Under door handle protection


Ive just noticed this but i have small scuff marks on the paintwork under the door handles.
I cant remember if this happoned in my T30, has anyone else got this?

I wonder if a protective film could be put there?

Not sure how it happoned as its on every door in pretty much the same volume..

Re: Under door handle protection


It's the same thing on my wife's Tiida as the door handle design is the same as the T31. I found chrome inserts for the Tiida to cover these scratches that slot behind the door handle itself. I reckon the paint work is getting scratched by the fingernails of those opening the doors and Nissan have not put any paint protection there at all. Cutting a clear protective film and slotting it in there is also a good idea, but I reckon the chrome inserts to match the chrome door handles (on some of the T31s) will look much better.

Re: Under door handle protection


When i wash the car i give it a bit of a rub down with Tar & Bug Remover. Obviously it only it doesn't permantly get rid of or cover the scratches but hides them for the next 1 or 2 car washes.

G'day Dronus
I've got them on mine as well, definetly caused by fingernails, especially with the kids.
A bit of polish will remove them easily.

Where can we get hold of these? I haven't seen anything around, but then again, I'm not the X-Trail maestro, eh? emoticon

Hi Stephen,

I haven't found them or the chrome door handles for the T31 yet, but am looking and they're on my list emoticon

I got some spare ones from the Tiida which I will try on a T31 during the Yengo trip, as the door handles of the Tiida look very much the same as the T31. Let's hope they fit.

Whoops i forgot to monitor this thread :-0

The inserts look cool, it would be very interesting to see if they do fit the T31, and if they are available. Glad to hear its not just me emoticon Thanks for all the replies emoticon
