Nissan Qashqai - Video tutorial

Model: Nissan Qashqai J10 - Years 2006-2014
Part: Roof Rack Bars
Operation: How to mount the roof bars of the Qashqai

How are the roof racks mounted on the roof of the Qashqai? Let's see the assembly. We assemble the bar holder kit (as in the video) with the bars calibrated according to the width of the car. We rest the brackets at the two ends of the doors and once the width of the anchoring brackets above the bodywork has been adjusted (handrails), we tighten the pins with the pin until they are fully anchored (we align the bars to the roof of the car). We mount the original bars by removing the plastic covers on the two sides of the roof. At the end of the assembly we test the correct rigidity of the bars (before loading heavy objects).

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
