Got my replacement struts from ebay for 95 bucks and this video was sure a help. Keeps us away from stealerships and shady mechs

Thanks mate. I had a similar problem on my Murano and the Nissan dealer in Canada here said $2747 just for the parts, and $1000 for the installation. I ordered the replacement parts from Amazon for $250. It took 10 minutes to take the old ones out and about the same to replace them. It's amazing, the only tool I used was a screwdriver for the little clips and that's because I couldn't find a butter knife or a popsicle stick. 🎉

Great video. Easy instructions. Was able to follow instructions and install both trunk struts on my Nissan Rogue 2018. I ordered both struts from amazon for Canadian 250$. Could not have done without this video. Thank you for making this video. Few tips: Removing power cable was bit tricky but did it after rewatching video and following the tips and with use of two screw drivers. Pressed clip with one screw driver and pried up with another screw driver at the same time. Secondly, rather than using timber to prevent falling down of trunk, I placed an A-type ladder under the trunk so that it doesn’t fall when struts were removed.

Thank you very much for posting

Nice , I have same problem in my 2018 rouge

Thank you very much for this video. My X-Trail has exactly the same issue! I will now order a new pair of struts... How did you reset the opening position after replacing the struts? Did you close the tail gate manually the very first time after installing the struts and then opened it by remote and the ystem got its start and end position by itself? => Yes, I tested it. Just close the tail gate manually and the it works with the remote control. Today I replaced the struts and everything works fine! The only point which lead me not to reach the 30-min-target was disconnecting the electric plugs. So here'e an advice for anybody who is going to replace the struts as well: first stick in a small screwdriver in the plug in order to release the holding nose, like Richard described in the video. Then use a second bigger screwdriver: You'll find a small opening at the plug's side. Put the flat screwdriver in this opening and just turn it a little bit. The plug will disconnect easily.

Really helpful Richard ! Thank you Sir.

Thanks for the video. My 2015 had a squeaking noise coming from the ball joint. Removed the clip, released the strut, greased the ball joint and voila !!! no more noise.

Hi do you know if they will be the same part number for the 7 seater model as mine is an 18 plate thanks

Hi Richard, great video. Are you able to post the link for the struts?

Thanks for the info Richard. I had the same problem with my 2018 xtrail, and I'm 6'5", the number of times I've cracked my head on the boot. I spoke to Nissan and they quoted £350+VAT per side for replacement struts, and that doesn't include the fitting. I ordered from the same place as you, a slight customer service issue as one of the struts was broken on arrival but we sorted it in the end. It took me about 30 mins to replace both struts, the hardest part for me was to get my (big) hand in to get to the electrical connectors which were both attached to the body of the car. Being the size I am I didn't use wood to hold the boot open, I rested it on my shoulder. Overall a straightforward replacement, a little fiddly at times, but cost me £79 instead of £840 plus fitting, and if I hadn't have seen your video I may not have attempted it myself.

Hi sportcrazy4444, sorry I have not been able to reply to the email I received but for some reason I couldn’t. The link to the struts you sent is the correct one, they just appear to have come down in price.

Hi. Was it just a straight swap out with the old and in with new or do you have to calibrate anything after installing new ones?

Hi Richard, thanks for making this video. This seems to be a common problem on all the t32 x trail’s with the power tailgate. I’m also viewing the new power tailgate struts from the same website and also saw your review unless that was another Richard Wheeler. Have to do this as my tailgate is basically unusable at this time as they need replacing. They’re not cheap either £72 per strut at the moment on the website and that seems to be the cheapest option that I can find online at this time. Thanks again for the video.

How much its cost?

Dzięki tobie wymieniłem. Nie trzeba wykręcać tych śrub, wystarczy odgiąć plastiki i da się odczepić tą wtyczkę

👍🏻

How much was the struts please mate

Thx a mill man,💯

Hmmm. Does that thought cross your mind when you are hurtling down a runway at 180 knots on your way to Lanzarote with your family. Of course it doesn’t, same configuration but it must be safe because Boeing built that 737 😱😱😱

One wheel short of a picnic?

exellente, aplicare eso en mi taller me llego una con el mismo problema, y gracias a ti dare el diagnostico , cambio de ambos motores, ya que revise todo en cuanto a electronica y electricidad y esta bien , recalibre y nada , el problema es que abre hasta arriba bien y luego se caen solos hasta cerrar la puerta,

Having such a low centre of gravity the handling on corners is very good, however, I am not a fast driver. I find 60mph, almost 100kph a very acceptable speed to travel at.

Richard - what's the handling like on sharp bends at speed? 👍🏻

The boot contains the petrol tank and is otherwise open. It would be possible to instal an inner which would be about 3ft wide, 18"long and a foot deep.

how big is the boot?

This is very interesting, does it use a standard super seven type kit for panelsand chassis or all custom?
