Just received my catalogue from "Sportys Tool Shop". They have Rogue deflectors. I ordered mine today, both front and rear windows. They are not cheap...$115 US total with shipping. Check them out at Sportys.com. They're German made, but so was the NSU Wankel.

Sportys called this morning. The person taking my order made a mistake. The deflectors are not available for trhe Rogue. Sorry, y'all. I thought it was a done deal.

Cool, can't wait to see how the Rogue looks with them.

yep...I just got the call too....my order is
cancelled. (Oh, and by the way, the ones that
Sportys sells are the Weathertechs, I asked when
they called to cancel my order)

I sent weathertech an Email and also filled out their product request form. http://www.weathertech.com/service/a...onrequest.aspx There are strength in numbers if you'd like to fill one out too.

I'll let you know when I hear back from them. By the way they have some cool products for the Rogue. http://www.weathertech.com/store/mvp...ustomerVehId=0

...thanks for the added help Squid....but, I've already done that
form several times since getting my Rogue...done the same
thing with the K&N site for their air filters, and the Borla site for
their dual exhausts...I have not heard back from any of them....
so much for customer service??

There's a guy on the Nico forum who has side window deflectors on his Rogue.

Thanks Sputnik, but, been there done that....that
guy is in Canada. We tried replying to his thread,
and emailing him....all with no response back. We
were unable to learn what brand or where they
were bought.

So, I'm wait'n for the Weathertechs to get to the
market.....

Sputnik · #9 (**permalink**) 04-19-2008, 04:47 PM

I'm in Canada too! I will see what I can find up here...

ok y'all.....we have now been waiting going on
7+ months and still no side window deflectors on
the market from anybody....especially Weathertech
which are, I believe, to be the best. (If any of you
are familiar with the mounting of the Weathertechs
you will understand the following...)

I have a suspicion why....Weathertech rear deflectors
mount in the window track....the ends are held
in place by sticky tape.

If you look at the shape of our rear windows, you
will notice that the top-rear, side of each window
slants backwards, instead of vertical or forward.
This creates a problem in securing the visor in
place when rolling down the rear windows...the
window would tend to pull that end of the visor
down with it....this could either be causing the
production delay or may negate Weathertech
even offering rear window deflectors at all, they
may still offer front window deflectors since their
shape is more conventional and actually lock in.

I've had several sets of Weathertechs on several
different cars that I have owned.....even with the
window frames vertical, I've had the window visors
loosen a bit and the rear window attempt to pull
it downward so I know that it happens.

This is just my .02 worth, I'm trying to come up
with a reason why its taken so long for them to
come out??

Whatchathink?
