Revered across the UK for its perfect blend of practicality, style, and cutting-edge technology, the Qashqai stands as a testament to Nissan’s dedication to automotive excellence.
Our Windscreen Replacement Service
When it comes to a Nissan Qashqai’s windscreen, it’s important to understand the factors involved in either repairing or replacing it. Let’s dive right into it and examine what choices you have.
Windscreen repairs can often be done quickly and relatively cheaply, depending on the severity of the damage. However, if the windscreen is beyond repair, it will need to be replaced.
We can do this quickly and efficiently, but it’s important to keep in mind that the cost of replacement will be significantly higher than a simple repair.
In either case, the decision of whether to repair or replace a windscreen should be based on the severity of the damage. If the damage is minor and the windscreen can be safely repaired, it’s usually the most cost-effective option.
On the other hand, if the damage is extensive and it’s not safe to repair, then replacement is the only viable option.
NEW NISSAN QASHQAI WINDSCREEN
What makes the Nissan Qashqai so special?
The Qashqai is a sleek and sporty compact crossover (mainly due to its new ‘V-Motion’ grille).
It has been on the market since 2006, initially as the Nissan Dualis in Australia and Japan, the Nissan Rogue Sport in the U.S. and the Qashqai elsewhere.
The name ‘Qashqai’ refers to the Qashqai people living in Iran’s remote central and southwestern mountains.
The SUV car segment is one of the most popular, and the Qashqai has regularly sold 200,000 units per year in Europe alone. The Qashqai competes with vehicles like the Toyota RAV4 and the Honda CR-V.
The current line-up consists of a 1.3-litre petrol engine (116 kW) and an e-Power hybrid with a 1.5-litre petrol engine (115 kW) and an electric motor (139 kW).
Interior space and usability make the Qashqai a family favourite. High-quality finishes, good ergonomics and outstanding technical features ensure this SUV’s fan base.
Some of the latest Qashqai safety features include:
- Seat belt reminder system
- Safety airbags
- Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
- Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD)
- Brake Assist System (BAS)
- Hill Start Assist (HSA)
- Intelligent around view monitor
- Moving object detection
- Intelligent Blind-Spot Warning system
- Cross-Traffic Alert systems
- Intelligent Forward Emergency Braking method
- Intelligent Forward Collision Warnings to prepare for possible impacts
Can I keep driving my Nissan Qashqai with a cracked windscreen?
Cracks formed on the windscreen, and you wonder whether you could delay the repair.
Consequences with the Law
According to UK law, it’s illegal to operate a damaged vehicle. The number of cracks will decide the fine or penalty points to the driver’s license.
Safety concerns
The windscreen and other car glass (rear windscreen and side windows) serve various safety functions in the Nissan Qashqai.
Car windows protect the occupants against the elements and airborne debris and allow the driver and passengers to enjoy their surroundings in comfort.
Any cracks or damage obstructing the driver’s vision is a hazard.
In the unfortunate event of an accident, cracked car windows will not function as per their design. Their weak structure can be harmful to the occupants and third parties.
A question of ethics
Owners of vehicles have a moral obligation towards their passengers and the public to use and keep their cars in the safest possible manner.
Time and financial concerns must not affect one’s ethical choice.
