Hi All,
I'm new to this forum - but I'm glad I found it!
I bought my first ever Nissan 5 months ago, its a 2012 Navara D40 Automatic. And its the best car I've ever owned!!
But - onto my problem: Late last year I ordered a set of genuine Navara weather shields. i picked them up today and installed them. You wouldn't think you could get something like this wrong, but it appears I have?
I followed the instructions, got everything on, got the tape stuck down, installed the metal inserts with the plastic screws in the appropriate pre drilled holes on the weathershield, tightened everything up and thought "Wow, that wasn't so hard".... Until i put the windows up... .
The plastic screw / nut head hits the window. I figured I'd put them in wrong way round, so undid everything and put them in the other way round - they still hit the window.. It can't be that I've put the metal insert in incorrectly, as the window would never physically clear the insert if I had, and as it is its only just fouling on the end of the plastic nut.
Has anyone else done a DIY and encountered this issue.
Do I actually NEED these clips? Its only two clips, on the bottom edge of the weather shield (in front of the mirror)
Can I just file the tops of the nut down a little?
