Perhaps it was I who found this welding point that makes a disgusting sound. I will definitely wait a month and publish the solution.

Try, but I think the whole chassis is weak for torsion movement or bumpy roads. Then it starts to generate this tapping noises. It also can be that welding robot didn’t make strong enough welding points... who knows...

i am curious to what you found.. In mine, after doing the fix, and after one year of silence, it started doing it again... i will have to find time to remove the lining and check again

The same with me. It started to do it after off-road drive on bad terrain. It is however very seldom.

Hello

I am a owner of a 2015 Qashqai and I have the same noise as you.
It is a metallic noise (like a clack) that comes from the back, in my opinion.
The dealer spread the sheets at the top of the trunk under the joint. The noise had disappeared and it reappeared. The dealer again spread the sheets along the entire length but the noise is still there.
Would anyone have found the solution for this problem?
Sincerely
Nileve

Hallo dan59,

I am new to this forum.
I came here because i have exactly the same problem with my wife s 2017 Quashqai 1.2 with Panorama roof.
The car has now 21000 km. The tapping noiese started at around 15000 km.
My dealer made exactly the same procedure with the car as your dealer did. But it didn t help.
Maybe the first 300 m after starting the car there is no noise but after some km it starts again.
I bought the stuff mentioned by nomader and duncho and applied it the same way like shown on page 5 of this thread.

It didn t stop the tapping.

Hi !
I don’t try the solution of Duncho and Nomader because they said the noise come back after one year of silence.
But I wait for the solution of TexHolog ...

The problem is weak welding points of the chassis. More you drive off road or on bumpy roads, higher probability that some the points start to make ticking noise. The noise in my or nomander’s case isn’t coming from the treated area. I can clearly hear it’s coming from right hand side which I didn’t touch before.
It is poor body build job, I have never had a car making noise on chassis itself, more less some squeezing plastics. Complain to Nissan....

Do you think going to an independent body shop that doesn't work for Nissan would be a good idea?
Would he be able to catch up on these bad welding spots?

There is no possibility to fix the reason, but the problem. So you can only remedy poor quality job by applying the fix mentioned in this thread.
