I have a 2015 Rogue SL, and I've been looking for a decent aftermarket tonneau cover (versus the genuine Nissan version for $160-$200). Has anyone had good success with an aftermarket cover? I can find several for the Rogue Select, or pre-2014 Rogues, but no luck for the 2015 Rogue SL at a lower price point. Any good vendors I could shop?

Are you talking a full aftermarket car cover? Perhaps I'm old, but when I hear "tonneau" covers I think covering convertible seats when the top is down or covering an open pickup bed (no cab). Neither of which applies to a Rogue. If it's a full car cover, I purchased one for my outdoor stored 4runner from "Auto Anything" several years ago. Very good experience. In fact, It was so good that I still have the cover after selling my 4 runner and I use it on my garage stored, much smaller Nissan (as a dust cover. (being indoors, it doesn't matter that it's too big, there's no wind). As far as which one you should get, that depends on several factors, many of which I'm sure differ from mine. For example, factors like, off the top of my head, whether you store indoor or outdoor, how windy it gets if stored outside, temp range, how much rain/ice/snow you get, how often you remove it (daily vs occasionally), how clean you keep your car. (never put a cover on a dirty car, might scratch). You want a cover that handles the factors you consider most important. I ended up with a fairly thick moisture resistant mid-range priced one that had plenty of plastic O rings for fastening, as it gets cold/rainiy/icy/windy here in SE PA. My 4 runner was my bad weather commuter, so it did not get used every day. It I paid about $250 for my cover . I also ended up getting a few freebie Harbor freight tarps to go on top of the cover (attached with bungees ) whenever the forecast called for snow/ice, as it can be a pain in the butt to remove (and especially) reinstall the covers when they're frozen/icy/snowy. It seems like overkill but that combo worked great. It took only a couple of minutes longer to put the tarps on top, but a LOT easier to remove when time was a bigger factor for me. It's also easier to rotate the tarps until they dry/thaw than the car cover itself. I hope that helps. Good discussion topic.
