    Weather tech Side window deflector

    I didn't edit my previous post. Apparently there are 2 styles, fitted and non-fitted. I opted to order the fitted style since they are a better fitment and have a chrome strip across the tops to match the chrome trim on the doors. I'm still working on what postage will be. The dealer had to...

    QX56 - Anyone here owned one?

    QX56 - Anyone here owned one?

    Get service records. As a Titan owner, there are plenty of shared issues, mostly the rear axle seals and front suspension premature wear. Also, the engine exhaust manifolds tend to crack, even after the redesign mid '08.
