Wow - they do look good, @walstib - thanks for the photo! Looks like you got the dark tinting - good choice!
I am curious (if you got a set of four), for the rear doors, do they require clips to install?
Thanks!!

Weather Tech only offered the front windows when I ordered from them. Very easy install. Love having them fit into the channel vs using some sort of tape. I had these of my prior van, a MB Metris, and they worked great.

Thanks for the feedback, @walstib - I see what you mean. This link reveals exactly what you said - only the front pieces are available for the 2022 Pathfinder. 2022 Nissan Pathfinder Rain Guards - Side Window Deflectors For Cars, Trucks, SUVs, Minivans | WeatherTech.
I agree - the front ones are an easy install - I have them on my 2001 Tahoe and had them (also) on my 2019 Rogue SL and 2006 Jaguar S. The front pieces are easy. It's the rear ones (with clips) that can be a challenge depending on the fitment.
I am going to give Nissan a tad more time to come up with the product and, if they don't, I will get the Weather Tech based on your favorable experience with the Pathfinder!

Is there still no 4 window solution on the market? I have been waiting desperately for a way to get this and sure, just the fronts are fine for functionality... but the look externally just seems off when its only the front windows. I dont really care between the 2-sided tape solutions (I take time to install these correctly in the past) or in-channel ones. Just weird the void of aftermarket stuff after almost 2 years for this model. We need to push aftermarket more!

I cannot be sure from the photos, @MikeZ - are these two-sided tape deflectors or, are they the in-channel installation type? For a 4-piece set, they are attractively priced!

Hey, according to the listing -
Attachment Type: Adhesive
So it must be double-sided tape. I like these better than in-channel.
 
#29 ·
Thanks, @MikeZ - that is what my thought was, too - it is double-sided tape.
For me, I prefer the in-channel installation type. I've had them on all my cars throughout all the years and have never had an issue. I always feel/think the units attached with 2-sided tape will somehow come off over time (car washes, etc), even though I have been told that is not the case.
I also like the 'look' of the in-channel install better...
Personal choice, that's all!

Definitely prefer in channels. I had tape installed ones from Nissan on my 09 xterra....lasted about 10 years, then one failed....even with proper cleaning and a new install with better tape....they would no longer stick.....

Those weathertechs look great! But wondering why they only have the fronts available.....i feel that the rears would be an easier design!

I agree with you, @knuckles. I'll have to take the time and give WeatherTech a call and see what their plans are for the rear window vent shades. Many of the rear window shades (depending on the window size), are designed with window clips. Then, depending on the application, the clips can be a bit tricky to install on some cars. The weather stripping has to be pulled down and/or out of the way to install the clips and then the shade can be fitted in place. Some are trickier than others...They've been doing this for so many years and so many different brands and models, I would think they would have this already.:eek:

As of today, Monday April 10th, I have yet to see a rear set of Side Window Deflectors from WeatherTech. I do see the OEM in-channel set from Nissan, but they require a "bracket" on both their front and rear deflectors (along w/ pulling down weather stripping...). There's that set on the 'Bay w/ a "PTHFINDER" logo that is an outside channel design, but it's still out of stock. Finally, there's the Ventvisor set from AutoVentShade (#AVS94765) that is an outside mount as well and what I may just go ahead and purchase for now until WeatherTech releases their rear deflectors (which may or may not be as complicated as the Nissan OEMs). The heat and humidity is starting to build up here in GA, and it's time for some good deflectors to leave the window(s) partially opened.

Hey @Lightfoot025 - thanks for the follow-up.
Coincidentally, today I also followed up with WeatherTech.
Here is the latest (although nothing is new):
They still only have the front side window deflectors. In the dark tint, the part number is 801052, and it is priced at $64.95. Shipping is $15, and tax is $6.90. They are the 'in channel' design and the front pieces just fit in place (which is how they've installed all along) - no clips or pulling down the window channel rubber.
The rear side window deflectors are not available as yet, but are still in the 'design stage' - being designed in Germany. However, they do have the part number 811052, but they cannot be ordered yet. No price yet, no estimate as to when they will be available.
From Nissan, the part number is listed as: T99D3-6TAOA. They are listed at $155 for the set of 4, but are not available at all!! I've seen other local dealers listing the item on the website with much lower prices which makes me wonder what they are offering. Some of these dealers, just don't make any sense to me!
The weather here on Long Island, in New York, is not that bad yet (for April), but, I hope to make a decision before May to buy and install them, at least in the front (WeatherTech). I do not want to go through another summer season without being able to crack the front windows when the car is parked.
I know if you scroll up to post #21, a picture of the truck with the front two deflectors installed was posted by @walstib. They look cool to me, and I am leaning in that direction...

Wow @Hebrew Hammer , thank you so much for the detailed communications. Good to hear that weathertech is indeed making a set.....unsure of what their lead times from their "design phase" to full on production would be, but I would imagine that we will not see the rear deflectors anytime this year if that is the case. I am hoping I am wrong, because I would love to crack my windows pretty soon. The heat and humidity here in the Houston, TX area gets pretty unbearable at times....

Im not seeing the Nissan OEM deflectors in stock either, and no description on how they are installed on the vehicle. I would assume they will be like the OEMs i had on my 09 Xterra and be mounted to the outside of the vehicle with tape....HOPING i am wrong....I absolutely hate exterior mounted vent visors.....

Might just need to bite the bullet and order the Weathertech fronts.....I just don't know if I will be able to live with the aesthetics of only having fronts on LOL

Hi @knuckles, it's my pleasure! It's funny (to me), what you said about 'living with the aesthetics' of only the front vent shades installed. I almost wrote the same exact words in my post, including the 'bite the bullet' phrase. But, instead I went with 'I'm leaning in that direction.
I thought you might be interested in these links, too:

First, this one: (Nissan USA): 2023 Nissan Pathfinder Side Window Deflectors. Exterior - T99D3-6TA0A - Genuine Nissan Accessory
And second, this one: (Rockville Centre Nissan): 2023 Nissan Pathfinder Side Window Deflectors. Exterior - T99D3-6TA0A | Nissan of Rockville Centre, Rockville Centre NY

First, I found the part on the Nissan USA website. And then, I checked out the local dealers (in this case, Rockville Centre), although I also checked out others. In each case, a local dealer indicated they had access to the vent shades, (at different prices), but I never followed through. That is because my own dealer (25 miles away, a long story), tells me it is NOT available. If that is the case, what on earth are the other dealers marketing?

Anyway - somehow, somewhere I was able to find the Nissan installation instructions (which I cannot pin down now), and the instructions are interminable and quite confusing. So - we'll see when and if, they complete the development process. Like you, I don't plan on going through another summer weather season with no protection so, the front shades will have to do. Leaning in that direction but, the aesthetics! :eek:

HAHAHA great minds think alike! So what I am gathering, is that in the installation instructions, it mentions the Nissan deflectors as "in channel"?

Showing some available at a dealer closer to me for $143...and at the dealership that I purchased mine at(which I happen to have a few friends at as well...for $153.....

I might try to go with Nissans route on these as long as they are in fact in channels.....my worry is when Weathertech finally releases the full set, they will likely be about the $143 range as I saw at Nissan.....sooooo why wait!

Well....they are next on the docket for me at least....first I need to figure out how to mount my new roof mounted cargo rack....may have to purchase aftermarket crossbars...but that is an entirely non thread related headache

Hi again, @knuckles - looks as though we are, indeed, like minded!
And yes, you are correct, the Nissan wind deflectors are 'in channel' based on the instructions I (somehow) saw - there is no question.
Naturally, I will be more than curious about the 4-piece set that you are seeing in your neck of the woods. If, in fact, they are a 4-piece set and in-channel, as stated, I would also be very, very interested! If you turn out to be successful, I will hound the local dealers who are advertising it to get the same thing!
I am sitting here now, on pins and needles, looking forward to the update! Like you, I will not order the WeatherTech 2-piece set if Nissan (locally) has the 4-piece set.
GOOD LUCK!!

Can't wait any longer, so I went ahead and purchased the VentVisor 4-piece outside mounted set from AutoVentShade (AVS # 94765).

Once I see that WeatherTech releases a set for both the front and rear and if there're a better in-channel setup over the OEM's, I'll just purchase those and replace the AVS set. More to follow...

Thanks for the update, @Lightfoot025 - I'll be looking forward to seeing them installed on your truck when they come. Were you able to get the in-channel type?
Based on the suggestion from @MikeZ, above (in post #38), I called my own Nissan dealer and spoke with parts who I have been hounding for this since I bought the car in March 2022.
I have what I think and hope is good news. Now, my dealer, who has repeatedly said they were not available to order. said he could 'see' them and ordered them yesterday. He claims he will have them on Saturday or Monday.
We'll see - keeping my fingers crossed!
