As a new owner of 2015 N-tec + I’m please to find such a large and knowledgeable forum. Has anyone found that their black plastic scuttle grill has a 1cm gap between the windscreen? I’m sure it can’t shrink that much in the snow and freezing temperatures we have this week. Also waiting to hear from main dealer if the wiper arm is supposed to be touching the bonnet.

Wipers are correct. To lift them you need to put them in park mode. Ignition on, flick wiper stalk upwards twice quickly and they will park in middle of windscreen. Press stalk once more to place wipers back in normal position.

Windscreen trim isn't right.

Hi guys I'm about to pick up a brand new Qashqai tekna + auto GUNMETAL GREY METALIC, I'm after advice about maybe fitting some running boards for easy access, tips on where to purchase these would be greatfully appreciated.
Also want to hear from owners whom have the same spec Qashqai about any helpful advice or tips regarding settings ECT.. will post picks when I've collected the car in the next few days. Can't wait !! Regards Wayne (Liverpool)

Wayne, welcome to the Forum just enter „RunningBoards“ & „Side Steps“ in the „Search“ Area and you will a lot of posts on this subject. These will be J11A or possibly J10 based comments but I would think there would be no design changes in the installation area on your J11B QQ, but check with the supplier. There are members that like and do not like Side Steps, they can be attractive, are not useable due to the width etc....but naturally the decision is yours, hope this helps - Dave :)

We tried a QQ with running boards and found they actually impede access and hurt our ankles. I also think the car looks sleeker without them. They make it look more boxy from the side.

thanks for the advice, looking into it further I'm going to give them a miss I think. Regards Wayne.
