Side Window Deflectors / Hood Bug Deflector

[tinstar]

I have been on the lookout for side window deflectors and hood bug deflectors for the last 4 months since I purchased my Rogue. I know it is a new model and vendors need time to design and manufacture these new items.

I have been watching (WEATHER TECH) and other vendors and as of today they still do not offer these items.

Do any other Rogue owners have any info on the availability of these items?

I dunna know what's going on with the Rogue. These items should have been available months ago. I bought my Azera (that'a a Hyundai in case you all were wondering) in March or 06 just a few months after launch and accessories were available through Macneil, JCWhitney, and all the other usual suspects. What's up with the Rogue???

Maybe it's the name "Rogue", definition: maverick, not main stream, outside the box, independant. LOL

bought my Rogue Last October and had the big deflector install at the dealer before dlivery.

I just called my Nissan Dealer (parts dept), they stated as of now the hood bug deflector "is not available" all they carry is the "nose mask", they do not know when they will become available for distribution to customers.

Consider yourself lucky; your Nissan dealer should share the wealth and advise the other Nissan dealers nationwide of availability.

Anyone found any side window deflectors for the Rogue yet?

I just checked today with MacNeils and Sportys....and, I've beenleaving email prods with MacNeils for several months, ALL to noavail. I told Sportys that the Rogue has been out for around7 months....but, they still haven't got them. I don't want any ofthem except for the Weathertechs, I think they are the best...so,I wait!

What makes the Weathertechs so much better than the other brands?

I've owned and used side window deflectors from all the makers, someseveral times.....starting with the ones that you stuck on the outside toall the latest ones that are now in-track installed.

The major difference between Weathertechs and ALL the others is thatthe Weathertechs in-track mounting tabs are, or at least were, about halfthe thickness of the others. This means less obstruction in the windowtrack for a smoother operation, and thus less stress on all parts involved.

I think they are a superior product, unless the others have wised up andare now catching up to Weathertechs quality and engineering.

I see your point. I just went to their website and watched the video on the deflectors. They look impressive! I think I'll hold out for the Weathertechs too.

Thanks.....

What im getting from other forums is that the hood deflector is only available in Canadian dea;ers or on E bay.

I haven't seen any of these accessories on Ebay yet. You are correct about them being available at Canadian dealers though.

MisterGib, I think the side window deflectors shown are of the 'stick-on' variety.

...yes, those are stick-ons....they're certainly not Weathertechs, don't know what brand those are??

The accessories shown are likely produced by the same mfg that makes them for all Nissan's in Canada:

Form-Fit a.k.a. Focus Auto Design in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
