Another Rattle Thread (sorry) - Boot area?

[Mteale1]

Hi, my first post. I was wondering if anyone resolved the rattling issue. I too have got my wife in the back trying to locate the rattle. It's been back at the dealers several times, but they just replace parts like the rear seat belt mechanism, boot strut, with no success.

I too have removed everything from the boot but it's still there.

It's my 3rd Qashqai and they've all had rattles of some variety over the years, usually fixed by a trip to the dealers.

I won't buy another Nissan as I'm at the dealers at least 3 times a year and I'm currently getting nowhere with a shuddering clutch after 6000 miles. They say if they take it apart and it's wear and tear I'll have to pay about £1000 for a replacement and labour.

Welcome to this forum.

Can't help I'm afraid.

I had a roof lining issue in the back that sounded a bit like a rattle. Have a passenger sit in the back and apply gentle upward pressure on the fuzzy roof lining in various places. My 'rattle' appeared above the rear left side passenger seat.

I do not know if they have a spare wheel well, if they do, this could be a place to check.
Is the clutch judder whilst changing gear?

This is caused by the tailgate. There are 2 adjustable rubber locators on both sides of the tailgate (inner edge). Pry out the inner section and pull out one or 2 clicks on both sides. Reinsert inner section to lock in place.

I also remember a YT video of Francesco Francy who had this rattle and found out that it was the jack that was positioned in the wrong way.
If you have one, it's a quick check.
