How to Install a Roof Rack on the New Qashqai?

The installation of a roof rack on the new Qashqai can be done in two ways: adhesive type and drilling type. The adhesive-type roof rack uses 3M adhesive for fixation, which is only suitable for aesthetic purposes and cannot truly function as a luggage rack. If you intend to use it, drilling installation is required. For drilling installation on the roof, it involves waterproofing and rust prevention work on the car body, so it is recommended to have it installed at a professional modification shop. The installation tutorial for the adhesive-type aluminum alloy roof rack is as follows: 1. First, clean the roof: Thoroughly clean the area around the roof rain gutter, preferably with a cloth soaked in alcohol. Be careful not to apply excessive force during the process to avoid damaging the car paint. 2. Assemble the roof rack: The purchased roof rack parts are usually packaged separately, so attach the black rubber ends to the aluminum alloy roof rack bars. Do not confuse the left and right sides, as both the rubber ends and the roof rack bars are marked with L (left) and R (right). Then, tighten the screws, with two small screws on each end. 3. Apply the 3M adhesive to the roof rack: Since the 3M adhesive is in the form of double-sided tape, first peel it off and stick it to the rubber ends of the roof rack. The front and rear rubber ends are of different sizes, and the corresponding 3M adhesive pieces also vary in size. Do not mix them up; compare the sizes before sticking. After sticking, press firmly to ensure it is flat. 4. Determine the installation position: Place the two roof rack bars on the roof, aligning them according to the L and R markings on each bar to the left and right sides of the roof, respectively. The end with the larger rubber piece should face the rear of the car, with the rear end about 5 cm away from the seam at the rear door of the roof. The side end should be about 1 cm away from the inner edge of the black rain gutter. Note that the roof rack is not installed on the rain gutter but about 1 cm inside it. 5. Final installation: After determining the position, place the roof rack on the roof and check from a distance if the position is appropriate. If not, make minor adjustments until the final position is confirmed, then mark it with a water-based pen. The most critical step is to have two people present during installation. One person holds one end, peels off the protective layer of the 3M adhesive on the roof rack, stands on the tire, and presses it onto the determined position. Then, apply firm pressure for about 20 seconds to complete the installation.

What to Do When the Clutch Pedal Doesn't Spring Back?

The clutch pedal not springing back is usually caused by insufficient lubrication in the clutch system's operating mechanism, or the clutch travel being too small, resulting in abnormal clutch return. If there is persistent abnormal noise after lubrication, it may indicate a transmission failure, which requires a thorough inspection and possible repair. If the problem cannot be resolved, replacing the entire clutch assembly may be necessary. Severe abnormal noise when pressing the clutch pedal could be due to a broken clutch pressure plate spring.

Do You Need to Replace the Battery When the Car Has No Power?

You don't need to replace the battery when the car has no power. Solutions for a dead car battery: 1. Use an emergency jump starter: Connect the battery clamps to the battery, attach the other end of the cables to the power source, press the power switch, and start the car to complete the process; 2. Ask a nearby car owner for a jump start: Bring the two cars as close together as possible, locate the batteries of both vehicles, uncover the electrode covers, and use the red battery cable clamp to attach to the positive electrode. Similarly, attach the red clamp first, then the black one. Once all four electrodes are connected, the jump start is complete. Methods to determine if the battery needs replacement: Car owners can observe the battery's condition themselves. There is an inspection hole on the battery called the 'eye,' located at the top right corner. By observing the color change in the eye, you can assess the battery's condition. If the color inside the eye is green, the battery is in good condition; if it's black, the battery's capacity is somewhat insufficient; if it turns white, the battery is nearly dead and needs to be replaced promptly.

How to Solve the Issue of Abnormal Noise When Accelerating with AC On but Not When Off?

Listen carefully near the glove box on the passenger side. If you hear a sound similar to flowing water, this is the expansion valve of the AC working, which is a normal phenomenon. Remove the glove box cover and take out the AC filter. Then, start the engine, turn on the AC, and set it to the maximum fan speed to blow out any foreign objects in the air ducts. Use a pressure gauge to check the pressure in the entire AC system. Abnormal pressure, whether too high or too low, can cause noise. Adjust it to the appropriate level. Inspect the electromagnetic clutch of the AC compressor to see if it is making proper contact or if there is any short circuit or open circuit. Replace the clutch if necessary.
