Re: FIAMM Battery - Potentially on Death Bed

Over here, it's 'Duralast' sold by AutoZone. These last (if you're lucky) anywhere from a year to something less than 2 months. Since my Rogue was manufactured in Japan, I got a battery that I hope is good enough to last through the end of the 3-year warranty. Rob has an old (2008) Chevy Trailblazer...

Re: Bonnet bra

AVS_Aeroskin_2017-2019NissanRogueSport_Smoke_322170_1.jpg We added this to my 2019 Rogue Sport S yesterday after work. It's the Aeroskin hood protector for the Nissan Rogue Sport and it looks GREAT! It went on like a dream (Rob really had no issues with it) but follow the directions for the surface...

Re: Replaceing the Antenna

Hi, Dave. We (he!) replaced mine in about 10 minutes. The replacement is black on the dark blue of my Rogue Sport and looks GREAT! I hated the goofy looking pole antenna and this really makes the car look sleek. The funny thing was, I now have a better reception than I had with the OEM setup! I can ...

Replaceing the Antenna

I don't like the look of the standard antennae and found a 'shark fin' antenna on eBay which is a replacement for the mast. I think the mast looks goofy on a vehicle as sleek as the Rogue Sport/Qashqai. Has anyone ever changed out the antenna for one of these? [url]https://www.ebay.com/itm/Functiona...

Re: Bi-LED Headlamps - How Good Do You Find Yours?

I had Rob (my boyfriend) install LED lows on my Rogue Sport. They're nice, but nothing 'awesome' like I expected. Bright white in the near view, but they don't really go out far enough. I left the highs as halogens and, between them, they do a nice job of lighting the road. I had him install LED bra...

Re: Monkey Vs Door Handle

Finished it and it looks just fine! I did find that the tape they provide is rather thin and flat, so I beefed it up with a slightly wider and thicker 3M tape that really bonds to the existing door handle. Didn't have that issue with the covers for the buttons in front to the handle - these snapped ...

Re: I Need A Specific Part!

THANK YOU! I ordered one from the US e-Bay (expensive - $9.50 US with shipping from the UK) but I want a complete car! I can't imagine that they would use a different little button for this part between the UK and the US version of the vehicle. But then again, I can't imagine why they would have no ...

I Need A Specific Part!

I have looked high and low, searched the internet, contacted Nissan, even went to a dealer's parts department - no luck! It's the part on the rear hatch, the little button that the movable tray clips to with that string. I'm missing one from the passenger's side - not the string - just the button on...

Re: Monkey Vs Door Handle

Thanks! I really like the way that looks and ordered a set, without the IK hole (mine doesn't have that feature) and will install them when they come in. They will complement the chrome edge guards I have on all the doors (front and back). I usually use the U channel type of door guard but the front...

Re: Brake Light Lens Removal

Well, we finally got the driver's side combo light off! He installed the LCD light and I started the car and turned on the lights. We had running lights. I depressed the brake - no change in the driver's side, but the passenger's side glowed brightly. He took the LCD out and revered the bulb and we ...
