How to Install Front and Rear Skid Plates on a Nissan Qashqai J11

Model: Nissan Qashqai J11 - Years 2014-2022
Part: Body

What are skid plates? They are underbody protections made of steel or aluminium that mount under the engine and the rear differential. They protect vital components of the car from impacts with stones, curbs, etc. You can find the front and rear kit on Amazon with code B095LN6FVY for £128.00, with free delivery. For installation, clean the surfaces well, then for the front part, centre the plate, mark the points to drill the bumper (usually 4 to 6 holes), and drill with utmost caution. Secure with bolts and nuts using reinforcement washers. For the rear part, support the plate with temporary supports, then align the plate with the existing holes (use the original holes of the brackets) and drill only where necessary. Apply silicone in critical points to seal and prevent vibrations, then secure with bolts.
