Couldn't believe the Qashqai handle snapped off so easily and was starting to think of where to find a salvaged unit same colour or buying & spraying a new one when came across this kit from X8R on eBay. Obviously checked out alternatives but this kit really appealed as looked simple to install and came complete with Acetone for fixing. Other cheaper kits seemed to provide separate bolt locations which may have been hard to locate exactly and did not include the acetone. Instructions were easy to follow and although was initially concerned with getting correct location, the parts were actually very easy to place using the positioning cut-outs integral to the moulding and whole thing was so simple. Great job !!

Did the job refitting existing tailgate handle trim. Expensive for two small pieces of plastic and tiny bottle of acetone. Extra costs involved if you don't have all the tools /clamps/sandpaper etc. Labour involved quite a few man hours, not a simple task for every one.

This product is very well designed and made. The online tutorial was also easy to follow. The shape of the parts eliminates the margin for error in placement so alignment is perfect. This is the first time I have used a product from X8R but I won't hesitate to use their products in future. Thank you.

Poor Nissan design meant we needed a repair kit, this is Superb and easy to use, watch the video and anyone could do it. A word of caution though. I decide to us masking tape to protect the paintwork from splashes as recommended, the video also says to add a little extra acetone along the edges of the repair, it doesn't tell you to be careful of the acetone running along the inside and out through the number plate holes, unfortunately mine did and was trapped beneath the masking tape until I removed the tape. It took a small amount of paint off but my Wife was delighted with the repair. How would I get around it next time if there is one - use a small piece of Blutac to prevent any run off of acetone through the holes and keep the repair level while acetone is evaporating. It doesn't take long. Shame they don't do the full set for the inner brackets as well.Read full review

This is an excellent solution to the problem. After watching the X8R video on YouTube the installation was quick, straight forward and has given an excellent result. I am sure that these fixings will be much stronger than the original as two fixing points are connected to each other as well as being bonded to the handle itself. If you watch the installation videos you will see how easy it is to simply snap off the original fixing points with your fingers. The only aspect that takes time is the curing process which X8R recommend as 1 - 2 hours. After that the re-installation takes about 15 minutes. The big bonus of using this option over a new handle is that there is no painting required and the colour match is obviously exact. Very happy to recommend.
