Just got a new Qashqai and putting back in the child seats.

Looking for the top Tether and can't work out how to access it??

From the boot there is a sign on the back of the seat and I can feel the anchor point underneath the sign but can't access it. There looks to be a patch over it do I just cut out that patch or is there another way to access it??

Jbag, welcome to the Forum ! Unfortunately I cannot help you as a I do not have a New QQ J12 😣. I would suggest if you get no assistance from members and the Manual is unclear is to ask your Dealer for Advice as this is a Safety Issue - better Safe than sorry I hope you get it sorted - Dave 😉

Welcome to this forum.

They're usually readily accessible across a range of different cars - perhaps you could post a photo?

I see what you mean...

Is the handbook silent on the matter? (I don't have a J12 one yet)

Jbag, as Gloucester has shown there appears to be a “Sticker” covering the Location point. Just as an example here are some not so good pics of other Nissan vehicles. Have you tried peeling this Sticker OFF / Cutting the Area (possibly not a good idea) or is it just better to ask your Dealer first - Dave 😏

So................... Having failed to find any pictures of the top tether in use I thought I'd look at videos - and didn't find any either!

However the top tether signs showed no change from the stills already seen - here's some:

Nissan-Qashqai-2022-toptetherA.jpg

Nissan-Qashqai-2022-toptetherB.jpg

Nissan-Qashqai-2022-toptetherC.jpg

I thought I might be getting somewhere with this one where there are faint vertical lines above those signs - a bit clearer in video than paused:

Nissan-Qashqai-2022-toptetherD.jpg

... suggesting the fabric might be cut?

Then I found this one with tethering points in the corners of the boot:

Nissan-Qashqai-2022-toptetherE.jpg

... so maybe those are just signs suggesting one uses these for car seat installation rather than ones in the traditional place on the seats?

Incidently I also found there's a power socket in the boot which I'd not seen before:

... and cross-checking on Nissan's website shows this is standard even on Visia trim!

Welcome to this forum. What car have you got?

This is the only topic discussing it. Has you asked the dealer?

When I was put everything back in the boot the other day, I noticed the cut-out/flap above the Top Tether picture. See below:
