Newbie looking for tonneau cover

P11SR20DET · Jun 26th, 2007, 09:55 AM

Hello all. I am from Trinidad (where X-Trails abound). We get most (if not all) our X-Trails from Japan. I am to be receiving a new one in the next day or two. However, it's not coming with the tonneau cover for the rear compartment. A new cover from the (st)ealership costs like US$600+ !!

I am trying to figure out if any of you guys know of some substitute mechanism I can adapt to fit? Like a retractable window blind or something. I don't feel secure with the back exposed for any thieves to see what I have in there. It's a frequent problem where SUV owners have their rear windows broken and valuables lost, because they are visible from the outside.

Also, what are the typical wheel offsets for 18" and 19" wheels? I am planning to upgrade my wheels after the factory set of tyres (16" Bridgestone) are done. Thanks guys.

You can find tonneau covers for the X-Trail on the internet for a lot less than $600US:
for example see attached link to another steeler
Oakville Infiniti Nissan in Oakville, Ontario - Parts for your vehicle. Oakville Infiniti Nissan has an excellent supply of parts for your vehicle.
Scroll down in the page linked above to see one for $250CAD.
I think we have seem them on e-bay as well before...

as for the other question please search for "Wheel" & "offset" it has been discussed before.

Unfortunately, I saw this note on their site:

"Orders to all other countries are not accepted at this time".

You could send them an email and see if their policy has changed......

The price is certainly good.
