Hey to all of you.
Have anyone of you check the hinges of his/her qq doors?
Here in Greece we found some cars with the -problem?- that you can see at the photos.
There is silicone between the hinge and the door and the color of the screws is scratched.
The problem is bigger in basic versions

I saw it in Slovenia on one car at dealer. Obviously doors disassembled and assembled again.

When the cars are built the whole body is assembled in the body shop then goes to paint, then the doors come off to be fitted out with windows handles and trim, and are reunited with the body further up the assembly line.

Never saw such damage out of serial production.

Also silicone there shows a repair not in the factory.

If this is out of factory they should loose licence from Nissan Quality management.

The photos that I upload aren’t from my car. They are from two cars of friends here in Greece. Also I see it in the test drive car and the one that it was in the showroom. My official importer here in Greece told us that all Nissan’s models for many years have the same issue. They come like this from the factory.
I noticed the same thing at this video on youtube (min: 37:00)

Ophidian, my explanation was on how the cars are built, it certainly wouldn't have left the factory like the picture, I cam only guess that that particular car had a damaged door and was taken off to be repaired and refitted, but by a third party.
