Hi all,

I recently picked up an old Mirror Dinghy and needed a towbar fitted to our Qashqai. I was tempted to get it fitted by someone else but I saw that I could save about half the cost of the boat by fitting it myself. (I need to get back in the good books with my wife as I bought the boat without telling her.... [Sometimes it's better to as forgiveness than permission... :lol: ])

I just finished fitting it and the total cost was £138, which is quite a saving compared to even the cheapest of the quotes I had received for someone else to fit a towbar.

I couldn't find a single English-language video about fitting a towbar to a J10 Qashqai when I was looking up how to do the job, so I made a video of every step while I fitted ours.

If anyone is considering a DIY towbar installation, you will hopefully find this video helpful:



Cheers,
Chris 👍
