefully remove any broken spar pieces from the hub socket and the fabric corner pocket. If the spar broke near the ferrule, gently dislodge any stuck ferrule pieces from inside the hub.

⚠️ Wear gloves and handle with care—broken carbon fiber may have sharp or splintered edges.

4. Install the New Spar
Insert the spar cap end into the fabric corner pocket. Then, pop the ferrule end into the corresponding socket in the hub. Ensure both ends are fully seated and secure.

5. Reassemble the Hub
If your model has a retention ring, reinstall it. Then, screw the hub cover back on tightly.

6. Test the Repair
Fully pop up your SHIFTPOD and confirm the structure is stable.
