Being a hockey dad (don't laugh I'm already rolling on the floor) the first thing that came to mind is hockey tape.I found this roll about 1"w x 100 ft long it's transperant, heavy duty and weatherproof and it costs about 2.50 I am going to give it a try and keep the members posted on durability.

I don't know what got me to switch from a BMW 530i to a Rogue 2 weeks ago but so far I like it.

I don't know what hockey tape looks like?....I had my door sills done with3M clear-bra strips....they are invisible and are working fine at stoppingthe scratches....while hopefully waiting for a Nissan fix??

I then used bulb-shape weather stripping, again, self-adhesive, on the door jam side facing the strip of molding I installed on the edge of the door. Combined with the stiffening from the roof brace, and the full door worth of Hushmat, the doors closed with a firm, smooth thump, and there's no more clunking over bumps whatsoever. I get all the way down to 55Hz out of my 6.5s (CDT ES620 Gold) in the doors, too!

I also noticed clunking from my hatch on particularly hard bumps, so I took some of the same 1/8" thick molding and installed some on the contact points for the stock stoppers and also on top of the left and right side hatch rest points. No more hatch clunking! The entire hatch itself is also Hushmatted, so there's absolutely no bass rattle from the hatch, at all--even with...

My new set of dual 10" CDT HD-10 subwoofers. I find that these subs have way cleaner, faster bass and slightly more extension than the Infinities did. They happen to be designed for very small enclosures, too, such as the ones I have, so this is a far better match than the Infinity subs were. Part of it is also probably attributable to the power of my new amp, too, Memphis', "Big Belle," the 16-MCH1300.

The rear tweeters for those who haven't seen them; JBL 608GTis.

Here's the location of the front tweeters on my CDT ES620 Gold component sets; I was inspired by the placement of the tweeters in my Altima, and decided that this placement would sound better than in the doors--and I turned out right. Surprisingly, my windows do not fog up for me, even with those vents capped off, so it's all good! Time alignment on the head unit in conjunction with a little tuning in the crossovers out back for the various components has allowed me to get clean, balanced sound with a natural, full response range. I didn't shoot any pictures of it, but I did buy and help install (yes, I actually did some of my own work for once :o) two entire bulk packs of Hushmat in the doors, the entire floor, the entire hatch and both rear quarter panels, plus two huge sheets of 1/4" Hushmat Silencer Megabond to cover the floor, on top of the layer of Hushmat itself we laid down. Even without any music playing, the difference is clearly noticeable. Even tapping my rear quarter panels yields a huge reduction in resonance.

Oh yeah, here're some exterior pictures, so you can see the newly shaved hatch cover. I also have my winter wheels & tires on the car right now (same as previous, 17x7 Ace Mantas with stock size Avon Tech M550s)....

(And still no scratches in the paint finish) Cheap to find on eBay and easy to apply. You can read more about it in this thread:
