New Wind Delfector Installed....impression

Had the dealer install my replacement Wind Visor this weekend.

It seems to be much more substantial that the previous rendition, so I am sure it will be better.

My gripe was that the dealer installed One of the Brackets INCORRECTLY (backwards, actually) and the roof made a HORRIBLE THUNKING sound when sealed shut. It was literally scraping the rubber seal on the metal bracket!! ...very bad!

Of course I didn't notice until I was 3 miles down the highway.
I quickly pulled-off the road, and determined the cause - and that it was not worth returning for a fix.
I took it home, reversed the plastic bracket, and peace & harmony were again achieved in Maxland!

Moral of the story: Check your roof before departing the dealership.

Good Luck.

I bought and serviced @ Bill Newton Nissan in Conyers, GA. About 20 min east of ATL. I doubt I'll be going back there -- not bad service, just too far to drive for me -- I live in the city.
I'm not big on dealer servicing anymore anyway --- only if warranty dictates.

I would have PREFERRED to just pick the visor and do it myself - but dealer INSISTED that warranty work be completed by the mech.

Ironic how I did it better myself, isn't it???!

We paid for it -- go get it free.
