Hello fellow Nissan enthusiasts, I have a 2019 Nissan Qashqai/ Rouge Sport which has a creak on the door card, specifically the armrest section... Has anybody heard of this issue on their Nissans and what should I do?



Problem area circled here, also isn't my door panel...

My J11 N connecta and my J11b Tekna both did this.
More so on the J11b as the arm rest is apparently leather.

I fixed mine with a thin liquid wax solution poured along the joint and massaged the creaking area until it stopped - then cleaned off the excess.

Dont be tempted to use a silicone spray as this will make it worse.

I found that the cause of this noise was driving position and style - IE - resting your elbow there all the time , or adjusting you position in the seat.

To alleviate a similar squeak I replaced all of the white plastic rivets/scrivets that hold the door card, I purchased them off EBay, and I got the ones that had a neoprene disk to stop rattles and squeaks. I also put sticky back felt all around the outer edge of the door cards, doesn't take long to replace the rivets and apply the felt to all four cards and well worth the effort.
All four door cards on the car now squeak/rattle free 👍

These are similar to what I have used.
Both purchased off EBay.
Hope that this may be of help.

Welcome to this forum.

I hope the above gives you some pointers to fix this.

This thread may also be of help if you suffer any other creaks/rattles.

If you do decide to remove the door card drop me a PM and I will help guide you through it, if you don't already have a set I would recommended purchasing a cheap (around £5-£10) set of plastic panel removing tools, lots and lots available on EBay, lot easier and safer to use than a flat screwdriver.
