68k miles and the car seems sound enough, usual wear and tear etc.

Anyway some Q's:

1. The window lock button doesnt work. The dealer had another qashqai and said I could swap the whole switch unit but when we checked it, that lock button didnt work either. Easy fix or new unit required?

2. Parcel shelf nubs are missing from inside the car so the shelf just bounces. Easy to replace/fix?

3. The central roof light is a little loose on one side so the kids can easily pull it out. Havent figured out how to fix this!! Any thoughts?

Thanks!

So yeah, the window lock not working is a pain cos my boy needs to be in a big baby seat beside the window and he plays with the switch while driving. We tried disconnecting the switch but that means the driver cant control the rear window as it must be a closed electrical circuit. What I have done is to keep the switch connected but drop it out of the housing and down into the door. I duck taped up the hole on the housing and clipped back in. Problem solved! The boy cant play with the window but the driver can still operate it. See pics :)
