This video is a step by step detailed diy of me repairing my Nissan Qashqai tailgate boot lid handle which has broken, I am using a repair kit designed my a company called X8R this is a very common fault with the Nissan Qashqai mark1 and mark2 models the plastic hooks that hold the tailgate in place become weak and brittle over time and snap off leaving the owner to with an expensive repair bill and often they just use some kind of duck tape to hold it in place for the meantime, and this has become a very common sight on these Qashqai’s. This repair kit comes with the replacement plastic tabs that perfectly slot into place replacing the old broken ones and is a fairly simple and a very cost effective alternative to buying a new one and it is very affective and seems to be very durable. I hope it is of some help to anyone wishing to repair their own Qashqai thank you for watching please like share and subscribe. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Azz - thanks to this video I have now completed this repair. I am a long way from being a DIYer or Mechanic. So a hearty thanks, I would not have succeeded without it.
However.......for other viewers there are two important points to make about the replacement kits:
1) Originally the handle is held by five bolts and one stud. Six connection points in total, The kit replaces the two at either end, thus four in total, and not the two in the middle. All six of mine had broken. Advice - if one side starts to fail fix it straight away, don't leave it for the middle two connections to snap. My repair is not quite the perfect snugness in the middle as a result.
2) Azz's video shows two bulb connections and one grey electrical connection. In the Techna version of the Qashquai there is a second grey electrical connection and crucially this is held in place by one of the four brackets ultimately replaced. The replacement brackets are not designed for this version. I have had to tape this connection point up inside the handle. Doable, but fiddly and certainly not ideal.
Just on the process I add the following from experience for those ready to proceed:
a) the trim removal. Those two studs right at the beginning. I tried and tried to prize them off. On closer inspection there is an inner disc of approx. 8mm and an outer disc of say 15mm. Just prize up the inner bit and its easy. Don't try to prize the larger disc off like I did! Thankfully I failed and paused.
b) the trim removal. On the side the large lower trim panel joints a smaller upper panel. Time to be gentle when prizing apart. I snapped a few shards of plastic off so the joint is no longer flush now replaced
c) the six bolts. They seem longer than they need to be. My simple socket set doesn't have a longer10mm extension so I couldn't fit the head over the bolt thus resorting to an adjustable spanner to loosen first. Borrow a good socket set if you can, it will made an awkward job very simple.
d) Don't do this in the rain. May sound simple but I didn't think. I took off one day, let the brackets dry over night, came back to the car after the previous nights rain and the bulbs had water in them. Its obvious but when the handle is off the bulbs and electrics are exposed.
great point Simon! you were able to lock the boot door as usual while the tailgate was aside with the acetone right?
@@carlosmontesparra8548 yes carlos, locking the car was fine without the piece on for a night.
Thanks, I didn't know what key to buy to unscrew the screws 👊🙂👍
Thanks Azz, absolutely clear functional video, followed your instructions to the letter and bingo, extremely pleased with result. You’re a diamond, mate, so glad there are blokes like you out there!
Same here, can't thank you enough. Very straight forward and easy to follow. I bought the kit off the link too. I've reviewed it in eBay and gave a shout out to you and this video.
Thanks Azz, excellent video with all the details you need for a job like this. No throwaway lines like' remove the trim inside the boot' - everything explained and demonstrated. At ~20mins it is long but worth the watch - probably saved me hours and helped produce a better job.
Another happy customer. Cheers, that was straightforward. Left it clamped for 2 hours and it's really solid. Fixed for under £20!
I've just followed this step for step to replace mine. Thank you for such a great video!
Having watched this video I decided to purchase a kit and have a go at fitting it myself. I am always sceptical about CZcams videos because they always seem to make things easier than they really are but in this case not. I fitted the repair kit without any problem. The instructions were spot on so thanks for posting this video.
Thank you
I bought the part and followed your video and got a great result, so pleased with it and for less than £20
Your video was clear and easy to follow, thank you
My mechanic just quoted me $600 to fix and paint this!!
Thank you big time for this
Perfect video thank you, took around 40 mins with all the fiddly bits but this was a huge help.
Was wondering how to tackle the same problem with my qashqai, came across your video. What a great help and a cost cutting repair. I am now sending off for the same kit. Thankyou so much for this video.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. Following your instructions, I was able to easily change my tailgate handle today :)
Thank you Azz, great video, very detailed, clear & simple to follow with the step by step instructions. Agree with other comments that others should take your lead when creating video tutorials 👌🏽
Thanks for that mate. One of the most detailed “ how to “ videos ive seen. Top bloke
Excellent tutorial, thanks. Nissan were going to replace the entire boot handle and charge me around $500, so that saved me a heaps of money and was pretty easy to do myself.
Thanks Azz, just broke mine & after watching this have just ordered. Thanks
Thanks a lot for making this. Just fixed mine following what you did in this video. Appreciate it bud.
This happened to me this morning. I was looking at this kit on ebay, thanks for the step by step guide, I think I'll be getting one of these to DIY.
Brilliant tutorial, I have just done my one and it absolutely worked following this video. Thank you so much.
Nice instructional video, thank you. I was pulling my hair out trying to fix mine, but I've bought the same kit now 😁
Thanks for the film, it really helped me alot. Especially the part were you dissasembled the back plastic interiour.
Brilliantly done, so easy to follow!
10/10
Thanks for this mate, having a go at this at the weekend. Already bought the whole tailgate but this is a big help in how to pop the trim from the boot door.
Just so clear and concise. Thank you so much.
After watching your video i bought the kit , it came a few days later and I've just fitted the kit while referring to your video , thank you again for uploading this , its saved us at least 250 pounds which was a quote i was given over a year ago .
Paul Perfect I’m glad you’ve got it sorted mate
Azz, really appreciate you taking the time to do and share this - very clear and to the point. After watching I ordered parts (£20), got socket set (£15). Took my time doing and also know now how to sort back lights. It's probably stronger than it was before it broke. Garage was suggesting a couple of hundred quid to sort amid other things. Thanks. G
Thanks pal, just got mine a few weeks ago and already had this problem. Great video - very helpful
Thank you for the video. Used it to carry out the same repair and to safely remove the vanity cover on the rear hatch.
Fantastic video. Very clear instructions. Just repaired mine. Thank you. 👍
Man, this video has been a godsend. Thank you.
Thanks for the Vid mate, Just done this myself so was useful to watch it being done first.
Nice one Azz. Clear tutorial. Well worth getting the kit. I’m pretty useless when it comes to diy but your video made it much easier. Cheers👍🏻
Cheers for the vid mate, this helped me fix my Qashqai, and I like your simple honest delivery style! :-)
Great video, I’ve got to do this as the handle has just gone on mine. Such a great insight knowing where to start. Thanks 👍
Thank you for this, I bought the same kit and has worked a treat 🎉
Thanks mate, happend to me two days ago.
Pain in the arse, but cheers for putting up this video, I'll order the kit today.
Very easy to follow video, managed to fix my boot tail handle following this guide video 👍👍👍
Excellent video bruva. Detailed and easy to follow
Thanx dude went for it because of you're video and now waiting for it to dry. Fingers crossed.
Well done mate and cheers for a great video. The official one is good, but great to see it done in 'real life' so to speak. Just finished mine after watching this. Nice one 👍
you have just saved me a ton of money cheers bud im now about to order my part clips 🇬🇧🙂
i first ordered a complete new tailgate, not knowing it was being sanded at some points.. so i needed to bring the tailgate to the painter and let it paint, but then i saw this vid, man this has saved me a lot of bucks right there. Good tutorial, all details are in there! thanks a lot! #subbed
Ordered the whole handle from China for 20 something euros, remains to be seen how well it will hold. I haven't installed it yet but this video looks like a life saver =)
. A great help, followed you step by step and worked perfectly. Appreciated, thank you.
Thanks very much for this great video- saved me a small fortune
Very well detailed video. Excellent job. Thank you.
Thank you for your video. I have just done my repair following your instructions successfully. Big thumbs up Azz
Thanks so much for this video. Was a huge help!
price is now £24.99 but worth every penny Clear and concise video. Thank you Azz Pleased with the result
Just had my 3rd break on this.
First one was covered but had to pay for the 2nd one. Hope I just saved me some money with this good vid.
Thanks from Sweden 👍
Thank you for this video! As mentioned below, the official video is good but yours is fab and REAL! My local Nissan dealer wanted £250! You have saved me a mint!
orchidstream glad the video helped.
@@azzkam8972 I want to thank you, too. I just fixed this part in my car at €20 which saved me some EUR300-500. Many videos promise money or saving money, but your's actually did. The best youtube video I've seen!
Thank you, great video and enabled me to fix mine. Mine (even though it was the same year as yours) didn't have the first 2 10mm bolts near the locking mechanism but all other steps were identical.
Brilliant tutorial, really easy to follow, thanks !
Thank you for making very detailed video!
The best tip in this video is sanding of the paint on the Back,
I bet many of the bad reviews on Amazon was down to not sanding, and not applying the aceton with a brush.
I see many comments about saving 250£, in Norway, including the paintjob, it would easely be 425-450£.
Azz thanks for the video, now have the confidence to carry out this task. Thanks again
Brilliant video. Thanks mate you're a star. Saved me a load of cost. Quite easy to do. Cheers😉👍
Great vid, professional presenter, thank you
cracking little video this mate, gonna do this on my Mrs's car at weekend and this video is even better than the X8R one. thank you.
Really useful video mate, thanks.
Thank you Azz - very helpful. They are a silly design and bound to break sooner or later, as mine did recently.
Nice one Azz, great help. takes a bit of confidence to pull the trim off! thanks
Nice Video explains a lot easy to Follow
Recently bought a QQ Tekna, handle came off when salesman opened tailgate, taped it up and reordered a new handle which had to be sprayed black. so i found this kit on line as temporary fix, got the new handle after 3 weeks, but left repaired one on it's going no where.
Easy to fit no repaint needed and solid as a rock.😊😊😊😊
Azz Great video, I am now going to order the repair kit and attempt to follow your extremely clear and informative method.
Well done and many thanks.
