In this video we see how to easily install hood struts for the Nissan Qashqai J11: we can find this accessory on AliExpress with code 1005003949584449 at a price of 31.96 euros, free delivery and available in various colors. This allows us to no longer use the annoying rod when we open the hood.

The first thing to do is to install the mounting bracket and the two nuts are of different sizes because the larger one goes into the hood and the smaller one into the fender. To insert the round head of the bolt into its housing, we must first remove the retaining pin: it is advisable to remove it from the rod to work better and then reinsert it, and perform a further light lubrication.

We insert the smaller round head bolt into the fender and then insert the strut onto the two positioned bolts. We check the operation of the first one and then install the second one and now enjoy the result.
