FYI to all interested, that the 4-piece outside mounted wind deflector/rain guard is back in stock on e8ay. The Seller states that there are five (5) left as of this post, and these are fitted for 2022 and 2023 Pathfinders. This set looks very similar to the 4-piece AVS set I ordered yesterday, and they have the text "PATHFINDER" engraved on them. Link: WINDOW VISORS for Nissan 2022 → 2023 Pathfinder DEFLECTOR RAIN GUARD VENT SHADE | eBay

Like I said earlier, I'll run with the outside mounted window deflectors from AVS until I see a full in-channel set from WeatherTech (that isn't too complicated). I think the single most important thing I need right now is a solid & specific HOOD DEFLECTOR for bugs, rocks, etc. ...

Good luck with them, @Lightfoot025. I like the 'pathfinder' engraving - nice touch! I've been running in-channel styles all these years - I just don't want to get used to the two-side tape outside installation. It's a personal preference.
I plan to wait to see if my dealer is successful ordering (and receiving), the in-channel Nissan product.
I am not seeing the hood deflector for the 2022/2023 Pathfinder anywhere!!
Maybe someone else will chime in!

There's also that thing from DesignerTrim.com, but I'll pass on that one too...

I'm here at work today/tonight, but UPS dropped off the 4-piece Auto Ventshade (AVS) Outside Mount Ventvisor in Smoke (# 94765) a little while ago. I'll take a look at them when I get home and get some pics for everyone once they're installed.

These should hold me over until a full set of WeatherTech's in-channel Side Window Deflectors are available. Not going through the drama or hassle of the OEM's...

I'll get some better pics once I get back in later today, but for the most part there're pretty basic and simple to install (alcohol wipes, heat gun, patience, etc.). Gonna be 86° today, so I welcome the chance to leave the windows open a bit. More to follow...

Well, here we go - it took me a week to 'cool off' from this whacky fiasco and report here!
As some of you know, I (and others here as well), have been looking for the Nissan Side Window Deflector,
p/n T99D3-6TA0A, since I took delivery of the car in March 2022. Lots of internet searches, and plenty of talking back and forth with the dealer's parts folks and service people.
Well, finally - I hit pay dirt! The parts guy called early last week and I had an appointment for Friday 4/20. I would wait for the car. So, they take the car in 1/2 hour after I arrive. I kept walking back and forth, keeping my eye on the service area, where the car was. It didn't look like there was much activity.
It turns out the mechanic came out (45 minutes later), and starts talking with the service adviser. They call me in and let me know that 'we're very sorry but 4 pins are missing!' (what 4 pins? what are we talking about?) The part came vacuum sealed on the standard cardboard backing, with the hardware inside the vacuum seal wrapping. After a lot more apologies, they promised to call when these 4 pins (which are on back order), are available. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!
I've attached a photo of the product. The wait continues...

If you can, definitely go for "In-Channal" types due to them being & looking more streamlined on newer Pathfinders. WeatherTech, Nissan OEM, and this set on Etsy each fit the bill, but W.Tech only has a set for the front windows currently.

The outside window deflectors from AVS I currently have on my '23 RC do a pretty good job allowing me to keep my front & rear windows partially open for airflow and cooling, but they do add to the perceived wind noise while driving and they have a higher profile in regards to automated and/or manual car washes.

I'm still looking around myself for the time being...

They do look good! After seeing the complex installation instructions of the OEM for the Pathfinder, I wonder what these aftermarket in-channel units require for installation (both front, but especially the rear ones!)
