@meng83 Unfortunately, I already purchased the bumper protector over here. Also, I won't be driving right in to NYC. I am staying with family in Fanwood, NJ. The roads are fine from here to there. I will be taking the train into NYC

It appears that it covered what I could only guess is the rear windshield wiper fluid pump assembly. I don't see it being a big problem. When i put the old 16" steel wheels back on as my winter tire I am going to put the cover back. Next summer I will put a spacer in the wheel so it will clear the molding, but for now (until the winter) I am leaving it off. I don't foresee a problem. Anyone have any thoughts?
I noticed that molding in the rear pass side, so when I hear people using 22" wheels I just don't see how. Mine is a 20" and I hear rubbing every now and then. I love your ride by the way.

@SinCindy30 Thanks. There was definitely rubbing with the moulding in place. My tire size is 275/40/R20. I actually took my car into the dealer where I bought it to show the guys the wheels (they wanted to see the finished product). One of the service techs told me that the protective moulding was actually pretty important as it protected a part which shouldn't get dinged up (can't remember which part it was----I'm not very mechanically inlclinned---in one ear out the other). He has installed 20" on the Rogue before, and knew how to fix it. There is actually a piece on the moulding which is added to add curved appearance in the wheel well (point of contact causing the rubbing noise). This piece is entirely for cosmetics, and can be cut away without damaging the protective piece. When I dropped by to show them the vehicle, he took it in the shop and fixed it up for me free-of-charge. It was a 15 minute job
