Well as you all know i bought my rogue used and have spent money making it new again.

I noticed that the black molding in the windows is fading
so i tried to get them changed and nissan refused as this only has a 12,000 or 1 year warrenty. Pretty crappy if you ask me.

Well, today I called the dealer and the parts guy told me they where 76 dollars per window
so multipolied by 4 means a lot of money for 4 pieces of plastic.

anyone know of a cheap place to buy oem parts ?

or better yet a way to repair the fading and discoloration on the trim. Damn lady who owned it never took care of it. :mad:

These are temporary fixes since it will fade again. Your best bet is to replace them or put the chrome trim on.

If the original pieces faded already, then I would guess the replacements will fade again in 2+ years and you'll be right back where you started. I'd say you have nothing to lose trying the restoration products. If they work and you re-apply a couple times per year then you've got your solution.....

Thanda, several Rogue owners have installed these chrome pieces and I believe most found there's on ebay.....search "Nissan Rogue" and you'll see these and many other accessories.
