Hi, Looking for some advice my 62 plate Ntec rear tailgate/boot handle has snapped off for no obvious reason. The two brittle plastic clips holding the unit on are the only part broken so been driving with this tapped on.

Just back from Nissan dealer not where I bought the car and the Manager could not have been more help and will replace the broken tailgate plinth next week free of charge. My first quote from another Nissan dealer who was most unsymaptetic was £250 so folks always get a second opinion and a big thanks to Nissan Balmore Glasgow, I'll be back!

Just happened to me too on a 2011model, don't know the outcome yet. Very poor design and fixing, would have expected better from Nissan (do they follow these posts, if not they should)

Hi, I joined 'qashqaforums' many years ago, believe this is my 1st post and thought I'd add a comment after sorting out my tailgate problem while having a cuppa & giving the repair time to set . I know I'm commenting on old posts but others with the same problem may look in. I bought my 'fix' for under £20 from x8r.co.uk, tel 01843 446643, and I cannot fault the service I rec'd from them. It also has a very comprehensive video showing the removal instructions.
