I have weathershields fitted to both front doors, supplied with the vehicle from Nissan. I think they were about $80 for the pair, but could easily be wrong there.

Thanx mate

Yep, I've got the Nissan ones fitted both sides (well they were on the D22 when I bought it), and they work a treat.

I always thought, weathershields, naaahh, who needs 'em? But, they stop wind gusting in when driving along, and the rain of course. Well worth it.

Try ebay there is some sets on there as well.
I think they particulalry offer Seniors Dicount on the weather shields

i hate those weather shields. stick your head out the window to look behind or at front wheel and get your head stuck on it.
last vehicle i used that had one i nearly smashed it off in frustration after 10 minutes driving.

I have got a drivers one on both my other cars, and I really do miss it on my Nav. That reminds me, I must stop into nissan and get one.

For the D40 there are two versions, the normal size and a "slim" version. Might have similar for the D22.

Not sure how effective the slim versions are.

I have the slim ones on my D22, which I fitted after I had the car for a while. I would not bother with the slim ones again to be honest. They do not prevent buffeting with the window open. The best they do is keep the window relatively driy on the top half when driving in the wet. I only went the slimlines as all the full size ones I have ever seen cover the mirror so you would have a distorted image from the convex glass further distorted by the plastic.

I have been thinking about removing them as the benfit is small and tehre was a noticeable increase in wind noise with the window up.

I have weathershields on both sides of my Nav, they work really well.

With the large ones fitted on mine, I simply "see" straight past any distortions. I don't even notice the effect.

Got the full sized ones on the D22. Misses thinks they are "grandpa-ish" and at first I did to, but with the rain lately its been good being able to still have the windows down a bit.
