Nearly 3 weeks since my Dealer saw my 3 marked end caps; they took snaps, but heard no more since.E mailed em earlier this week to check progress-no response. One hopes they are looking at the spec for these- clearly needs reviewing, otherwisereplacements will fail in due course too.

Gel, I have spoken now to the Service Mgr. and they will enter a Guarantee claim into the Nissan System which is then suppose to start the action . The pics that were posted Here they have.
Just out of interest I read the other Forum Comments and it appears they have read our comments, but then we have been refered to as quote the "inferior QQ Forum" by ericos - nice !

Just had a look at my end caps. The rear offside, the one that I first noticed the marks on, has deterioted further. The front offside is exhibiting 'pin-pricks'. The two near-side end caps are ok.A thought. I wonder if this is related to sunshine/heat. My car is always parked in the same direction on my drive. The nearside, that which exhibits no deterioration, is against a 6ft high fence. The offside, which exhibits the problems is 'South Facing'. I do not use the vehicle much consequently it spends a lot of the time on the drive, consequentlythe offside faces a lot of sunshine.As I say, just a thought.Strange that this problem is being exhibited on vehicles of a similar age, in my case 10 months.

Went in today, first time he has seen this problem and in my dealers words "it looks like the paint has fractured". It was suggested this is the first he has seen this (but given the requirement to be standing in the right place with the right light....). Pictures taken and forwarded to Nissan. With it being a dull day this morning, I ended up using a LED workshop light to demonstrate the problem otherwise it could not be seen! He suggested that this could be a reoccurring problem if Nissan GB have not changed their process so if they are replaced then it could come back. I suspect they will be swapped

Steve, I had this same problem yesterday after Hand Washing the QQ. I had already posted and given pics to our Dealer, but yesterday after drying it off I noticed that every Rail had this fault in the Sun. So I thought I would take some pics when I got home - wrong I could not see them enough to photo them. I will speak to the Dealer next week again - Dave

Dave, why not try taking snaps anyway, and you may see the results you need when blown up in size.
