The Nissan Qashqai is one of the most popular cars in Ireland and is a regular visitor to independent workshops. 

A problem that can be encountered by owners is that the interior door handle can become faulty and this means that it is not possible to open the door from the inside. When this happens the handle needs to be replaced. Parts specialist, Blue Print, can offer a more economical, high quality alternative when it comes to replacement. 

The interior door handle opens the door by multiplying the applied force used by means of a cable to operate the door lock assembly. Where the door lock cable attaches to the interior door handle, it is prone to weaken over time, after many operations. When the door handle eventually breaks, the door is unable to be opened from the inside of the vehicle. The handle will break sooner if there is any wear in the door lock assembly; this wear is caused by the constant opening and closing of the door and accumulation of road debris and dust in the door lock.

Before replacing a broken interior door handle, Blue Print recommends checking the operation of the door lock and cable for wear and performance.

The replacement door handle is Blue Print part ADBP970008, Inner Door Handle for Nissan Qashqai. It is available from Blue Print stockist nationwide.
