Please be aware!
Note: if paint on rear of handle remove this first with sandpaper to allow Acetone to melt the plastic.
Note: make sure Acetone melts plastic before fitting the clips to the handle, IT IS NOT GLUE. The surface needs to start melting for the parts to fuse together.
The Problem
It is very common for the clips on the inside of the tailgate handle to snap.
The small plastic clips moulded on the inside of the tailgate handle snap causing the handle to become loose, making it difficult to open the boot.
This is a very common fault on these vehicles; these clips simply aren’t strong enough and will inevitably break.
The solution until now was to purchase a complete handle, not only is a new handle expensive, it would also need to be colour coded and ultimately would have the same flawed design which would only fail again.
Symptoms of the fault
Tailgate handle internal clips, snapped, damaged, broken. These snap or break off completely leaving the handle, loose or hanging.

Nissan Qashqai (2006 - 2013)
Nissan Qashqai +2 (2008 - 2013)

Install our replacement clips and reuse your existing handle, saving the cost / need to colour code a new handle which would only fail again.
Our unique clips are very easily fitted, no need for measuring (with potential for mistakes like other kits). Our parts aline to the handle perfectly, no measuring at all just pop in place. No adjustments needed.
