Nissan Qashqai - Video tutorial

Model: Nissan Qashqai J11 - Years 2014-2022
Part: Bodywork
Operation: How to install adhesive pillar trims on the Nissan Qashqai

For lovers of black-gloss finishes, we have this video that shows us how to transform the window pillars - which are matte black, and which often discolour on the Nissan Qashqai - into splendid glossy decorations: we can find this accessory on AliExpress at code 1005001695217370 for a price of 10.42 euros for the kit of 8 pieces cut to size. As our youtuber recommends, cut off the excess adhesive or it will fill up with dirt and dust after a few days. For smaller pieces you may need to do a little handcrafted trimming. But the end result is really worth it.

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.
