In this video, we will see how to fit universal roof bars on a Nissan Qashqai J11: you can find a type (different from the one shown by the American YouTuber) on eBay with code 167410350371 for £119.90, with free delivery. You will also need an Allen key, a screwdriver, and gloves.

Clean the roof rail with a cloth to remove dirt and debris, loosen the side screws of the bars (usually two per side) to secure the fixing mechanism. Insert the bar into the rail and adjust the width by loosening the locks.

Centre the bar relative to the roof (use a tape measure to check symmetry). Tighten the screws by hand before using the spanner, then use the spanner to secure the anti-theft locks; check that the bar is secure and does not wobble, and after a few miles of driving, check the condition of the screws.

Be careful with the installation: there is one bar for the front and one for the rear; remember that the bars increase fuel consumption and noise on the motorway.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
